The performance/MPG sweet spot
My TDI is equipped with S-Line option package & optional 20" wheels with summer performance tires. It is both gorgeous (and menacing!) looking and incredibly fun to drive. For most people and most situations, the diesel **is** the high performance option, effortlessly building speed and dispatching almost all tasks without feeling like it's even trying. In normal, sedate driving, the tach doesn't exceed 2,000 RPMs, yet it hits its maximum torque output within this range, which is the secret to the extraordinary fuel efficiency/performance combination. And if you want to do spirited driving, it is happy to oblige, and it sounds happy to rev. Most folks would never know it's a diesel. **Update as of 10/16: Still loving my A6 TDI. I have put may miles on loaner Audis with the 3.0T and 2.0T engines. In each case, I could not wait to get back behind the wheel of my TDI. My lifetime average fuel economy is over 32 MPG--for a 4,300 pound car with all-wheel drive that can hurdle to 60 mph in about 5 1/2 seconds! The TDI emissions scandal may make these exceptional buys on the pre-owned market. I'm still awaiting the final manufacturer's fix, which for the 3.0L engine will likely be a software update, since this engine has the urea based exhaust treatment system. I anxiously await what I hope will be the eventual return of diesel models to the U.S. market.** **Update as of 10/24/17: still no emissions fix, but the car now has more than 106,000 miles, and it runs beautifully, still exceeding EPA fuel economy figures if I drive anywhere close to the speed limit. The price premium for the diesel engine paid for itself in fuel savings more than 50,000 miles ago. As of this week where I live in Illinois, diesel is $2.35 per gallon, while premium unleaded (which is what the gasoline counterpart calls for) is $2.99.

2.0 Quattro plenty of power.
This is my 3rd A6. I had a 2008 3.2 and then a 2011 3.0. This time I had to decide whether to spend the extra money to stay with the 3.0 engine or drop down to the 2.0. After test driving the 2.0 on local roads and the interstate highway I determined that it had plenty of power for my driving style. My commute to work is only 10 minutes each day and my highway driving is pretty much limited to visiting my kids at college. Power accelerating onto the highway was great and going up hills locally was fine. Transmission shifts very smoothly. I saved a lot of money dropping down to the 2.0 while maintaining all the other great Audi features that I had in my prior two A6s.

2014 Audi 3.0 Quattro Premium Plus
Comfortable & beautiful luxurious interior. Fit & finish in & out excellent. All buttons & switches have a Quality feel.Loaded with options .Excellent ride that is adjustable.I have the handling option with 19" all season tires. The 20" wheel option probably gives a rougher ride. Very supple ride with sport sedan feel & comfort.Steering & engine & shift styles also adjustable. Transmission (8 speed) shifts very smoothly.Very pleasant ride at high speeds & solid road feel. You can be going 85 - 90 MPH & not feel the speed. Very comfortable adjustable seats.Lately, have brake vibration at 60 mph +. Dealer service fees pricey . Sunroof switch stopped working. Dealer replacement cost $358 !!! Replaced brake pads & rotors to fix brake vibration & excessive dust at 40000 miles. Battery needed replacement at app 5 years . Dealer computer reprograming required for new battery at ridiculous $150 !

