Audi A6, 'Awesome Car'

I've owned my car 3 mos and I've never been more pleased with any car before. Lots of power, sure-footed as a cat, sexy lines, smooth as silk, fabulously rich interior, and a head turner. What more can I say; I haven't gotten this much car attention since my Plymouth Prowler. And I've had 2 M/Bnzs, a Jag, a Lexus, 2 BMW's, a Vette, a Miata and a few pick-ups & SUV's. I sorta wish I'd gotten the 4.2 V8, but decided the 3.2 V6 was powerful enough. Besides, I could spend the extra $9k on a cruise and some clothes. My car is one major conversation piece. If you really check it out, you to will love it and become an 'AUDIPHILE'.

I was in the market for a new mid-size luxury car: as others who have posted, I had my mind set on a BMW 5 series. I had a friend recommend I take a look at the A6 before purchasing my BMW and I'm glad I did. From its supple luxurious interior to the many gadgets (advanced key, MMI and Bluetooth capability), this car has truly been everything Ive ever wanted in a car (and more). After performing extensive research, I found that the A6 was definitely the best car for the money, particularly when a comparably equipped BMW 5 series and Mercedes Benz E-class could easily cost you an extra $7 - $10k.

1040 miles on my new 4.2 and not a single flaw. Exceptionally quiet and a smoother ride than what I've read in various reviews. The car is fun to drive and the $9K extra for the 4.2 may just be worth the extra sizzle in performance. I ordered all the options, including the solor sun roof which works well during these recent hot and dry triple digit Nevada summer days. I too switched from a 2005 5 Series BMW purchase order after taking a last minute visit to the Audi store. Fit, finish, ride all helped to change my mind. Quattro is a must during those long Lake Tahoe winters, something BMW is still trying to perfect.
Great Car !!

We absolutely love it and this is our second Audi. Drove to Vegas from the Bay Area and the car performed very well considering the extreme desert heat(116 degrees).Could use more horsepower but i'm satisfied with it..Great gas mileage.
Oh what a feeling...

I'm fortunate to live and work in Germany so I can occassionally unleash the A6's full potential on the autobahn. At 135 MPH (speed governed) it rides like it's painted on the road. Smooth as silk with no vibrations or nervousness (except from my passengers). Servotronic keeps steering input moderated and, if needed I can stop on a dime if a wayward Opel pulls into the left lane. I wish all A6 owners had the opportunity to wring out the German engineering that went into this car on the autobahn. They would be doubly impressed with their Audi. Besides the high speed performance, I'm impressed with its quality. After 8000 plus miles, not one problem (except that darn speed governor!).

This is really a great car spoiled by a few problems, the throttle response in stop and go traffic is horrible, the brakes grab and the car has more rattles than a baby. On the plus side a great ride with outstanding fuel economy. I purchased a fully loaded 6 rather than the 8 with fewer options and 6 is just fine. Overall the execution is ok, however for the money the E320 is the better option as Audi missed a few easy to fix issues
A No Brainer!!!

Like everyone else here, I was looking for a luxury, mid-sized sedan. I considered the Infiniti-M35, the Mercedes E class and the BMW 5-series, however threw it out quickly because of the new design. Looks cheap. The A6 is luxury throughout, is a head- turner and performs great. First gear hesitates slightly, but the rest of the gears leave little to be desired. Overall acceleration is terrific. Considering the price was $10k less than BMW/Mercedes and $5 less than the Infiniti, it was a no brainer. For all the negative press I've read about the MMI, don't believe the hype, it's a great feature, extremely easy to use and not a distraction at all. Audi wins a new fan!!

This is my 3rd Audi A6 - 1999, 2003 and now 2005. What a car! Simply gorgeous to look at, both from inside and outside. MMI is a great feature. I've compared with BMW's I-drive (what a joke!) and it's simply beyond comparison. Other owners have noted the hesitation on 1st & 2nd gears and I have notice that as well. I wonder why Audi decided to part with CVT. Simply best exterior and interior design, great sound system and absolute joy to drive on winding roads. Looking forward to more Audis in the future.

