Beyond My Expectations
I've had my A6 Prestige 3.0 for about 3 months and clocked about 3,500 miles. This car is amazing. Well beyond my expectations. Exceptionally smooth and quiet ride. Effortless power. Quick and instant acceleration at any speed. The car feels solid and drives like it's on rails. The exterior design is sleek and powerful while still having a luxury image. The interior is equally as nice. Very comfortable seats. The wood grain inlays have a beautiful high-end look and feel. I love the lightning-like feel and acceleration from the supercharger. Cruising at 80 mph is effortless at a bit over 1800 rpms. All this with outstanding gas mileage. Two recent 400 mi trips averaged 34 mpg !
So much for the money...
Always find an after-market shop for repairs. NEVER go to an Audi Dealer, unless you have no other choice. In my case this is $85/hr for a very good after-market shop vs $155/hr at the dealer. I recently retired my 2000 A6 Bi-turbo with 424k miles. Anyone who says Audis don't stand up over time is talking rubbish. But at such mileage almost any luxury vehicle is going to nickel and dime you. Thus, my move to the 2012 A6 Prestige. The 2012 A6 is a differently beast entirely than the 2000 A6 it replaces. Longer wheel base, wider. The supercharged 3.0 feels distinctly different than the bi-turbo 2.7, and with a re-mapping of the ECU (APR), The engine makes 400hp vs the 310 it has in stock dress. An older driver, I've always been a 'car guy', though my priorities have changed somewhat. The 8-speed automatic features paddle shifters. The Sport mode significantly tightens up the acceleration curve. While a subjective 'anecdotal' opinion, my repair shop owner who has owned and driven some of the fastest cars out there (Lambos, Ferraris, Mercedes AMGs), says my car accelerates off the line in what feels to him like a 4.6 second 0-60. The supercharger pulley upgrades I'm planning will add another 100 hp, perhaps dropping the 0-60 time to 4.2 or 4.3. Adding free-flow Cats will will boost bhp even more. At a purchase price of $17,400 it's clearly a bargain. Audi makes 3 levels of options, the highest being what they call 'Prestige'. My Prestige 3.0T has all but two options. Getting behind the wheel to drive the 45 minute commute to work in Massachusetts is always a pleasure! Refined. Fast. Comfortable.

Unreal
I have the Prestige package, Innovation package with night vision and the 20" sport package. I cannot believe how much power this car has. I mean really, this car fly's. I was clocking 94 mph like it was nothing on the highway. Of course I did not do it for long, but I am convinced I could have had this car at 130 mph very quickly. Off the line it is very sharp and sends you back in the seat. If you have it in sport mode it can get real stupid. Of course I have already had the idiot kid next to me in a lowered Honda Prelude with his fat muffler trying to impress his girlfriend which only led to him looking stupid in my rear view mirror.
This Car Picked Me!
As many drivers of mid-sized luxury sport sedans, I too considered the usual suspects: 535Xi, 3-class, Lex-GS, and a few others. This Audi combines style with power and great handling. It's for driving and after checking the competition, this car rose above them and "picked me". My best car decision!
2-time Audi owner
Purchased my 2013 A6 prestige used with 31k miles. It has the B&O system and the 20" sports pkg; these 2 options being a must for me. I'm a previous owner of a 2010 Audi S5. I love the utility of the A6, the 4 doors and folding seats. It's surprisingly quick in acceleration for a 4k lb sedan. Yet, it is also surprisingly agile for it's heft, and it's handling is commendable. It feels planted and sure-footed, and I'm definitely a spirited driver. I push my cars whenever I get the chance, driving them to their designed limits! Braking is linear and confidence-inspiring; and the braking prowess of any vehicle is a top priority to me. The looks of the A6 are timeless. The interior is beautiful, with high quality materials. The seats are very comfortable, even for long-term driving. I know, because I'm a Chiropractor. The B&O system is wonderful. I'm an audiophile and love great sounding music. The one complaint about the B&O system is that it should have a drivers' focus option, like the S5. Overall, the best car I've owned. I plan to keep this car for at least 10 years. I love driving this car every day!
