Simply Superb Mid-Sized Luxury Sedan

2014 Audi A6 TDI Premium Plus quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)

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!

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

2014 Audi A6 TDI Prestige quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)

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.

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
