2019 A6 is fun to drive: 1 year update
I wanted to update the review of my 2019 A6 premium plus with the 3.0L engine, sports suspension and adaptive cruise technology. The car remains the most fun to drive vehicle I’ve ever owned. The new MMI that appeared radical a year ago is now so familiar. I love the ability to toggle and change info on the screens. I couldn’t imagine going back to the old push knob that seems archaic without a touch screen. Engine acceleration in sports mode is phenomenal. Maybe a bit of lag in automatic mode at low rev but not a big issue for me. Handling is superb and the cabin is very quiet, except for an annoying rattle from the rear sun shades that I would not order again. With snow conditions, the car handled beautifully even with streets that were not plowed well. FYI, my Pirelli P Zero tires performed well but only gave me 18K miles.

Luxury and Balance
I am a long term AUDI owner of multiple vehicles and traded in a 2018 A5 Sportback for a new, Prestige Edition of the 2019 A6. I can honestly say that I am now the lap of true luxury. I had been prior A6 owner 5 yrs. ago and this new car, totally redesigned, is not only more beautiful and striking on the outside, but gorgeous in regards to it's interior and fit and finish. The new technology in which haptic touch screens replace that of Audi's wheel selector takes some time to get used to but if you read the manual, one is able to set up to 7 personal profiles for driving and set a host of innumerable variables to one's liking. This and the use of voice control lessens the need while driving to actually have to touch the screen. I am an Apple IPhone owner and love the Audi Apple car Play interface. I'd highly recommend use of this and one become familiar with the voice commands for Siri. I can receive and send text messages without ever taking my eyes off the road and the voice recognition to text of Apple Car Play is flawless. The Prestige edition had dual pane glass and makes one isolated from the outside such they can truly enjoy the ride and sound system. The car is much more absorptive of bumps and rough road than the A5 Sportback and for one with long drives on an interstate highway to work, it is as if you stepped up from economy to first class, especially if you purchased the individual contour seat package with massaging seats. The car when asked can do 0-60 in 5 seconds but most of the time I only push it to merge on the freeway. When in cruise control ay 70 mph, I am finding that with the mild hybird system, and not driving like a jerk....I can get near 37 miles per gallon on my daily commute of near 70 miles total. Of note, very few persons are buying sedans now in favor of SUVs. Audi is discounting the 2019 heavily and transaction prices are well below invoice making this car a steal deal while demand is low, supplies are high and here come the 2020s to dealers in the fall!

Sweet ride
I traded my 2016 A6 premium plus 2.0 engine for the 2019 A6 premium plus 3.0 engine. After having had an E class Benz and 5 series BMW I have to say this is the finest car I have owned. Responsive, elegant, comfortable, and simply a fine ride.

Turned to lemon in 3 years / 28K miles
I bought my 2019 Audi A6 3 years ago. First two years were great as I loved the car, comfort, style, performance, features. However, the past 12 months have been a nightmare with multiple electrical and mechanical issues. My car is currently at the dealer with a "generator" issue. The parts to repair are on back order from Audi with no ETA. The dealer won't give me a loaner since they don't know when they may get it back. I have been without transportation for 2+ weeks now with no hope of getting my car back. Opened a case with Audi USA, requested a rental car. No help or support from Audi USA or the Dealer as they keep pointing to each other for help. Very frustrating!

Lots of fun to drive, electronics not reliable!!
I'm a former Audi Q7 owner, 2008 and 2013 Prestige and now A6 2.0 AWD. Traded my 2015 MB E350 Sport for the A6 and what a difference! 1- The A6 is a much more luxurious ride than the MB E350. The E350 is lower to the ground and for anyone over 40 with back pain it sucked to get in and get out. By contrast the A6 is a few inches higher, has wider doors and it is much easier to get in and get out if it without having to feel your getting into a bath tub with a roof on top. You don't have to bend your knees and hunch to get in. 2- I have 19" tires, ride quality is excellent for me, both city and highway driving is super smooth, I love to corner with this car, and you can turn with laser sharp precision without squealing the tires. For other reviewers complaining about the ride quality, you have to take into acct the rim size and what was their prior car. I would suggest to test drive both the stock 19" wheels and the 20" option and see which one you like. I also agree with other reviewers at first, the ride quality and the firm seats may take you aback some, but that feeling will go away in 3 days exactly :-) 3- Acceleration is fast from a dead stop in dynamic mode, however there is a turbo lag in normal day to day driving in auto, when you need to make a quick left turn for example (again 2.0 engine here). 4- Reliability, the A6 has never got me stranded in 18 month of driving it, however the electronics are very dodgy sometimes. I have been to the shop at least 7 times for electronics! I think 3 recall visits for 3 different issues, 4 visits for safety systems malfunction where the dash tells you to go to service. For example, high beam assist malfunction, brake assist malfunction, rear camera malfunction with all the other sensors. Sometimes the MMI goes totally dark on starting the car with no error codes for the dealer to trouble shoot. Overall, its a nice toy for grownups, as long as its under factory warranty! Out of warranty it would be very dicey for the 2019 year model. Not sure if newer models would fair any better, knowing Audi well, the same bugs of my old 2008 Q7 were encountered in the 2013 AQ7 even thought it was a totally different generation. Hopefully, I have presented you with some value, very nice car overall.