First off, the look is stunning. Loved the look at first site. However, I was weary of Audi's reputation having owned one ('84 Audi 5000s turbo) as my very first car. Needless to say, I did my research before buying the 2005 A6. I've had it for 10 months now, and already I've put 30,000 miles on it. It rides so smoothly. My only complaint is the DVD nav in that it's not accurate at times (it's rare). Telling me a gas station is a block away when there isn't one. When driving in "D" there's a little lag. But if you shift it to "S", no gap in acceleration. YOU ARE FLYING. Handling is superb. I got the A6 V6 almost fully loaded. The 18" wheels feels the road like barefoot. Excellent braking.

I bought an A6L which is more than 3.7 inches longer inside (only available in China). It comes with a 2 litre fsi turbo engine with 170hp and 280nm of torque from 1800 - 4200 rpm. with a 6 spd manual gearbox. Its a great car inside and out. The award winning engine is very responsive, good low end torque and efficient (30mpg), no turbo lag. It has great headroom and legroom. MMI is easy to use. Vision is good all round. Build quality is up there. Steering is quick and accurate as it is not as nose heavy as larger engines. Ride is comfortable. Its USD 22K cheaper than a BMW 525i so its no brainer. Very impressed. My 1st Audi.
5th Audi and still loving them...

This is my 5th Audi (93 100, 2000 A6, 2002 A6, 2004 A4 Cabriolet) and by far the best in performance, control and design. The 'lag' many speak of, lessens after 3000 miles or so on the car. Minus a few dashboard squeaks and one airbag issue at delivery, this car is flawless. Audi has always been a standout among other German brands in term of quality, interior design and never 'blends' in to the crowd of so many other boring vehicles. Being a loyal owner also means putting up with the little 'annoyances' that you have to expect from Audi.

This is a beautiful car inside and out! I decided on the A6 over the Benz E-350 and BMW 525i. The interior is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. When you're in the drivers seat, it feels like you're in a cockpit of an airplane, but still very comfortable. The leg room in back is really comfortabe for any two adults, and can accomodate 3 children (as we have) fairly comfortable. I love the new exterior styling for 2005, it has a much sportier look. Audi has definitely caught up to M-B and BMW with car, and in my opinion have passed them, epecially since my car was about $8,000 less (with Quattro) than a comparably optioned M-B and BMW.

Going from a 2002 A6 to a 2005 induces sticker shock. The sticker shock is over quickly, but the fun remains. The car has a bigger feel than the 2002, but the handling is better. The navigation system is terrific if you take the time to learn it and keep at it. But be careful not to get preoccupied with the nav system and forget about driving - it is easy to forget to keep your eyes on the road and not the screen. Acceleration is much better than the previous 3.0 - ride is much stiffer now - great "feel" for the road, but the passengers will have to acclimate if they are accustomed to a soft ride. Large trunk - smaller opening than the 2002. A great car that is fun to drive.

I look for reasons to drive. This is the first sedan I've owned in 12 years always having driven SUV's during that period. My previous was the Infiniti FX 45 AWD. This car is quick, comfortable, civilized and elegant. Excellent handing and very good in the snow. The trans is smooth as silk. Fit and finish are top notch.

Audi is really running circles around its competitors with this awesome car! I still have not tired of finding any excuse to take the A6 3.2 for a drive. Light steering, quiet and comfortable ride around town make it feel like a limo in L.A. traffic. Step on the gas on PCH or the 5 Freeway north to San Francisco and try staying under the speed limit. This car is a joy to drive. It's very powerful and responsive when you need it. At all times, it's controlled power in a car that feels substantial and safe. Driving through a torrential rainstorm to San Francisco, we felt in complete control. Plenty of power in a crisis, like the time we chased a road- rager at 100 uphill.

Except for a trunk latch and a cd player replacement, no problems at all. This is my fourth Audi and it's simply as good and reliable as my last two lexuses, but they handle like true german performance cars. Also nothing can compete with quattro in bad weather. We live in so Fla and still love the quattro in the rains we get here.

The A6 is extremely fun to drive. There really aren't many negatives. One thing I noticed is that there are some interior pieces that started to "fall apart", such as the rear view mirror came disconnected, the panel on the driver's side came loose, and finally the A6 symbol on the back of the car broke. All this was easily replaced at no charge with their excellent service package that comes with the car (even if you buy it used). Positives: definitely a unique car, even in a big city like Chicago, fun to drive, the quattro is felt, especially in the snow when all those BMWs are slipping in the snow due to their rear-wheel drive and the room in the back is unreal.