Perfect car
A perfect cross between comfort ride and quick, responsive acceleration. Subtleties in cabin design give a sense of an expansive cockpit with the right amount of leather and wood trim to give a luxurious feel but still got the aluminum accent for its sporty side. Got mine with Prestige package, LED lights, and cold weather package for $57,200.
TDI!
Have had my A6 TDI Prestige with 19" Sport Package for 2 months and 2,400+ miles now, and it has met or exceeded all expectations. Having come from a 2010 3.0T A6, the TDI feels just as powerful as the 3.0T (albeit rated about 60HP less), but then again it's all about the torque with this car (428 lb ft). The MPG (easily averaging 30mpg+ in mixed driving, and close to 40 on long highway runs) and the range (averaging close to 600 miles/tank) are incredible for a car of this size and power. Love all the tech in this compared to my prior A6, and the car just looks great in Daytona Gray w/ all black interior, 19" sport pkg and full LED headlights to top it all off.
Best in class
Phenomenal mid-size luxury car! All of the benefits of the old, large V8 engines that used to be in the luxury cars, without any drawbacks. Not only do I get smooth power basically anywhere in the powerband, but I get exceptional fuel economy if I am cruising on the highway. The supercharger allows for the immediacy in power, which is essential for drama-free passing on the highway, and it also allows for quiet, efficient cruising. With a light foot, I have had the car exceed 38 mpg, with normal highway cruising returning ~30 mpg. I mean seriously, it feels like a crime having both power and efficiency. Everything else is as expected: quiet, comfortable cabin with class-leading technology, layout and materials used. The screen is beautiful, with NVIDIA graphics allowing for beautiful map rendering, the Bose sound system is rich, and the MMI is fantastic once you get used to it. I am techy so it took me about 1 day to learn the system while driving around, but I feel as though almost everything makes sense in terms of layout and ergonomics. The ride is not as supple as some of ultra-luxury cars with air-suspension, but those cars are no fun to drive. This is the perfect compromise. I bought the car used with ~5k miles on the odometer, which not only took a few thousand off the price, but more importantly gave me the piece of mind of a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty! My only question is how much less power does the 2.0T have? Because for day-to-day commuting, you don't even get into the power in this car. Yes, it's nice to have the power to pass 98% of cars I see on the highway, but at the same time, 90% of my driving is done with efficiency in mind.

LOVE TURNED TO BROKEN HEART
For 48 months this car was exquisite. Since it is off of warranty we have had a report of a leaking motor mount then when it was 109 degrees outside it quit running in the middle of six lanes of traffic. Put the hood up and escorted my 70 year old wife, beautiful but still 70, along with our 8 year old great granddaughter to a shady tree next to where the A6 quit. For over a month my beautiful A6 has been sitting in Audi of Temecula waiting for a fuel pump. Almost $4,000 in repairs needed for a car I can't even drive since there are no parts in the US and will not be until 8-8. My love has cooled; six months I researched before purchasing this A6 Quattro, $72,000 that I thought was a 10 year investment, now I'm forced to decide whether to keep it or just cut my losses and sell it.

Miles of Smiles
The TDI is awesome. It has great mileage, wonderful handling and is very easy to drive. I drove from northern Michigan to Des Moines IA and back in 36 hours earlier this week. 1290+ miles and I filled up two times and had 410 miles left when I got home. Even better, I didn't feel like ground beef after that much time in the car. Still the one, three years later. This car has been great. 5 years later and still piling on the miles. Great car! Like it so much I picked up a gas one for my wife. Perfect for an around town car. Great on trips too, but nothing matches the deisel.

Fabulous Audi A-6 TDI
Diesel emissions issues have been fixed satisfactorily, with no noticeable decline in performance or mileage. Interior and exterior reflect high quality and look and feel almost like new after 75000 miles! Great for long distance travel. Prior to this vehicle, I never kept a car for more than 5 years. This car, however, has been completely trouble free and looks and feels very much like it did when new. Although I would love to have a new car, I cannot bring myself to sell the 2014 A-6 TDI. It is simply too good, and the difference between it and a 2019 A-6 is insignificant. In addition, there are no more new Audi diesel vehicles available in the US.

Brakes
i lease a 2014 Audi a6. the car sits in my heated garage from December to April. i leased the car in May and during the first winter the brake pads froze to the rotors. When i tried to move the car in the Spring i had to gun the motor to brake them loose. the audi dealership said the only solution was to replace the rotors and i only had 13,000 miles. i had the rotors turned at a local shop and this lasted for 4 months before the rotors were again corroded. At this point i no choice but to replace the rotors and Audi was no help. they said it was normal wear and tear. The dealership was very helpful in covering some of the costs but Audi covered nothing. Thin twice about a new Audi

