My wife and I spent over a month researching and test driving midsize luxury cars and when it was all done, the Audi A6 was the clear winner. About 6 weeks later we have no regrets. It's styling and build easily surpass its competitors. The MMI is not that difficult to learn. My wife, no techie, but has mastered it and is now a big fan of the system. It just takes a little patience to learn a new way of doing things. iPod interface is excellent and the NAV system is very well implemented. Lane assist is a great safety feature and works well. I much prefer the Audi to BMW, MB or Lexus. For us, the runner up was the Infinity M35.

2008 Audi A6 4.2 quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)

I bought this car with some trepidation because Audi has a reputation for having mechanical issues but after reading some reviews I found out this particular model A6 with 4.2l v8 is an exception to that stigma. I traded from a 2015 Cadillac CTS 3.6l it was a nice fast car but this thing is grown up fast this is no little bounce sport car this is a big smooth luxury European Saloon. It’s V8 delivers plenty of torque with a healthy 350hp which translates to better performance at lower rpm . I live in a rural area and regularly drive it at 100 plus mph where it is comfortably and sure footed. It has great steering dampening with little to no torque steer the awd works great and it has an amazing transmission with a bump to shift On the gear shift or paddle shift options . I have had zero maintenance issues aside from an after market gas cap causing an error code factory cap was $56. Overall I would highly recommend this car UPDATE: I had a CtsV it was worth triple what my A6 cost me used I got it with 80k miles cheap at a lot across from University Audi (Seattle area) it was a one owner well maintained . On paper the cts and the Audi are very close in performance numbers but in the real world in practice the Audi outperforms in every conceivable category . If the Caddy is a pissed off teenager the Audi is a furious dad. It’s Awd system out performs every other system including Subaru (I owned 4 when I was younger) the acceleration with the 4.2 and 5.2 power plant is staggering in all conditions . The weight of the car gives it amazing stability at all speeds coupled with pneumatic suspension system with several beneficial modes. This thing is a well refined animal that crushes everything while simultaneously feeling like it’s no big deal. If you ever are so lucky as to acquire one of these never let it go maintain it like and aircraft because it can damn near fly. Absolutely in love over here in the PNW

2008 Audi A6 3.2 Avant quattro 4dr Wagon AWD (3.1L 6cyl 6A)

We have had the car for about 6 months and it is a perfect family wagon. It has plenty of room for a family of four and a dog. It gets about 25 mpg in mixed driving and 29 on a recent highway trip. I have been a Japanese car fan for the last 10 years after several BMWs left me wanting something with less maint. down time. I saw that the Audi reliability ratings were getting to a point that I felt comfortable giving an Audi a try. It's only been 6 months, but so far not one problem. We also live in New England and wanted all wheel drive, but we didn't want a truck. It was great in the snow and handles like a sports car on the dry pavement.
Not happy!

Well have had my a6 for just 2 yrs now and 40,000 miles and the problems just keep on coming. First was the seat controls separating from the seat at 17,000 and not covered under warranty charged $40 to tighten bolt. Next was the xenon headlight going on and off, dealer said it was what they do when they are about to go bad $350. Then car started to run rough and engine light on told computer issue but that did not fix it. Then back to shop to find out it was carbon build up. Major engine work, fixed under warranty this time otherwise over $1,000 to fix. Dealer said that its because the gas today is not high enough octane to work with audis new engine design. Whats next? My last Audi.
This car is awful. Bad is too mild

Reading good reviews by the editor as well as some owners, my daughter decided to give it a try...I wish she did not. The car has 10,500 miles on it. It is 1.5 years old. She came here to Milwaukee for a funeral. On the way from Chicago the yellow light came on. As soon as she got out of the highway the car stalled. She called the road assistance as well as the leasing company and they told her to try starting it. The car started. They told her that since this is just the yellow light drive it and bring it in when you are back. On the way to the funeral the car stalled again 3 times! She had to borrow mine, left the car parked on the street. This is the Audi/German luxury
