A great driving car. Handles well, great pick-up. For those of you who are technologically challenged, there is a lot to learn about many of the features of the car. We now have driven the car for about a year and are still bewildered by the technology offered by the vehicle. Nevertheless, it continues to be a wonderful car to drive. Have not much to report other than the car continues to perform admirably. Have figured out Cruise Control and bluetooth for phone and music, but navigation is still above my head. I purchased the service plan from the dealer (regular service paid for in advance to a designated amount of miles) and the extended warranty at the time of purchase (to 100,000 miles or 8? years. Have not needed more than regular service although I did need a new set of tires due to the lousy roads here in the Northeast US. Have now owned the car since 2016 (it is July 2021 as I write this note) and the car continues to have all of the excellent driving features described previously. No issues to report At about 86,000 miless the car began to burn oil. According to the dealer, it was a PCV value that went fautly. They have agreed to replace it free of charge.

All that was said before remains the same. Have had a bit more trouble with car losing or burning oil-about a quart between changes. Have had consumption testing done at dealership with little explanation except that the car may burn a quart between changes. I really think they recommend too thin a synthetic oil, but that drives up the mileage. Haven't tried a thicker oil yet and likely will wait until summer to do so. I bought a 2018 Volvo XC60 for my wife. She likes the ride, comfort and handling of the A6 so much better, she insisted that I trade cars with her. After almost 49 years of marriage, what does one say. I'm okay with the Volvo, but likely will trade in the next year or two for an Audi/Porsche/VW product. This car is fun to drive, quiet, comfortable, powerful but great on gas. The only gripe is oil consumption because no new car should burn oil between changes.

The best luxury sedan

If you are looking for a sports sedan, than this is it. I have test driven all the German sedans (mid size) and the CTs, and this is by far the best. Fit and finish is exemplary. Ride is excellent and the transmission some how knows what you are thinking. I can go on and on, but really, if you are looking to purchase or lease one, you will not be sorry. Update after 41k miles....still zero issues and drives fantastic. Tires are showing their age but I think I should get another 8 or 9 k miles out of them. Brakes are little soft now but still no issues. Completely satisfied with the car. Update at 59,658 miles. Put new tires around 10k miles ago. Had to replace brake pads all around, still factory rotors. Returning car back after 36 months. Zero mechanical issues. Will be picking up newer A6 soon.

This car is the best car I have ever owned. Great everything. One tiny tiny irksome feature - the stop-start feature is enabled when you start the car and you have to turn it off every time. I do not care for it because sometimes it is a hard stop/stop jerk.

At 73,000 miles oil consumption shot up to 1 qt in 440 miles. Audi dealer no help, service advisor advised getting rid of the car as soon as possible. Any repairs would be very expensive and may not fix the problem. This is outrageous for an expensive, premium car. Also a shame because it still runs great, everything works and it looks good. I no longer own this car. Too bad. Update: now have 67,300 miles. At next service I will have inoperative driver’s seat heater and random-opening gas filler door fixed. Also, oil consumption has gotten bad, 1 quart every 1,000 to 1,500 miles. Dealer says Audi considers up to 1-quart/1,000 miles to be acceptable. Never had a modern car use oil like this. No apparent leaks, no smoking exhaust, so a mystery. Dealer says may be faulty PCV valve but replacement is $1,500 and no guarantee that would fix the problem. Bummer. Otherwise car performs well and feels solid as new. Appearance holding up well too. Update: just had 60,000 mile major service (about $1,000) — just routine expendable parts replacement. Original brakes still good. Everything still works as new, car looks great in and out. Now I like this Audi very much and intend to keep it a long time. Update: after 55K miles, no new problems and the car has been dead reliable. Normal maintenance and a set of tires have been the only expenses. Quality of materials is evident, as it still looks fresh and shows very little wear. Somewhat surprised at oil consumption, 1 quart every 8-9 K miles, but still within specs and the engine is an excellent performer. Car is holding up nicely. Update: car has proven reliable after 40k miles, everything still works and it has maintained its original performance and comfort. It still has the electronic peculiarities I dislike, but overall I’ve warmed up to this Audi. Several problems occurred upon delivery, like need to replace warped brake rotors, rep air vacuum leak, and splitting paint and rust along welded seam on roof. Also, problem with radio turning on by itself several times each time car is started - dealer cannot fix. Seats not very comfortable on long drives, despite being very adjustable. Brake feel is mushy and uncertain. Engine performance is excellent (3.0 L). Now there is a rattle somewhere in the underside that is annoying. I traded a 2008 A6 for this car, and although the ride and safety features have improved, I prefer the old one. Update: car has been reliable and performs well. However, the OE tires (Goodyears) started making noise at about 20k miles and needed to be replaced at 36k. And the over-abundance of electronic “features” is still annoying.
