2006 Audi A6 Wagon

I drive 120 miles daily to Santa Cruz CA, up over the mountains (dreadful highway 17). For this the car is great! When it rains the road becomes treacherous and the car holds the road and stops better than everyone else. A real plus! The car is comfortable, quiet and makes the commute quite bearable.

The best car I've ever owned

My 2006 Audi A6, which I bought new, has been the best car I've ever owned. The handling, comfort, and fuel economy are great for a car of its size. It has been highly reliable and, at almost 13 years and 115,000 miles, is still a pleasure to drive and to look at. The only negative is the lack of modern safety/technology features, and it is for that reason alone that I'm thinking of trading it in soon.

Great car with hefty maintenance price

I have the S-Line package. This car is a lot of fun to drive and handles better than most cars I've owned; the quattro AWD system certainly inspires confidence. For its weight, the car is a little underpowered with the V6 engine. Seats are a little firm and I can't seem to adjust the driver's seat just right. Long trips are still pretty easy. Rear seat has a lot of leg room. The female end of the center seat belt is recessed and hard to reach for practical use; definitely cannot use a car seat or booster seat in the center. Other than that, car is very well built, gets a lot of looks from people, and is not all that common (making it even better!).

Best car I've ever owned, except....

This 2006 A6 has been the best car I've ever owned, it's an absolute monster going through the mountains and back roads using the paddle shifters and gets fantastic gas mileage the whole way there. The interior is beautiful and is a benchmark for luxury. But about a day after I got it (with 99k miles) there were a lot of warning lights coming on consisting of tire pressure sensors, adaptive headlight faults, and intake manifold carbon build up. Along with the mmi not working I took it to the dealership to see how much it would be to fix everything, Which was a mistake. After having everything quoted, I was going to spend about $11,000. Over 2X what I paid for the car in the first place. Having this car serviced is not something to look forward to at all because it's going to kill your wallet and the more you think about it the less you want to drive the car in fear of something breaking. About 3 days after that the started went out leaving me stranded and spent about $400 on parts and labor from a small shop specializing in German vehicles. If you get an Audi just enjoy it and dont worry about any repairs down the road but make sure you've got a big cushion for when something dies happen because unfortunately it WONT be cheap at all.

Great Styling but defective brakes

Nice car for the money. Beautiful interior and solid performance. Canyon red color is eye catching and unusual. Brakes are annoying and 3 dealers could not fix the grab and squeal. Mileage with OEM tires was excellent. I replaced them at 30,000 miles with Bridgestone all season but poor roll resistance yields full 15% poorer mileage. Stick with OEM Continental tires.
