Used 2016 Audi A6 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Beautiful Car!
I bought my 2016 Audi A6 Prestige with 12000 miles as an Audi Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. The warranty is great and the original owner purchased the select care package (good for 4 years maintenance) which carried over to me! The car is one sweet ride! It looks fantastic, is sleek, quick, and loaded with tech sure to please the tech-savvy driver. I'm very pleased with my deal and can't say enough about the customer experience at the Greenville, SC Audi dealership. I highly recommend this vehicle...it's a blast to drive!

What you really need to know before you buy
I have two major issues with the A6. First is the extremely annoying stop-start of the engine each time you stop the car for a traffic light, stop sign, heavy traffic, etc. You can turn off the feature if you remember to do so each time you get into the car, but you will often forget. Even with the feature turned off you can "feel" the engine thinking of turning off. I absolutely hate this feature and will not buy another vehicle with it. The second issue relates to the very low feature of the tires. There are only a few inches between the road and rim. I've had two blow outs because of the narrow space between road and rim. One blowout was from hitting a curb and another from a pot hole. Both situations would not have happened with regular height tires. At about $300 a replacement, this is a very expensive problem.

Brake problems at 18000 miles requiring rotors etc
The internet search will reveal continuing, long-term problems with the brakes, requiring rotors to be replaced, after 10k miles. Read it! My used car from high end dealer had probs and they told me that I had actually ridden the brakes so hard in my 1500 miles put on that they were actually cut thru. I am 70 and drove only to the store and once to Sedona, AZ Service Mgr said that would have done it!!!! Crooks. Still, the brake system is highly flawed.

Awesome Audi
Great car! Love the feel behind the wheel and it's a lot of fun to drive. Only downside is cost of ownership. Can only get about 30,000 miles out of a set of tires and I am not an aggressive driver.

2016 A6 2.0L Quattro Premium Plus
Update 4/13/21 - 52,500 miles. Had a leaky coolant expansion tank hose where nylon was split at a connector where it connects to another coolant assembly on top of the engine. The entire piece with an attached formed hose cost $14.50 and replaced it myself. Fit and finish and its quiet cabin continue to impress. Getting an itch to get a 2014-2016 Mercedes E350 4Matic sport. Purchased it in Sep 2019 with 46K miles from its original owner. After owning a 2013 A4 for 5 months, due to cramped interior of A4, moved to this A6. It has the base 18" wheels. I have read that 19" and 20" wheels make the ride harder. With these 18" 45 profile tires, I feel the ride is where it needs to be. It is quiet and moves well with its 2.0L 4 cylinder engine. Its MPG drops during cold months driving more than you would expect. No complaint so far.
