great ride if you dont mind spending for it
Nice looking car great design, poor quality materials. From headlight, abs module, air bag module, trac control, skipping CD player, to break light failure it has lots of electrical problems. Not much mechanical problems, but some structural noises.

2005 Audi A6 C6 3.2Q Sport Package
Purchased used 2010 with 47,000 miles and now has about 67,000 a year later. Beautiful car both inside and out, and you find that new models (2010+) have copied the styling cues (Jaguar XF, Chevy Malibu, Hyundai Sonata and must recently the Volvo S60). That says much for the overall exterior design and impact. The interior is fantastic, as well as the engine/drivetrain. I would buy another used, especially if Certified Pre-Owned, but the new prices are rediculous.

It was sold as a "luxury car" for a reason...
I think the people who get the most joy out of owning a car like this are the ones who can afford to not worry about maintenance, which is unfortunate since the prices of this car attract people who probably have to watch their spending. I have a 2005 3.2 Avant Quattro, with all the options, including air suspension, keyless entry, heated seats all round, etc. The previous owner spent many thousands on maintenance so when I bought it I thought most of the work had already been done, it was at 145,000km, or 90,000 miles. Overall the driving experience has been incredible for the second hand price, but now, about 6 months in, things are starting to go wrong. Power steering pump, air suspension, and passenger door lock are all having issues now. I factored this in when I bought the car so I'm not surprised, nor regretful, but it does cost a lot to maintain. If you don't have to worry about spending lots of money on it, you'll have an incredible time. If you have to watch what you spend, it'll be a nice car to own but be pretty harsh on the pocket. I'm 17 and I bought this car as my first, so it's incredibly nice for me, but almost everything I earn in my part-time job goes towards this car.

Excellent First Car
After reading reviews about the A6 having a lot of electrical problems with the MMI system I was very hesitant to buy. However, this was not the case. The car handles unbelievably around corners and has great gas mileage.(I get around 250 mi-300 mi city and close to 400 on highway. Overall the car is stunning both inside and out and I would highly recommend this car. The only downside with this car is that repairs are expensive and most of the time the part must be directly ordered through Germany, so it may take longer than anticipated for your car to be fixed.
Not very good service
In 3 years this car has not had any big issues until recently. Since the dealer replaced a 'recall' part of a fuel filter or pump, the car periodically does not start. Eventually it does (I haven't had to be towed yet). It has been in repair regularly since October and they say it is not replicating what I describe. After several attempts at this, the dealer now has called in a 'special engineer' to work on my car. I am now driving a low budget A4 loaner as the dealer still has my car and has not returned any of my calls. Audi USA service is just as unresponsive and very robotic with all of their responses. They are of no help.
