Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Sports-carlike performance, wagon utility, sumptuous interior, lots of standard features, standard all-wheel drive.
Cons
- High price tag, only rated for 15 mpg in city driving.
What’s new
Audi makes no changes to the high-performance S6 in its second year on the U.S. market.
Edmunds says
Clark W. Griswold of "National Lampoon's Vacation" only dreamed about taking a family road trip in a car like the S6 Avant, which eliminates any compromise between driving pleasure and station wagon utility, except perhaps fuel economy.

Awesome Audi

2002 Audi S6 Avant quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (4.2L 8cyl 5A)
2 years into ownership of this car, and I have NO regrets. I cannot say enough about the performance of the little V8, even at high altitude. (I bet this would be a beast at sea level.) I have 2 young kids (6 and 3), a wife, a big dog, a little dog, and stuff to haul back and forth to grandma's house 275 miles one way - this car handles it amazingly well!!! It is perfect in every way.
The Best

2002 Audi S6 Avant quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (4.2L 8cyl 5A)
This is the best car we have ever
owned - it is a sports car with family
functionality - it will get your kids
where they have to go - store stuff in
the trunk and will handle the road like
a monster - put snow tires on it and
even without the ground clearance it
will burn most SUVs on slick roads - in
the summer it will give an M5 a run for
its money on the highway - … maybe the
greatest car ever designed for people
who want the ability to drive a very
fun car and still get the family around.

2003 Audi S6 Avant quattro AWD 4dr Wagon (4.2L 8cyl 5A)
I got this car because i am tired of SUV's slowness and bad handling. but i do need the utility part. 340hp make ur right foot feels good all the time, and the car's look will never get u the bad attention from cops.
very well build, every little details that shows great craftmanship. enjoy drive it everyday, every where. and the good part is it does not bother me with TPMS, non-seat … belt warning those extra annoying features.
Well, Bad thing about this car is expensive to fix, timing belt cost more than $2500. Also all the audi/vw's cockpit control button's letter ez to wear off, make the car looks older.
try to upgrade but audi do not offer V8 wagon no more, and Q7 just not as sharp!
