We purchased our 2016 3.0T prem plus A6 in June, 2016. A month later, the in dash screen went dark and only would powered up again after turning the car off and restarting after 15 minutes. This happened again every 5-6 months. Dealers said they could not replicate the issue. In March 2018, the car stalled on a busy highway, completely locked up and luckily we were not harmed. The steven creek dealership kept it for 3 days and said they could not replicate the problem. I turned off the auto start system, the transmission started to lurch and engine speed can rumble at low speed as if it might stall again intermittently. Given that our 2008 A4, 2011 A6, 2011 Q5 were burning 1 qt of oil every 5000miles was somehow we were told that this was 'normal,' and the eventual diesel gate (the former VW CEO has been charged with defrauding VW customers and the US), we have decided to get rid of this Audi A6 and leave the VW/Audi brand altogether because we value our lives.

I bought this Audi after extensive research and driving A4's as rentals. I had a poor impression of Audi in the past. When I drove the first one I was surprised how fast I found myself driving without even noticing, no noise, no fuss, just effortless acceleration. (previous car had 370 hp). Audi is a car you discover slowly. And the more you drive it, the more you enjoy it. I would start with complaints first: at this level, the car is missing some basic equipment found on much cheaper vehicles: rear cross traffic alert, Apple/Android Car Play. I think the windshield chips a bit too easy and so is the paint. The Bose sound system is good but not outstanding. My previous Genesis had a better sound(Lexicon). The electronics are somewhat fussy and distracting. But when it comes to driving pleasure and performance, this car is outstanding, it moves so fast with such ease, it's quiet, planted on the road like it is on rails. It has an intrinsic elegance and a remarkable presence. Update: almost a year later, I keep enjoying this car more and more. Long trips are a breeze. Passing other vehicles or merging on highway is super easy and fun. No malfunction. Bose sounds better after some adjustments. Audi added another year of free internet access. Comfort and quietness are excellent. Complaints: the screen that comes out of the dash is a gimmick, I worry the mechanism will brake in the future. Also the kill engine at stops is very annoying, this is what one of my first cars used to do, only it won't start when pressing the gas pedal. Brings back stressful memories :-).

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.
