  • Sleeper Speed Demon! - 2003 Audi A6
    By -

    Ive had this car for about 3 weeks and I have nothing but great things to say about it. I have the black on black one with 17" BBS rims and it looks amazing. The drive itself is amazing. If it is driven lightly then it is very well mannered and handles the road beautifully and very smoothly. However, if you begin to push harder the car responds like you wouldnt believe. The steering tightens up, turbos begin to push, and it turns into a low flying jet! This car simply rockets when asked to do so! Perfect balance between luxury and sport. Plus the Quattro is awesome in bad wether.

    This is our second A6. Our first was dead reliable but was sluggish. The more powerful engine with the CVT transmision is a vast improvement over the Tiptronic in our old A6. Gas mileage is much improved too. The car has wonderful build quality, is roomy for passengers and luggage, fun to drive and is significanly cheaper than comparible BMWs and Mercedess

  • Great Car but tire choice critical - 2003 Audi A6
    By -

    Driving an A-6 4.2 is a great experience. The car is fast, handles well and is an all-around first class sedan. But for those of us living in the snow belt, the choice of tires can be critical. The 17" Perellis have been trouble. I have experiences three damaged tires and two bent rims in the last couple of years. The lower profile, 17" 235-45 tires simply do not offer much cushion against road hazards. Even the Audi website (in the fine print) suggests that "sport" tires require a special decision. Ill probably buy another Audi - its a great car - but my choice of tires will be different.

    The seats are extremely comfortable. The quatro is great in snow. The controls are logical.

    Great combination of performance and luxury. Looks great on the exterior and has a first class interior.

  • Squealing Brakes "Normal"?? NO WAY !! - 2003 Audi A6
    By -

    At 5,000 miles the brakes started squealing BADLY when stopping.Selling dealer inspected and sanded pads & rotors.30 miles later, squealing returned. Spoke to Audi of America, sent me to another dealer for opinion. 2nd dealer said there is nothing more they can do as Audi will NOT pay for replacing un-worn pads.They said this is NORMAL. So for 50 Grand, I squeal down the road and hate the car!!

  • First time Owner - 2003 Audi A6

    THis is my first Audi. I have been very pleased with the fit and finish of the car as well as the understated elegance and style. I have received many compliments. Most people are amazed that they havent seen more of them especially considering the price difference between this auto and a BMW 5 series.
