It's been since October of 2016 and I'm still very much in love with my 2016 Audi A6 Supercharged Quattro Prestige. I became infatuated with the aesthetics, but the performance and well-appointed interior sold me. It was definitely a superior vehicle hands down, albeit pricier, worth most every penny. My initial criticism was that the interior plastic components are relatively delicate therefore I wouldn't recommend it for families with young children's wandering hands. My only criticisms so far would be that the transmission can be a little janky at times. In addition, I have had issues with the wear and tear of the tires plus some odd misshaping on the driver's seat. The "fuel rails" had to be replaced due to a recall. Make no mistake, this unassuming sedan is a rocket, particular in dynamic mode. It corners well even for being slightly nose heavy. Lastly, it's not so fuel thirsty despite its 333 hp supercharged V6. Nevertheless, I have to say, since acquiring the vehicle it hasn't lost much spunk. It's a winner hands down, however, I am highly anticipating the 2021 upgrades.

First thing my wife said as we were driving in a rain storm, WOW this car handles the bad weather great. It just does everything well and with ease, you will notice how well everything in the Audi's function when you get into another car. I am surprised at the gas mileage, 32 on a 25 mile commute to work every day on a mix of highway and 2 lane hilly roads. Acceleration is great, friends shocked when I floor it. My second Audi, will be more.... Almost 4 years later and still a great car. Had one issue with a leaking water pump which the dealer took care of and they also took care of me. Kudos to Audi Of South Austin

What a Car

This car handles like a sports car on the back roads. You would never know it is a mid sized car. I have a BMW Z and it is second fiddle to this car. Acceleration is quick and gas mileage is in low thirties driving 70 mph. What's not to like. Plenty of leg room in both front and back with a pretty good size trunk. The led headlamps are amazing. I have two other cars with HID, but no comparison. The car is just fun to drive and the driver assistance with lane tracking works great. It does tell you to put your hands on the steering wheel after about 15 seconds, but I just like checking it out. Before I purchased, I tried the E300 and the 535xi. The E300 was old fashioned, the acceleration was subpar and it did not feel as sharp in the handling. My wife was leaning towards the BMW 535XI until we drove the 3.0 A6. Then we drove them again and it was no contest. The BMW handling was nowhere as good as this A6. Loving it.

Another reliable Audi A6

Have loved this car almost like my first Audi in 2002, since then I hav enjoyed 6 Audis and this one the best. I use regular fuel and average 29 mph easily around town and higher on the highway. I have gone 66,000 miles and no issues other than 1)replacing a stone damaged front windshield. ( not cheap especially with all the sensors and cameras tied to the mirror assembly up front) and 2) replacing the oem euro made Goodyear tires that were noisy after 10k miles.I put Continentals on and have enjoyed 55k miles so far on them The ventilated heated and cooled seats are a great feature and for safety the headlights and heads up display are excellent. The brake pads start with 10/10th of surface and after 66K miles I still have 8/10th left ! Local dealer service has been excellent as well.

This A6 is one of the smoothest rides I have had. Great acceleration and command of the road. A joy to drive. Great road handling. Some quirky things with electronics. Remote entry system and navigation system both have had components replaced under warranty. Service has been exceptional. Navigation database is often off regarding ETA. Outside temperature readings are often higher than reported outside temps. Told by service rep that it is probably due to engine temp affecting reading.
