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.

Great car, smooth and quiet, plenty of power but good mileage. Zero mechanical problems so far. Electronics take some getting used to but once mastered with some practice, a pleasure to use.

Test driving Audi A6s was everything I had aspired to and more. That's why I waited until I retired for my A6, and enjoy driving without time schedules. Keeping my hands on the wheel and enjoy the ride.

Just bought 2017 quattro a6. The car is very different from toyotas that i have been driving. Much firmer and tighter. It handles well and is somewhat fast when really pushed. Its little noisy in the cabin

I have own this car for two years now. Purchased used one with 20k miles with Premier only package plus Season of Audi package which give me some extra like navigation system. I do all my maintenance myself. For those two years except regular oil change (I do every 5k miles, regardless what Audi recommends and I feel better that way) I did add a little of coolant. I didn't see any leaks but was slightly lower so I just added. I do buy my maintenance supplies and parts in FCP Euro on line so I'm sure I got quality stuff. Only modification I did to car was to change program to have stop-start engine bypassed turned "active" as default so car will not turn off on idle. Read on reviews that trunk space is below average? for me is perfect, just big enough. Simply is a perfect family car with strong enough 2 litter turbo engine. I will update this review if something changes.
