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.

Terrific CPO purchase

I had finally outgrown my e36 m3 and decided to get a more austere sedan. I shopped Infiniti, BMW and Audi. I picked up a CPO 2006 A6 and couldn't be happier with it. The car drives wonderfully, although the V8 is a little thirsty if you keep your foot in it. I expected that though. The car is built very solid, and offers 90% of the 5er performance, but with a bit more comfortable ride. I have non-sport suspension btw, and look to change that at some point, mainly to minimize the 3" wheel gap (Toyota?). Otherwise, the car is gorgeous, and I look forward to keeping it for quite awhile. I think an A6 is a terrific CPO purchase, the extended warranty could come in handy (hopefully not).

My wife traded her A4 on an A6. I liked driving hers so well, I traded in my IS 250 for one too!

Great Car - back it up

Have a 2000 A6 Quattro. Still runs great - love the car. Good thing for the warranty though as rotors and brakes went early. Bought a 2006 3.2 quattro .Dealer told me the "only change in warranty was that wiper blades were only warrantied for 1 year". Guess what, six months later blades are shot & local dealer tells me they are no longer covered and it will cost me $50 to replace. Had some electrical surprises - audio shutting off, no way to turn back on unless battery is disconnected & reconnected. Worse, my left front headlamp leaks & fogs. When I made an appointment to have it fixed, they did not "see" it so I now have to wait for it to happen again.

Truly worth buying

I chose the A6 against Merc E-class and BMW 5-series, just because I wanted to try something different, and this vehicle seemed promising when I visited the showroom. It offers fantastic grip on the road, and I have driven it at 155 mph frequently, without being worried. All the electronics offered in the car are also very useful and good. I never experienced any error in the car as yet (after using it for over a year). I unfortunately didn't get to buy a Quattro. Therefore, i am not much happy with the FWD of this car as it tends to slip a lot during acceleration. Incase if you are planning to buy the A6, then please go for the Quattro (AWD). It literally stands out.
