STELLAR DESIGN, NOT RUN OF THE MILL - 2006 Audi A6
By ADAM - October 12 - 12:22 pmIve recently switched from my 3rd BMW to the Audi. The all wheel drive Quattro system makes me wonder how I ever drove the rear wheel drive BMW. The performance of the Audis Quattro System, even in dry conditions, gives the driver complete control in sport driving conditions. I truly feel the quality and fit and finish are much better. BMWs new 5 and 7s awkward design and cumbersom interiors really turned me off. The MMI system is also very convenient and easy to use unlike the I Drive which seems to only complicate things.

2005 A6 3.2 Q - 2006 Audi A6
By mwroby - September 19 - 4:56 pmExtremely well built and thought out vehicle. The interior is cutting edge, yet refined and clean. The MMI system is extremely intuitive, I learned its operation in a couple hours. Very good power, it will push you back in your seat. I rarely see these vehicles on the road, which is a good thing. Audi is rated 8 out of 37 in quality this year from JD Power and Associates, and I agree.

A6 review - 2006 Audi A6
By PA guy - September 15 - 10:02 pmMy second A6. Mix of great things and some annoyances. Biggest issue is steering wheel which doesnt align straight when car is going straight. Not fixable because of the design and quite irritating when driving. Lower drivers seat cushion doesnt move much so for some average size folks not a comfortable position. Also the impeccable interior design of the last generation A6 design drops with absence of single CD capability, usable second cup holder and airbag and door lock lights that are very bright. Goodies two: Navigation is very easy. Automatic electronic key is far nicer than you would guess. Great trunk with quality folding seats.

LOVE my A6 - 2006 Audi A6
By J G - September 11 - 12:54 amAfter being in american made vehicles for over a decade, I am in love with my A6. My wifes car is grossly under her leased mileage, but I still find myself taking my new A6 everywhere we go. I drive a lot for work, and I am actually in better moods at work and after work due to the fun driving experience of the A6. I recommend this car to anyone looking for a mid-size sedan.

Excellent Value - 2006 Audi A6
By Mark N - September 1 - 1:58 pmExcellent value for the amount of car you get. Very sleek elegant styling compared to the boxy looks of the Mercedes Benz and BMW equivalents. Interior is roomy and comfortable especially for those that are taller than average. First time I had a car where I do not have to push the seat all the back for leg comfort. Get the Sport Package as the car performs and responds much better with it and is more than reasonably priced for what you get in return.

Would buy again - 2006 Audi A6
By Colleen - August 20 - 6:21 pmI wish a little bit more on the take-off, other than that I love this car its a lot of fun to drive. I also like being able to switch between auto and manual shifting.

Great car except... - 2006 Audi A6
By MikeP - August 18 - 4:53 pmI test drove everything in the A6s class. The Audi is heads and shoulders above the competition. The interior feels like someone actually thought about it, the suspension is comfortable at any speed yet can still be tossed around without any complaint. The quattro still amazes me everyday. My only complaint is with all the warning noises this car has, in particular the seatbelt ding and the low fuel warning. I know we should all wear our seatbelts, but come on, I dont need the car to constantly tell me. The low fuel warning scares the bejesus out of me everytime, I think just a light would be sufficient.

overall excellence - 2006 Audi A6
By Renrut - August 17 - 1:15 amThis is second Audi. First was 10 years ago. That car felt like it was trying to be "American". The new A6 is German in all of its details. Steering is quick, cornering is flat, braking is straight and sure, ride is firm and engine response is strong and quiet. The A6 does everything it should do with a high level of confidence and satisfaction. Overall, a very satisfactory solid hunk of automobile.

Great Car - 2006 Audi A6
By George O - August 16 - 5:14 pmI have owned my A6 for 9 months. Great car, handles beautifully even in snow. Fun car to drive and a beautiful design and excellent workmanship. No mechanical problems. I will buy my wife a new A4 based on my experiences with the A6.
