  Great car but... - 2000 Audi A6
  By Alex Y - June 1 - 9:04 pm

  My Audi is a great car, but... dont get me wrong, this car shows power when needed and is able to handle almost anything. I am 18 and I drive hard. The best thing about this car is its turbo. Nothing is better than hitting the turbo redlining the engine and passing all of those slow drivers on the highway. The car also handles very well. Taking sharp turns at 30-40 mph gives you such a rush. However, because it performs so well it is easy to forget the cars limits.

  multiple oil leaks - 2000 Audi A6
  By e.tuirner - March 12 - 11:25 pm

  Dont get me wrong I love driving my Audi A6 2.7. But dont let me park in your driveway. I have the valve cover gasket changed three times last year and once this year, it leaks oil out of any and every place possible! The dealer told me that there are over a thousand places that the leaks could come from. I still love driving the A6 and if I could stop those oil leaks, I would be on top of the world. And why cant someone make better gaskets for that darn Audi. And so what if my check engine is always on, it reminds me that I have an engine for now!!!!!!!

  2000 Audi A6 2.7T - 2000 Audi A6
  By Roman1 - March 4 - 10:00 am

  Break rotors were replaced four time by 18,000 miles. Front vibration continues but cannot be found by dealer. Car runs well and drives smooth. The power of the car is great.

  Glad I bought the 4.2l - 2000 Audi A6
  By Paul - February 8 - 8:29 am

  This is my 5th audi. The 4.2l is a rocket on wheels and my favorite so far. Engine has been maint. free other then the standard timing belt / water pump change ($800) at 80K. Break pads last ~40K. Minor non-driveability repairs. Window switch ($110) 2x failed, 5 min DIY repair. Front end torsion squeaks (>$1000). Expensive oil changes ($80). Center display is getting dim. Most fun daily driver I have ever owned. Unique body and interior of the 4.2l sets it far about the mundane 2.7Ts. Great in the snow. Almost as fast as my 911. Find a non-dealer Audi mech., I havent met a dealer yet that will let me out of the service bay for <$1000 of questionable repairs.

  Fun to drive but drains your pockets - 2000 Audi A6
  By audi4.2 - December 15 - 12:52 pm

  I bought this car with 80,000 a year ago. Its a wonderfull car to drive, i have had majors problems. Trasmission went out with no reverse two months ago.Audi dealer quote was 7000 for a rebulit which was almost as much as the car was worth. If you want a fun sedan 300hp safe in the winter all wheel drive, but its going to cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars to maintain. Im in the middle right Ive spent already more money than the car is worth. She runs really good now and I hope for the new few years.

  Good all around package - 2000 Audi A6
  By Tom Howe - July 16 - 10:29 pm

  Was looking to buy a Subaru Outback, but when I saw the Audi on a local car lot, I stopped in and gave it a drive. Was impressed by its styling. Very atttractive, but not pretentous. Transmission very smooth, as is engine, which has decent power, and gets good gas mileage for a V-6 AWD, about 25 MPG on highway. Fantastic on slick/wet roads. Nice leather interior that doesnt have any rips or discoloration after 130,000 miles. If you fold the rear seat down, there is a ton of room in the back. Great on long trips. Very reliable except for front driving light bulbs dont last very long. Well built, doesnt have any rattles

  Enjoy it, but.... - 2000 Audi A6
  By sdem - December 28 - 8:03 pm

  We bought our Wagon 4 1/2 years ago and weve really enjoyed the styling and room it provides. As mentioned previously, the engine could have had more power but the Ttronic gives you the ability to get creative on the road. Great for hauling and it still looks great but the cost of minor problems is a bit much. we have 81k and im debating selling or trading in just because i worry about whats to come. again, i love the german styling, but my japanese vehicle is 3 years older and i feel safer on long trips in it rather than the audi.

  Love the Car but Repairs are Too Costly - 2000 Audi A6
  By Jenn - April 29 - 9:01 am

  Overall I am grateful for the exceptional handling, especially fantastic in snow, but the expensive parts and repairs after ~70k miles have me disappointed in the long term value of this car. Just before the extended warranty ran out, I had the AM radio fixed (it had never worked). When I picked up the car I found that the warranty company had paid about $1,000 for that repair alone. Since then Ive been spending about $1.5k - 3k every six months on repairs. As noted in other reviews, CD player failed and LCD panel faded at about 80k. The cup holders are flawed. I also no longer run back to the dealer to pay $110 for diagnosing the Check Engine Light that comes on every 2-3 months.

  A6 - 2000 Audi A6
  By unknown - August 10 - 7:01 pm

  i bought this car 2 mos ago with 83k. i loved it at first. i feel safe in it. i just had the timing belt go before it should have and cause major engine damage. i have heard a lot about sensors going bad. i would never buy another one with out a warranty. it is just not wise or financially practical because something is bound to go wrong because of the notorious electrical problems, and the cost to fix is high.

  Troubles - 2000 Audi A6
  By CatherineE - July 20 - 10:00 am

  We have had trouble with the car burning oil - about 4 quarts between scheduled maintenance - they say its normal. We have also replaced the front brakes 3 times. The check engine light has gone on several times. Once it was repaired - the other times just goes off and on. The tie rod ends were replaced, water temperature guage didnt work, the oil low pressure light came on once, and there is static in the left front speaker. Now the car is shifting really hard. Love the car, but not all the numerous problems.
