All models can be equipped with a cold weather package that includes front and rear seat heaters (front seats only in 3.0 models); a ski sack; and on the 4.2 sedan only, a heated steering wheel.

    traded a 528 for an a6cvt 2003cvt a6 better: price, acceleration, radio, trunk and rear seat room, value 2000 528 better: brakes, steering, ride stability, wind noise If it wasnt for that damn audi transmission (Hesitation and banging) it would be better. Otherwise pick the features you like best

    Ive only had my A6 for 3 months, but so far, so good. It is very comfortable, rides very nice. Sporty, but wish I had gotten the 2.7L Turbo for more HP & torque. The "Sport" transmission & tiptronic help that a bit. Passengers have commented on how roomy the car is, more room inside than you would think. Classy interior, like with the wood-grain and leather. Im anxious to see how the Quattro handles Nebraska winters. Only glitch has been a small electrical problem with the remote door locks, but easily fixed.

    The engine in this car is awesome. Its going to get me in trouble with speeding. it seems like it keeps pulling even at top highway speeds. The interior fit and finish is great

    The design, quality and feel of this vehicle is excellent. They thought of almost everything. However, the seat is uncomfortable and no matter what I do, I cant seem to adjust it right. I have also noticed that the vehicle skids, lunges forward when accelerating, esp into corners. Not sure why this is.

  • 2003 A6T missing features - 2003 Audi A6

    Just a note to thise considering the 2003 Audi A6T. First , the multi function steering wheel that let you control the audio system is no longer offered on the Turbo A6T anymore. I guess safety is no longer important to Audi when it comes to driver distractions. I had this on the 2000 AT that I replaced and having seen it in all the brochures expected it in the 03 model.Quite disappointing. In addition, if you want a valet key for your luxury A6T you will have to order it for $65 and then take your car back to get it programmed. No longer standard equipment. Nice way to aggravate your loyal customers Audi!

  • Worst car I ever loved... - 2003 Audi A6

    Every day I travel steep, twisty mountain roads. The first time I took the 2.7T (6M) up the mountain, I couldnt believe how it clawed at the hills and turns, wanting more throttle than I had the guts to give. Even in rain and snow, the A6 has never blinked. When it goes, it really goes, however, its seen more than its fare share of time in the shop, 10+ times for major and minor stuff. :(

    I replaced my 2000 A6T with the same specd car. Unfortunately I did not ask about the multi function steering wheel as it shows in all the brochures. Audi does not offer this safety feature anymore. Another surprise buyers will have is the "no valet key supplied" on new 2003 A6 cars. The sales person said they did not offer them but after pressing Audi Corporate myself ,found out I can buy one for $75 extra. I guess these two items are Audis way of saying " we are popular" now so lets see how we can diminish how our customers feel about us. Nice going Audi, it sure turned me off.

  • Audi A6 - good but could be better! - 2003 Audi A6
    By -

    I decided to buy Audi after reading the favorable reviews and some positive feedback from friends. In general, this is a fine car but the lack of attention to detail is a problem. There are a number of distracting noises and rattles from the dash and air conditioning system. While seated, the seat rubs against the middle console causing a very annoying squeeking sound. With these noises ... I am glad the stereo is so good.

  • Great Car but be careful! - 2003 Audi A6
    By -

    The 2.7T is a fine automobile. The issue I have is that this specific model does NOT have the multi-function steering wheel. The brochure, web site and quick reference guide that came with the vehicle all depict this capability. The fact is this capability / feature is not available on a 2003 2.7T. My dealer did not inform me of this. Needless to say I am not happy. I have sent a letter to Audi of America expressing my displeasure and they have not responded.
