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.

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

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.
Resale price drops significantly
