All 2008 Audi A6 sedans and Avants receive last year's previously optional "S line" exterior trim package as standard.

- Elegantly crafted interior, all-wheel drive offered on all trim levels, strong available V8, priced lower than its European competitors.
- V6 is short on low-end torque, handling not as sharp as others in the class, no manual transmission option.

My New Audi A6 - 2008 Audi A6
By Leif Vasstrom - September 29 - 2:31 amI have had MBs 280, 380, 560, 430, 600 BMWs 740 (2), Porsche Carrera 4, Maserati and others, oh and of course an Audi S4 - and I think I have finally grown up, at least it feels like it. This is a car that feels any bit as nice, maybe better, as my 2002 MB 430S, both ergonomically, aestetically and has more gadgets than I need, but I use them all, bluetooth, i-pod, Nav system (far out) and has a great ride. Ok, so the 6 Cyl. may not be a V8, but it is plenty peppy and I am happy.

Better than you expect. - 2008 Audi A6
By Enthused - May 30 - 11:53 amThe 2008 A6 replaced my 2001 A6. While the 2001 A6 was a solid car, Audi has upped their game significantly with the 2008. The build quality is outstanding - equal or better than my wifes MB E320. The interior is beautiful, a great blend of class and high tech. The car is very fun to drive, tight in turns, plenty of pep for a V6 and the MPG is far better than the the govt ratings - 26/27mpg in mixed driving, 30+mpg on the road. The MMI system with the Bose/Sirius is easy to use, and the high tech display is excellent. The cabin is very quiet, so you can really enjoy the great sound system - great improvement from the Audi Symphony system in my 2001 A6. Overall, this is a terrific car.

Perfect Car - 2008 Audi A6
By Black Audi - May 11 - 9:10 pmWe have had the car for about 6 months and it is a perfect family wagon. It has plenty of room for a family of four and a dog. It gets about 25 mpg in mixed driving and 29 on a recent highway trip. I have been a Japanese car fan for the last 10 years after several BMWs left me wanting something with less maint. down time. I saw that the Audi reliability ratings were getting to a point that I felt comfortable giving an Audi a try. Its only been 6 months, but so far not one problem. We also live in New England and wanted all wheel drive, but we didnt want a truck. It was great in the snow and handles like a sports car on the dry pavement.

A Fine German Piece of Engineering - 2008 Audi A6
By Tom M - May 5 - 7:31 pmI was in the market for an all-wheel drive german executive car, so my choices were the MB E350 4Matic, BMW 535xi, or the Audi A6 3.2, and I went with the Audi. And I really think I made the right choice. I dont like the idea that underneath its a Passat, but the interior styling is unmatched and look nothing alike. The Quattro system works beautifully in all conditions. Im getting about 31MPG average, which is great for this sized car. Im just slightly disapointed with the acceleration. When merging on a highway(especially in NJ!), its somewhat lazy and throttle response isnt as immediate as I hoped for. Like all Audi.s, the ride is firm, so beware of long trips.

Close to a 10 - 2008 Audi A6
By Steve - April 15 - 9:49 pmMy third A6 offers loads of improvements over its earlier siblings. Ride is significantly more solid. Handling is so precise its like a vacuum sucking the backtop. Engine performance is powerful and at least 10% more economical than the 3.0 in my previous 2003 A6. Views are stimulating from approaching the vehicle to behind the wheel. Several minor cost cutting steps should be noted: more narrow seats and thinner cushions than the previous models, door pockets are "cheaper," manual fuel filler door replaces and automatic release, head restrants no- longer swivel. I also miss oil temp. and volt gauges.

Amazing Vehicle - 2008 Audi A6
By Awesome! - April 1 - 8:57 pmThis is my second Audi A6 and this is an entirely new vehicle that was redesigned from the bottom up. On a 350 mile trip at avg speed of 75mph I got 30 MPG! Quiet cabin, great ergonomics,and the NAV is the best I have ever seen. The sound system is fantastic. Headlights are improved. I did find the sunroof to be a little small but it is not as important compared to all the positives.

2008 Audi A6 - 2008 Audi A6
By Gary - January 12 - 8:27 pmDriving dynamics are brilliant. The car rides like a train on the rails. There is no slipping nor sliding. Quattro system makes sure of that. Every mechanical component works in total harmony with each other. The interior appointments must be an envy of every other automaker. From the incredible ergonomics to the impeccable attention to the slightest details, this car clearly is a winner.

Top Notch Performance - All Year Round! - 2008 Audi A6
By MMMPower!!! - October 30 - 12:08 pmI have owned Lexus, BMW, Volvo, Jaguar, Acura and this is my second Audi. Living in Canada with the relatively harsh winters and hot/humid summers I have found that the Quattro system in the Audi is by far the best I have ever driven for all year driving. Interior fit and finish and the intuitive design/layout make it something that I havent had to this extent in any of the previously owned or tested cars. Each time my lease is up I go out and test each of the previously mentioned manufacturers, plus Infiniti, and go through all the pros and cons, including cost, performance, all year maintenance, and passion for the car. Service has been top notch! Great car all around.

The Beast - 2008 Audi A6
By Marcus - September 12 - 10:13 amWith this car I am fully in control and it grabs the ground like an ice pick to ice, the growl of the engine just makes you wanna go faster and faster, this car is by far better than any BMW out there, with its AWD platform you can make curves like they were straight lines.