Simply Superb Mid-Sized Luxury Sedan
The A6 TDI is simply a superb blend of luxury, performance and efficiency. I have just over 2,000 miles on this car and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The build quality and fit and finish are outstanding. This car has that machined from a single billet solidity that is only in the best German sedans. It is both an effortless highway cruiser and despite its size a tight back road caver. The technology package is easy to use and fairly intuitive however to get the most out of it a careful read of the MMI manual is a must. The diesel engine in a word is awesome! Yes there is a modest typical chatter at idle but once underway its smooth quiet and pulls like a freight train!
Pretty great car
Had this car two years, literally no issues at all except for the tires, two tires at 10,000 and 12,000 had the same issue, inside wall failure supposedly due to road hazard, one front and one rear. I have 14,000 miles on this car. Taken two long road trips, from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon, and Los Angeles to Phoenix. It is fantastic road car, averaged 27.4 MPG. I love the side assist feature, works flawlessly. The Bose sound system is fantastic. The other great feature is the ability to change handling, 4 different settings, love this feature. It's extremely comfortable to drive, easily feel the road through the steering wheel. The navigation takes a bit getting used to as it totally voice controlled, sometimes it takes 2-3 commands for the system to get the address correctly. Overall navigation is quite easy to use. The controls are easy to find and use without distracting attention from the road. The amount of features takes a while to become used to and familiar in using. I chose the 2.0 engine on purpose, has a lot of torque, and the turbo is immediate in response. And in Los Angeles you'll never use all the power of the 3.0 engine anyway, unless you drive after midnight. I'm quite surprised at the quality and reliability of this car, I was expecting some issues, but not one so far, except for the tires. After almost three years I've yet to have a mechanical, electrical, quality issue of any type. Used it on numerous road trips and handles beautifully, I'm quite pleased with the MPG. This car handles and feels as good as the day I purchased it. Overall, I expected some issues over time, but so far, not one.

Incessant Brake Squealing
I have admired Audi's light and interior design for sometime. In May of 2014, I made the move from an MB to a '14 A6 TDI Prestige. I absolutely love the look of the car especially with the LED's and black out package. The power is great and fuel economy is nothing short of impressive. My biggest complaint is the horribly incessant brake squeal. At 9200 miles I have already had the car in 3 times for this repair. First it was brake dust and I need to slam on the ABS to clear it. Seriously on $65k "German Engineered" car? The next time it was we scored the pads and added no squeal. When I dropped it off this time I said I don't want it back until it's fixed.
End of story:
2019 Update: I intended to purchase a new Audi in 2019 to replace this vehicle. However, the (attempted) purchase experience with our local AUDI dealer was so disappointing I decided to pass on another AUDI and traded the A6 in for a new 2019 Lexus. So far, a good decision. Original 2014 Comments: Great technology when everything works which is not always the case. This vehicle has every electronic and convenience option available in 014. The brakes have an annoying, very aggravating and obvious chatter or shutter when applied at speeds above 35 mph since 3000 from delivery. Complaints to the dealer resulted in a polite explanation that the brakes are safe and I just have to live with the shuttering as they are not able to cure it under the factory or extended warranty I purchased with the car. For a chance to rid the car of this birth defect they say I will have to pay for replacement rotors and pads. Aside from the inconvenience of taking it in between scheduled maintenance visits I am otherwise ok with the A6 although several non life threatening electronic system failures were cured each time by the dealer's service department under warranty. UNFORTUNATELY because the brake chattering issue tarnishes the driving experience every time I get behind the wheel and dealers unwillingness or inability to cure it under the warranty, I would not purchase another car from this manufacturer. While I own it I will keep asking them to address the brake issue each time I have it serviced. Maybe someday they will have a change of heart then perhaps, so will I. 2016 Update: Audi dealer finally repaired the brake stutter/wobble at 32000 mi under warranty, however, it has taken a very long time (2.5yrs) for AUDI to acknowledge that there was an issue from day one and finally correct the problem. I had to drive the car for over two years with a very annoying brake shutter

