The Q5 is gone long live the A6

After 92,000 happy miles the 2018 Q5 is gone. With the way cars depreciate it was time to trade or commit to driving it forever. The new A6 with the 3.0 is a much different car. Definitely meant for covering miles in comfort, much less of a multipurpose grocery getter. I drive frequently from close to the Oregon border to San Diego. For this the A6 is far superior to the Q5. gas mileage is between 35-40 with the 48volt mild hybrid, a pleasant improvement over the Q5. Ride is quiet and comfortable, steering is excellent with an almost hydraulic feel. Brakes are powerful but touchy, will take some getting used to as the input gives an an unexpected rapid response. Modulation not a strong point. I had a similar experience with a 2012 A4 so maybe the sedans are set up a bit different. The A4 was a very good car but felt a bit claustrophobic. The A6 completely solves that issue. The display is almost entirely touch screen and I was just getting used to the MMI knob, so now I have fingerprints on the screen. Learning curve is very quick for the touch screen and no more Nav screen above the dash so it finally looks like it was designed into the car instead of an add on. Biggest difficulty is access to the trunk. Small opening but very deep, not nearly as easy to toss things in as the Q5. Interior quality and fit and finish are typical Audi which is very high and durable. Cheap feeling plastic buttons from previous models have been eliminated and this one seems worthy of Audi's self proclaimed one of the best cars made. Based on my past experience with Audi reliability I have high hopes for this one to do the near 100,000 miles with little more than routine maintenance. Did I mention it is fast? It is pretty fast so currently debating the $800 to add the APR stage 1 ECU tune. Almost 500 lbs torque for the tune, so intoxicating and the dealer said it won't impact the Audi warranty as long as no hardware is replaced. I expect eventually I'll give in but only because it should also increase the gas mileage, ha ha. I picked the Premium trim because it had all the features I wanted but lacked the ones I never use such as cooled seats (just feels weird) and adaptive cruise control which I've had on 2 previous cars and found that along with lane correction resulted in a sleepy driver. I prefer a more interactive experience with driving to the automated one.

Quiet luxury with a kick!

The 2019 A6 is very luxurious, with first-rate materials throughout. The interior design is very clean and loaded with technology. The V-6 engine is very quiet, but when pushed it provides immediate and ample power.

Are you driving a car or playing a video game?

Drove this car for 180 miles while my A4 was being serviced. Pros: Outstanding power, great grip, smooth engine, very quiet inside, great sound system. Cons: Even in comfort setting it’s a Princess and the Pee situation with the 20 inch tires - you can feel every pebble on the road. Yet while this might suggest the car is set up for folks with sporting ambitions, the steering doesn’t provide any feedback and is totally numb. Seems the car can’t decide whether to coddle or race. Also for there is constantly the question who is actually driving the car - the driver or some computer that constantly advises on speed limits, makes course corrections and what not. It’s an eerie feeling, and you never know who is in charge. I personally also don’t like the dual screen interface at all. It’s very non intuitive to use. The windows were fogged up one morning, but I couldn’t figure out how to defog them. Even simple tasks require multiple steps through the touch screens. The touch screens are difficult and dangerous to use while driving and can blind you when you drive with an open sun roof and the sun comes from a certain angle. I very much prefer to way more intuitive set up in the base A4... Overall: The car is a technical tour de force. This might delight techies, but sometimes less is more and you never know whether the car’s computer or you are driving the car. If you are in the market for a $78k car, LOVE playing video games and are into virtual reality, this may be your machine. Personally, I find the Mercedes E450 more appealing at this price point. The E450 is more comfortable but still handles remarkably well, and it much more closely resembles a regular car.

Vehicle is good looking. Electronics are good, don't like touch screen, prefer buttons and dial's. Acceleration is good from a dead stop, but bad turbo lag, especially from 30 to 50 mph. To me supercharger was more responsive than turbo charger. Have vehicle with 20" tires, poor ride, noisy and alot of vibrations. I use comfort mode and still not that great. Seat's hard and not that comfortable. Would not repurchase this vehicle. Had noise, rattle from day of purchase. Finally so annoying, brought car back to dealership. Noise coming from moon roof. Repair could go from replacing felt around moon roof to having to take out front and rear windows, remove headliner, take out moon roof and reset roof beams that hold moon roof in place. This is a premium vehicle? Third and last audi. If your thing of buying this vehicle, you better give it a good test drive over a bumpy road. Will update review after repairs done. Repairs was to replace felt, vehicle much quieter, will see how long that lasts. Had to press garage door icon 5 times before garage door opened. After one year got rid of vehicle. Purchased different brand, with dials, buttons and touch screen. More solid, bigger engine, Quieter and much quicker. Dumped car after 1 year, bought BMW M550i.
