  06 A6 4.2 - 2006 Audi A6
  By computire - October 28 - 9:00 am

  The car is tight, responsive and handles well. However, the engine is a little loud. The drawback to this vehicle is the brakes which are much too touchy. Difficult to glide to a smooth stop. The controls (radio,t emp, phone, navigation) are very handy and easy to use.

  Awesome Red S-Line - 2006 Audi A6
  By Chad and Julia - October 7 - 11:58 pm

  This is the greatest driving car we have ever owned. We love the look! We bought the RED S-Line V-8 and it goes and stops like hell. Although we only have 1500 miles on it we havent had any problems. The interior and exterior are beautifully assembled and the quality of the materials is top notch. The MMI system is easy to use but sometimes distracting.

  My wife traded her A4 on an A6. I liked driving hers so well, I traded in my IS 250 for one too!

  Audi 3.2 Quattro well designed - 2006 Audi A6
  By Arch57 - August 17 - 10:15 am

  This car was a replacement for my wifes 97 BMW 528i. This car is surprisingly quick and the transmission is the best "auto" I have ever had. The difference from her 4-speed BMW auto is amazing. This system always seems to know the right gear, downshifting as you brake so when you step on it you are in the correct gear. Handling is not on par with BMW. We could have opted for Sport suspension to fix that but got a great deal on a 2006 on the lot.

  Very very pleased - 2006 Audi A6
  By Jim Hughes - August 11 - 9:39 am

  Bought the 2006 A6 to replace a 1997 A6. A quantum leap in technical sophistication, comfort and fit. Seating very comfortable. Highway noise almost non-existent. Great acceleration and manuverability. Only two minor manufacturing flaws, neither performance related. The MMI is easy enough to use, but it is distracting. I live with a lot of wide open spaces, but with hundreds of satellite radio stations to choose from, you get distracted. The on- wheel controls do not remedy this because of a lag in activating the tuning dial - the lag means you have to look away from the road to see where you are. The doors are very heavy, which I equate with safe. I would happily buy this car again.

  At 6000 miles its been fun and no problems. The 5000 mile service was friendly and thorough. The mileage has been a pleasant surprise as its constantly above 30 mpg on the highway.

  Audi - A6 WOW!! - 2006 Audi A6
  By Sam - August 1 - 3:47 pm

  After driving American cars for over 35 years, I bought A6 (premium package). Wow ! What a difference. I looked at the competitors - no comparison! A6 has a better interior + power + everything else. Gas mileage is excellent (mid 20s combined). Handles very well.

  Truly worth buying - 2006 Audi A6
  By Ajay - July 25 - 12:58 pm

  I chose the A6 against Merc E-class and BMW 5-series, just because I wanted to try something different, and this vehicle seemed promising when I visited the showroom. It offers fantastic grip on the road, and I have driven it at 155 mph frequently, without being worried. All the electronics offered in the car are also very useful and good. I never experienced any error in the car as yet (after using it for over a year). I unfortunately didnt get to buy a Quattro. Therefore, i am not much happy with the FWD of this car as it tends to slip a lot during acceleration. Incase if you are planning to buy the A6, then please go for the Quattro (AWD). It literally stands out.

  Stylish but lazy in performance - 2006 Audi A6
  By A6 3.2 Quattro - July 23 - 12:48 pm

  I bought this car mainly because of its edgy new look & safety. Unfortunately the 3.2 A6 is sluggish off the line. Unresponsive while cruising on Drive, and the Sport mode seems to shift with too much of an advanced delay. This car is fine for a driver who doesnt care about torque and responsiveness across the RPM line.

  1st Audi after 4 BMWs - 2006 Audi A6
  By steve - July 18 - 2:57 pm

  WOW is all I can say. And Im sorry that I was a BMW "snob" for too many years. I bought the Audi primarily because I was looking for AWD in the winter. Having only had the car now for one month in the summer, Im truly sorry that I didnt consider an Audi prior to this. This car is the ultimate driving machine!!!
