I only had my A6 for 3 months. On the way home from the dealership (It was 5 hours away), the transmission went out. Only an Audi dealer can replace it, so it was a little over $5,000. Then the passenger seat switch broke. It was going to cost $300 to fix, but decided to leave it alone. Then a coolant pipe broke and costed $85 for the pipe plus $25 for the coolant you HAVE to use on Audis. Two days later I got a warning light and took it to the dealership. They adjusted some sensors but warned that a $11,000 repair was about a year away and recommended I traded it in, so I did. I only had the car for 4,000 miles. I am the worlds biggest Audi fan, but if you have to have one, buy one new.
Hurts to sell this one...

Just traded in my 2006 A6 Quattro sedan 3.2 S-line with 117,500 miles for a 2016 Prestige A6 3.0 and while the new model is fantastic, I hate stepping away from my 2006. This was my first Audi and the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. Bought as CPO with 30k. The 2006 was quick and handled like on rails. Quattro system is awesome in WI winters (especially equipped with Blizzak snow tires). I had a few warranty issues before 50k (covered by Audi) and little to none since. I maintained my car well and it treated me right. Local independent shop handled all needed work. I'm am only selling for fear of costly repairs down the road which if I could predict to be reasonable, I'd keep it. Lastly, the Bose surround system is the best factory car audio I have ever heard. The misano red turns heads and many folks still think the 06 is a newer car. If you don't get hit with reliability costs, the 2006 is a GREAT value.

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.

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.
