This Year's Model Updates:

Stretch an A4 platform, add rounded styling with plenty of edges for character, toss in a sumptuously comfortable interior available in several "atmosphere" styles, blend it all with traditional Germanic handling and what do you get? The excellent new Audi A6 sedan. Our only quibble is with the taillights, which appear to have been inspired by the Chevrolet S-10 pickup. The wagon is carried over from 1997.

Pros:
  • Roomy inside. Impeccable road manners. Tastefully out fitted. Exceptionally comfortable. Optional all-wheel drive system.
Cons:

  • Piece of junk - 1998 Audi A6
    By -

    I cant believe the ratings are as high as they are. Way more repair issues than ANY car deserves. Now I have 120k mi and spends more time in shop than home! Expensive to get worked on. Many issues throughout life of car. Would never ever buy another Audi.

  • Audi engineering/ service poor at best - 1998 Audi A6
    By -

    Audi and the 3 dealerships I have dealt with should be ashamed of themselves. This is not German engineering/service at its finest. I have had nothing but problems from day one, oil leaks, injector problems. After 3 visits to have the same oil leak fixed, the service mgr told me he thought I should consider buying a new car. It still leaks oil. There is a six week wait to get the car in for service because they dont have enough trained mechanics. Now, after spending $2K on a transmission module which was to fix my current problem they tell me I now need to replace the transmission.

    VERY disappointed...thinking I was buying a luxury car, and I got a luxury maint. bill. NEVER buy an Audi again!

  • DONT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!!! - 1998 Audi A6
    By -

    I bought my car used, with about 32,000 miles on it. I have driven it about 23,000 miles, and over the 18 months Ive owned it, have had the car in the shop 14 times. Not minor things either - new upper and lower oil pans, bad fuel injection system, all new sparks,etc., basically everthing but the tranny. This car is the most unreliable piece of junk I have ever had the displeasure of owning. Now I know why the previous owner traded it in at 32,000 miles, he was sick and tired of the unrealibility too. I cant wait to trade this hunk of junk in!
