Awesome First Car - 2005 Audi A6
By jvcbone919 - February 21 - 12:54 pmMy father and I went a purchases this car at an auction. The car has been very great to me, we bought it in August 2014 with 130k miles. Ive been in a car accident with it in which I rearended a much larger vehicle at 45 MPH. Luckily I was super safe and I just had to replace the front bumper. The car has about 145k miles on it currently and it just seems to be falling apart. Plastic pieces in the exterior, the window regulator not working correctly and some oil leaking. It has been a very nice car and I am looking for a newer mode with less miles because I feel so safe in it. Also last note the quattro all wheel drive is amazing, you never feel like you dont have traction

2005 Audi A6 C6 3.2Q Sport Package - 2005 Audi A6
By jyurick - August 18 - 2:50 pmPurchased used 2010 with 47,000 miles and now has about 67,000 a year later. Beautiful car both inside and out, and you find that new models (2010+) have copied the styling cues (Jaguar XF, Chevy Malibu, Hyundai Sonata and must recently the Volvo S60). That says much for the overall exterior design and impact. The interior is fantastic, as well as the engine/drivetrain. I would buy another used, especially if Certified Pre-Owned, but the new prices are rediculous.

Not very good service - 2005 Audi A6
By Deb - February 25 - 11:15 amIn 3 years this car has not had any big issues until recently. Since the dealer replaced a recall part of a fuel filter or pump, the car periodically does not start. Eventually it does (I havent had to be towed yet). It has been in repair regularly since October and they say it is not replicating what I describe. After several attempts at this, the dealer now has called in a special engineer to work on my car. I am now driving a low budget A4 loaner as the dealer still has my car and has not returned any of my calls. Audi USA service is just as unresponsive and very robotic with all of their responses. They are of no help.

47,000 Miles My Last Audi ? - 2005 Audi A6
By PGM - June 28 - 2:31 pmThis is my second Audi, I had an A4 3.0 Quattro that I just loved. While I had several issues with the A4 (failed ignition coils & cam pulley came loose), I still decided to buy the A6. I have had nearly as many quality and dependability issues since purchased. The most disappointing is a hesitation upon first drive of the day. I gave the dealer 4 tries before contacting Audi US. Still not fixed, so I will get rid of it in the fall. This car is beautiful inside and out. It is very difficult to drive smoothly, the steering is overboosted. I have always wished you could dial it down using MMI, why not, it is electronic? Speaking of MMI, simple and works great.

Not So Sweet - 2005 Audi A6
By dso72 - January 25 - 12:06 pmI bought this car and drove off the lot with a huge smile. The smile has turned to tears. This car was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Audi is a nightmare to deal with. I have had numerous problems with the electrical system. One thing after another. They were all safety issues and made the car undrivable. There were also issues with the Sirius radio, blue tooth, speakers, airbag, and more. I am not sure if it is just my car but I am going to assume that it is. My car has been in the shop over 30 days in the last 6 months. Audi really does not care. I would never buy another.

Dont buy an Audi - 2005 Audi A6
By denniso482 - January 1 - 10:01 pmThis car was great the first 12 months. I have had numerous problems with the car, the dealer and Audi NA. I would not recommend that anyone buy an Audi. The car is very unreliable and not worth the money. Parts are never in stock and service is a joke. I think I will be going to a Lexus from here. There are some good features but the are all overshadowed by Audi business practices.

A6 unreliable - 2005 Audi A6
By CB - September 14 - 12:04 amAudi A6 drives beautifully when it works, but is very unreliable. Have had my A6 serviced for same problem of all of a sudden shutting down and not accelerating properly 5 times in last 3 months. EPS computer fault system continues to fail. At times wont change gears properly. Buyer beware, and Audi no longer offers free service. Audi so far is refusing to replace the vehicle despite servicing it 3 times for these same issue in last 3 weeks. If you like taking your car to the dealership for service a lot, this may be your car.

Audi not what I thought it would be - 2005 Audi A6
By Thew - August 20 - 9:17 pmBought the 3.2 A6 a year ago and have been relatively pleased. Gas mileage and drive comfort have been good, and the car looks beautiful. Now the down side: I had a squeak in the rear passenger door that took the dealer 1 year to fix. No kidding. Odd issues with the electrical system have lead me to ask if I really bought an Audi. I always expected them to be top notch on fit and finish and they just missed the mark on this specific car. Wish others the best of luck.

Im not sorry I bought it, but.... - 2005 Audi A6
By B Haskell - May 14 - 10:05 pmI like the performance and reliability of this car. Handling and responsiveness is excellent. The outside styling is fair, and believe it contributes to a reduced visibility/window view through the windshield, as it is now canted at a very aerodynamic/rakish angle. I would have preferred more glass at a more upright angle. The trunk is adequate but deep and overly narrow when comparing it to the BMW 500 series. The ride on the mandatory 17" wheels (4.2 engine) is a bit too stiff for my taste. I would have preferred regular 16" higher profile tires.
