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.

I considered and drove the usual suspects in this class. While the A6 rise to my top spot among the German imports, I found the design and features to be a bit dated. Probably about two years behind the Swedish and other imports.

I wish i had known beforehand. Would never have gotten this car. The radio goes on automatically EVERY time you get in the car. Turn it off and it comes back on twenty seconds or so later once the MMI is fully operational. It does not matter if the radio was on or off when the car was last driven. Does this EVERY time you get in the car. You have to turn the radio off TWICE. Unbelievably annoying. Audi, both dealer level and corporate, states this is what the car is designed to do x#&!*!!. Would never have gotten the car had I known so writing review to warn others. The radio situation is completely annoying and soured appreciation for the car. Not helped by the fact it has had buzzes and rattles since nearly new, brakes squeal loudly even after repeated trips to the service department, steering feel and feedback very artificial, voice activation all but useless, automatic cruise control cuts out frequently for no apparent reason (i.e. bad weather conditions). Very, very dissatisfied with this car.
