Audi doesn't get it yet

The car is really fun to drive, but the front seats are not the Recaros with the adjustable thigh bolster that the manual shows and there is very little thigh support. The real problem is Audi dealers. They never tell the whole truth when you buy the car - every deal is a one- shot relationship. Until Audi gets its dealers to act like human beings, buying and owning an Audi will be a constant source of irritation and frustration. Is it worth it? With all the competing products on the market, I doubt it. Audi dealers are the worst I have ever encountered.

2002 - Audi S6 Avant

This vehicle has done all that I have asked it to do and the list is long. I use the car for quick, quiet, and effortless business travel over long distances (800 miles per day)with and without cargo. Living across the road from Killington, the S6 Avant proved its worth when outfitted with Nokian snow tires. It is unstoppable in snow, ice, rain, and mud (all at once)! As for performance, on the stock tires at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut during a BMWCCA event I was able to put up a 1:06 flat lap while carrying a student in the passenger seat. Overall, this is the best wagon to do everything qucikly and quietly in high style.

Recently purchased this car Audi CPO. Drove it 1000 mi home - It was like a vacation. This car is perfect. Everything from the dashboard lights to the advanced braking system work in perfect harmony. Some notes: leather seats without alcantara insets are simply TOO slippery for spirited driving. I spent a lot of my trip home planted to the door because I slipped out of my seat. (Learned to offset that a little by stomping on the dead pedal.) Probably wouldn't be an issue for a wider person. Yes, you get terrible mileage. It IS worth it. If you're doing mostly highway miles (like me), you're getting about 18 mpg, which isn't horrible. City? Hopefully you don't drive very many miles :)

Hottest Wagon on Earth

Thought my 2002 A6 4.2 was as good as family cars get . . . then I bought an S6. It has the punch and handling edge of my 1998 Corvette, with infinitely better build quality and chassis solidity. Only downside is car was delivered with warped rear rotors (which might have been caused by the dealer over-torquing the aftermarket wheels I had him install). But the dealer replaced the rotors the same day I picked up the car and discovered the problem. LOVE this car!

I have been searching for five years to find the ultimate combination of performance, practicality, luxury, and understated styling. This car has and does it all. While the RS6 beets this hands down, this car has more than enough oomph and rail-like handling to make me smile from ear to ear. Beside, have you tried stuffing a few kids and a few dogs with associated gear into your uber-sedan for a treck acroos the country? Also, exactly where do you live that the roads and the cops will let you test the limits of your double turbo Porsche?
