I’m trying to love my A6
Have had my Audi A6 for 10 months. I’ve only put 2500 km on it. First disappointment is the number of recall notices I have received. Driving the car was fun except for the clunking noises from the rear end which turned out to be the rear jounce bumpers, yes on vehicle that had only 2200 km on it at the time. Now after a completed recall on the fuel tank vent, I did not have accurate fuel readings. So back into the shop, turns out it needs a new fuel tank which is going to take 3 weeks to get here (I hope). I’m at a crossroads with this vehicle. I have very little confidence in its reliability and am seriously considering trading it in for something other than an Audi. This would be sad as I really liked the car.

Okay but the dual touchscreens are a step backward
The biggest positives are that the car is very quiet and rides well with comfortable front seats as expected in a luxury car. It is a smooth and relaxing drive. The styling is also classy. I think Audi really missed in moving to dual touchscreens and moving things like heated seat controls and temperature controls to the screens. Compared to my A5 or previous Audis, the interior is a step backwards. I say that because the dual touchscreen is inferior to the button and dial controls Audi used to use in both feel and function. The touchscreens get unsightly quickly with all the finger prints and the feeling of the haptic feedback on the touchscreens pales in comparison to the satisfying clicks of actual buttons and knobs. You also have to take your eyes off the road to do simple things like adjust temperature or put on a heated seat that you easily could do by feel with a temperature knob or hard button. I think Audi also uses too much gloss black and shiny silver trim in high touch places. Combine that with the dual touchscreens and the car looks dirty really easily. The wood trim is really nice as is the stitching though there is a surprising amount of hard plastic. For instance on the seatback. Trunk space is fine. It isn’t that tall of a trunk but is deep and well-shaped. Cubic foot wise it is smaller than some competitors but real world it is fine. I do really like the 360 parking cameras and the Audi virtual cockpit is really good. Real leg room is good in the outboard positions but the hump is big and the middle seat isn’t great because of that. You really wouldn’t want to try to cram three adults back there because of that. Something like a Lexus ES (or even an Accord!) has a more usable back seat for three. The powertrain is a mixed bag. Turbo lag isn’t too bad (though noticeable sometimes) and the midrange torque is good. The transmission is top notch. In cruising the engine is quiet but rev it and the four sounds like it could be out of a Corolla or Jetta. Not very luxurious or smooth sounding. Our 2022 Acura MDX cost about the same amount and the 6 in it feels and sounds much nicer. Same with previous cars with 6 cylinder engines. The handling of the car is solid though it really isn’t a car that encourages you to want to tear around corners. Frankly either our 2018 A5 or the MDX feels more fun and eager and encourages more throwing them into corners. The A6 can do that but clearly is a car best for cruising. Maybe the 6 would really change the feel.

A6 V6 Clunking While Stopping
I have a 2020 A6 V6 with 600 miles. When it comes to a stop, about 60% of the time it makes a loud clunking noise. Dealer says it’s the clutch and it’s normal. It’s very distracting and shouldn’t be happening on a car of this caliber.