115 K and going strong !
I have 115 k and seven years of ownership of this wonderful vehicle. It is the best car I have ever owned and probably will ever own. I continue to get 700 miles per tank of diesel and average 34 mpg. Yes it was part of dieselgate years ago but Audi made good on it. They gave me 6000.00, remapped my engine to pass NJ inspection and extended my warranty. I take good care of it and it takes good care of me. Great looking, super fast, depen

Great car
Solid performer - not overwhelmingly "fast", but plenty quick, gobs of low end torque, 40MPG highway in an executive sedan. Tachometer reads 2,000 RPM at 90 MPH, so motor is not working hard at normal highway speeds.

Best car i've ever owned.
I absolutely love this car. I recently upgraded from an Avalon. There is no comparison. The diesel engine provides tons of power and I still get 30+ mpg despite my aggressive driving style. Every button for every function is easily within reach and does not distract from the great driving experience.
Beautiful body, tough on tires,
Owned my 2014 A6 TDI Premium+ for 18 months and have driven it 30,000 miles. Pros: THE best looking styling of all European/Japanese/American mid-size luxury sedans, hands down. Love the TDI diesel--44+mpg combined, quicker than a bullet, quiet engine (see the one major con on this engine below). Road handling is superb and this car is a blast to drive on a curvy highway. Cons--On the other hand...not the most comfy to drive on long trips and I have taken this car cross country. I get it's a sports sedan but after a while the lack of expected comfort starts to wear on you (esp. on a $60,000+ car). Tires--I have 30,000 miles on them, I don't drive hard, but the dealer told me I have about 10,000 miles left on them. What? 40,000 miles on a set of Dunlops? Biggest beef--as the tread wears down the noise these tires make is unbearably loud. Last issue-- Audi sends me a letter letting me know my TDI diesel engine was engineered to run on UP TO 5% biodiesel. Unfortunately I live in a state that mandates the sale of 20% biodiesel in the warmer months. Nice. Wish my dealer would have mentioned that to me when I bought the car. Audi goes on to state in the letter to me that in any event, they WILL honor any warranty issues arising out of the use of this biodiesel. As one who usually "buys them and drives them forever", I don't think I want to own this car after the warranty expires. I love this car but doubtful I will buy another diesel engine as long as I live in this state. I realize this is not Audi's problem but hopefully they are working on this biodiesel issue.

Love this car!
I've never purchased a pre-owned vehicle before but decided to do it to purchase this car. I absolutely love it. I was driving a Toyota Avalon Limited, which is a very nice vehicle, but it doesn't drive and handle anything close to the Audi. The technology interface of the Audi is very intuitive and I had it down pretty quickly. This is a sweet ride and so far I am very pleased with it. I am happy with the deal I got (about half what a new Audi A6 would have cost), although it needed new tires.

Great ride, great interior, efficient
Diesel with very good mileage. Powerful, fun to drive, and amazing in the snow. Delightful cabin to ride in. Only draw backs are auto start-stop that causes stalls sometimes, hesitancy to deliver power when accelerating from idle or low speed if not in sport mode, and very odd throttle control when trying to maintain stable, low speed in town - creates a jerking sensation that is very annoying. However, for interstate cruising, this car is perfect. If you commute on the expressway, this is a great car. For in town driving, not so much.
Sweet A6
Poor service from dealer. Luckily the A6 is a reliable car.

2014 Audi A6 - After 6 months
I bought a new A6 Prestige 3.0 in May 2014. Cold weather package, LED, 19" sport package...etc. After owning the car for 6 months, I can say that it is comfortable, quiet, and delivers enough power with the twin turbo engine but this car is not a "sport sedan". It has a tendency to understeer and the dynamic driving mode doesn't seem to help with suspension stiffness. The power comes in around 3K RPM when the turbo come on. Car interior: I'd give it a B based on the fact that it has 4 zone climate control, ventilated seats, quiet cabin, shades... but these are all options you have to pay for. Door trim needs leather instead of plastic. MMI system is a fail.
Love my car!!
