My Favorite Car
This is a great riding car that's just a pleasure to drive. I really hate to give it up, but it's time. It's only the four, but acceleration (from dead stop or from 45 to 75) is excellent. So is cruising at highway speeds (and higher). Zero vibration. Zero wobble of the steering. I've always felt in full control and the car has never felt as if it was straining. It's comfortable inside, but is a bit difficult for some people to exit because it sits fairly low to the ground. Even with the low stance, it has pulled through eight inches of snow with no problem (even with "all weather" performance tires). But make sure you can afford the maintenance if you buy. The routine, recommended maintenance can be expensive. For instance, just replacing one headlamp bulb was right at $300, and that was at a local garage, not the dealer. Overall, it's good enough that I'm about to buy another one.

2013 A6 Audio System Problems
I own a 2013 Audi A6 2.0T. The vehicle was defective from day 1. While I love the car overall, one big watch out is an issues with MMI equipped cars with their standard sound system that intermittently sends a very loud, starting boom noise. The sound will cut out for up to a minute and then play normally until the next time. It can happen infrequently or several times in a day. If you are considering purchasing this vehicle beware of this major, unresolved issue. I have heard that several other models have the same issue. Audi stalled on acknowledging the issue for about 6 months and still does not have a fix. It is believed to be software related.

This car has been owned for 6000 miles now. It has all of the features one could ask for, including an incredible sound system Bose 14 speaker system. The prestige model adds the S line exterior and really sets the front end apart from the other models. Gas consumption is a combined 25mpg. It can go from a comfort cruiser to a rocket with a few button pushs and a flick of the wrist to shift into sport mode. What is so incredible about this car is it seems like it is two cars in one when you make the adjustments from comfort to sport. Interior is top notch and so far squeak and rattles are non existent. The normal suspesion is pretty stiff on its own (which I like). Good control!
139,000 Audi A6 3.0T Quattro. Happy reporting
I bought an abused example. I had to sort out a few minor leaks, and basic maintenance for the years of neglect. However, in 2020 my 2012 Audi A6 3.0T still rivals many new cars. People think its nicer and more expensive then it is. I have driven it on a 3500 mile road trip and it gave me no problems. This car came with no service history, a check engine light and a leaky undercarriage. I sorted all this (DIY at home) and its a blast to own and drive. After 139,830 miles, the interior has held up, the car starts every time and drives like it did new. I believe if you know someone to help with the maintenance costs (independent mechanic) or if you don't mind turning wrenches, this car is great. Yes Toyota and Honda (which we own as our main family cars) are more reliable and cheaper to work on. There is not a single car that is the full package like this one. Safe for family, great for driving and I mean truly driving, amazing in snow and still gets compliments.

Audi A6 w/20" Sport Package classes them all
I've had my Audi A6 for 3 months now and there are no real disappointments. I love the rock solid feel of the car. The acceleration is impressive for such a large car. While the technology is impressive, Audi has a little ways to go with the AudiConnect feed - the Online services such as news, sports, etc. are too limited. I love the WiFi connectivity. The next generation should add much more content. The interior is extremely spacious and comfortable.
