Overview & Reviews

The 2010 Audi A6 receives a more powerful base engine, while the navigation system is upgraded to include real-time traffic and Audi's latest-generation MMI electronics control system. A pair of sport packages returns to the options list and a heated steering wheel is now included with the Cold Weather package.

• Finely finished interior, all-wheel drive available across the lineup, strong supercharged V6, good fuel economy from base engine.

• Top-dog V8 slower than supercharged V6, not as memorable as some rivals.

  Too many problems - 2010 Audi A6
  By mprage - May 29 - 1:51 pm

  I love driving this car but sadly have had too many problems. 1) had to replace 4 tires after hitting small potholes for flat/sidewall bubbles. Really detracts from driving enjoyment if constantly worrying about the tires. 2) total of 4 services for coolant pump, 3 engine related repairs - broken fan, loose lines, and rear view mirror falling off.

  dont drive if you spend winters driving to ski country - 2010 Audi A6
  By claudioc - March 17 - 6:39 pm

  Car has some great features but expect problems with front brake rotors. I was hoping Audi would correct brakes and after problems with my 2005 allroad I switched to a Mercedes 300 series. After 52,000 miles I traded in on original brakes. Now my A-6 2010 again has warped rotors after 17,800 miles. Pads only about 40% worn or less. This was same problem in allroad. It just cost me 600 dollars after 15% dealer discount - a true joke. I usually use engine during down hills and am carefull not to heat brakes. I think that it may be slush or cold rain that cold shocks the rotors. When audi covered these under warranty I did not mind, they stopped this in 2005 probably due to frequency - so $$$

  2010 A6 3.0T Premimum Plus - 2010 Audi A6
  By pashkus - November 26 - 2:00 am

  This is my 2nd A6, and 3rd Audi. Overall an excellent car. Shopped it against BMW 535xi, but found it to be more responsive, particularly at low speeds, and much more attractive (aesthetically), especially the interior. Audi did make the car more powerful with the new 3.0T engine, and managed to keep the price down, but it did fall short to some cost savings: The stereo is no longer a Bose unit, hidden cubbyholes under the front seats are gone, the side mirrors no longer fold automatically, and the standard tires are now 97H (even the Q7 gets 109H). The only reliability issue I experienced was a coolant leak due to a faulty water pump, which was replaced under a recall notice.

  First 1,000 miles - 2010 Audi A6
  By DaveW - April 23 - 4:20 pm

  Purchased after driving BMW 535 and 2011 Infiniti M37. The Audi is the best of both worlds. I just would give the BMW the edge for handling and the engine, but its interior does not come close to the quality of the Audi. The Infiniti has upped the ante with their 2011 M37 interior, and I have to say it is better than even Audis, however the engine and handling where no where near as sorted out as the Germans. Audi combines the best of each. I have the 19" Sport Package, which makes the ride a little stiff, but not uncomfortable. At freeway speeds the car is in its element. The 3G MMI is great - although I am still learning its quirks. Loving it through 1,000 miles!

  Short review after 1400 miles- A6 - 2010 Audi A6
  By Mattsam - March 20 - 7:30 pm

  I purchased the 2010 Audi A6 3.0 supercharged early this year. WOW what a car. Im an Acura guy and looked hard at a RL, the ZDX, and another MDX (would have been my third) All are great cars with only the MDX considerably less expensive. They just didnt thrill me. I was leasing my first company vehicle and I have owned/driven many of the premium brands. I was always drawn to the Audi, I hardly see one on the road. The ride is plush, the gadgets are over the top cool, and the 3.0 supercharged engine is top notch. Its been in the shop once already for check engine (dirt in a sensor) but I dont care. Every time I drive it Im smiling ear to ear!
