I bought this after owning a 2014 A6, 4cyl. Premium plus. Not even in the same neighborhood this car versus my last. The styling is considerably nicer, S-line trim, red stitching on seat and steering wheel, red rotors. Yes it’s a sedan but it looks very different from a standard A6. I’ve had this car about 1 1/2 years, just 10k miles. Most miles on road trips, no snow. I’m in California. This is a great car for road trips, quiet, smooth, but the speed is there if you want it. Ok, not supposed to tell you this, took a road trip from LA to Phoenix last year, it’s will cruise quite nicely at 144mph, and gets there quite fast. The navigation is easy to use and works well. The heads up display is a nice touch at high speed driving, and shows destination navigation, doesn’t impede vision at all. And I got a combined 29.4 mpg to and from LA to Phoenix, at higher then posted speeds. And yes I was alone on a very long desolate stretch of road. It’s grips the road as though it’s glued to it. It’s exceedingly comfortable even on dynamic setting. Very minimal interior noise. Sound system is great, not exceptional. Plenty of room for four people to be comfortable. I haven’t had one issue, except it burned a quart of oil in the first 5k, and there’s no damn dipstick in the car. It’s on the MMI system. Other then that it’s been impeccable. If your looking for a car that’s well appointed, comfortable, exceptional options, fun to drive, in a used car and one becomes available I’d certainly consider this car. I plan on keeping this car at least another three years. Neither my last A6 or this one have had any mechanical issues at all. And no I don’t work for Audi I’m retired. It’s been three years, the car is the same as the day I bought it, zero mechanical issues. Not much to add except I still enjoy this car today as the day I bought it. I’ve looked at a new Audi A6, but not as impressed as much as this one. I’m religious with the servicing and take exception care of the interior and exterior. Four years in owning this car just hit 20k, obviously I don’t drive a great deal. The car has been serviced when required and all necessary servicing done each time. So far no issues at all, still rides great, all systems work as when it was purchased. I haven’t cared for the new models of the A-6, and the electric ones are quite steep in price. I plan on keeping this car until something goes wrong or I find a car I like as much as this one. The paint and interior are as nice as the day I bought it. It’s hard to beat this vehicle for the options, size, comfort, speed, and durability.

rear view camera (360) is soft low pixels with no adjustments. Stretched to fit a wider screen without the needed DPI. Cant make out a rear wall in low light. Very disappointed for a luxury auto to chintz on such a important safety feature.

Warning... once you have one Audi, nothing else measures up. Mine is the 2014 prestige A-6 diesel. Yes I had to have the fix for diesel, but the company treated me great. I get about 40 on the highway and 27 in town. This is my 2nd A-6... the other was gas. So fun to drive. Every wants me to drive. I love the comfort. Its funny, when I run into other Audi drivers, we all seem to smile and feel we discovered a great secret. I will never have anything but an Audi!

I looked at a lot of options, including the new redesigned E Class. This had all the options I wanted, comfortable ride, but sporty feel. Great daily driver, great road trip car. Whisper quiet inside. Only feature I would like is remote start, but alas, Audi doesn't support that in any of its lineup. Was a reasonable tradeoff for all the other features and benefits of this car. Outstanding!

2017 A6

I have only had this car for a month but am still in love with it. The interior cabin is loaded and rides extremely smooth. The initial acceleration is a little sputtery but I believe it is due the emission auto off feature that comes standard. MMI system is easy and simple to use and I love the heads up display options and how easily you can change them.