This car was great the first 12 months. I have had numerous problems with the car, the dealer and Audi NA. I would not recommend that anyone buy an Audi. The car is very unreliable and not worth the money. Parts are never in stock and service is a joke. I think I will be going to a Lexus from here. There are some good features but the are all overshadowed by Audi business practices.

I bought this car and drove off the lot with a huge smile. The smile has turned to tears. This car was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Audi is a nightmare to deal with. I have had numerous problems with the electrical system. One thing after another. They were all safety issues and made the car undrivable. There were also issues with the Sirius radio, blue tooth, speakers, airbag, and more. I am not sure if it is just my car but I am going to assume that it is. My car has been in the shop over 30 days in the last 6 months. Audi really does not care. I would never buy another.
Wonderful Car

Absolutely fun to drive. Handles very well and has excellent gas mileage for the size and horsepower of the vehicle. No problems with the car except for trunk latch had to be replaced. Exterior and interior designs are the best I have seen. A wonderful car to travel in... little driver fatigue on long trips as it is very comfortable to sit in.

This is my second Audi, I had an A4 3.0 Quattro that I just loved. While I had several issues with the A4 (failed ignition coils & cam pulley came loose), I still decided to buy the A6. I have had nearly as many quality and dependability issues since purchased. The most disappointing is a hesitation upon first drive of the day. I gave the dealer 4 tries before contacting Audi US. Still not fixed, so I will get rid of it in the fall. This car is beautiful inside and out. It is very difficult to drive smoothly, the steering is overboosted. I have always wished you could dial it down using MMI, why not, it is electronic? Speaking of MMI, simple and works great.

This is my first Audi and am happy! Very refined interior, lots of features but not gimmicky. Excellent ride and quattro is amazing. Little roll in corners, excellent brakes and pick up. 30 mpg on highways and can take regular fuel if pushed. Nice looking exterior though the grill stands out. Though I'm on my 3rd read of the manual, the MMI is generally intuitive and you can get the basics without reading anything. Generally, a great performing car with excellent road manners. Is sporty, quiet, elegant, frugal, refined and satisfying. I like just sitting in it and my family too.

I got my 2005 A6 fully loaded in 2009 from a Doctor. Had 30k miles. Drove it fir 7 years and 375k miles w no problems. I mean I went off road, on road, snow, and mud with that car. Was my first love. Had everything. Bluetooth, push to start, keyless entry, dynamic headlights, 4 seat heated, you name it, it had it.

When I lease this car, with 400 miles on the odometer, there was a vibration in the steering wheel and on the floor of the car. After returning it twice, and wheel balancing and an exchange of driveshaft from another car and new wheels, it took the dealership at least three weeks to find out the nature of the probem and hopefully correct it. Not what you would expect with a new car of such "high quality." The air conditioning system gadgets are too complicated to use.Too many Elvis Presly selections in the Sirus, no Blues as I recall.

I watched the pictures & video as they appeared on the AudiUSA.com web site. I didn't think the car could look or drive anywhere near what they advertised... I was wrong. Once I saw the new A6, I new I needed to have it! I traded my '02 A6 4.2 for the '05 - Its faster, the interior is amazing, and it handles better than the '02, if you can believe it. The redesign finally puts cup holders where you need them, but they removed the carpeted door pockets, darn.

I like the performance and reliability of this car. Handling and responsiveness is excellent. The outside styling is fair, and believe it contributes to a reduced visibility/window view through the windshield, as it is now canted at a very aerodynamic/rakish angle. I would have preferred more glass at a more upright angle. The trunk is adequate but deep and overly narrow when comparing it to the BMW 500 series. The ride on the mandatory 17" wheels (4.2 engine) is a bit too stiff for my taste. I would have preferred regular 16" higher profile tires.
Buy anything else!

I bought an A6 CPO vehicle last May thinking that I was buying a premium vehicle and a premium dealer experience. Wrong on both accounts. In the first 6 months my car was at the dealer's service department for 30 days total with not much to show except more frustration and gray hair than I would have liked. The car drives and handles like a dream, however, the cacophony of squeaks, groans, creaks and rattles from the interior is enough to drive a sane man to insanity!
