  Fun to drive, but expensive - 2001 Audi A6
  By Eric - December 5 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car in 04 as a CPOd car for my wife. Love the 2.7T engine, a blast of a car to drive. Comfortable ride. The downside, expensive to repair, seems every year that weve had it, and especially since the warranties ran out, weve had a $1,500 + repair bill for the year. Recently found that the trans needs work, hopefully this will be the last major item to repair for a long time. We bought the car with only 33,000 on it, weve put maybe 36,000 more miles in 6 yrs.

  The Last Mohigan- 215K! - 2001 Audi A6
  By Ellen829 - September 1 - 8:55 pm

  I discovered this site this evening as I am researching new vehicles. Alas, my Audi a6 and I are soon to part ways. Weve endured 7.5 years together, with minimal disagreements. Outside of routine maintenance, Ive invested perhaps 3-4k or so, collectively. Purchased the car with 27k, and it currently has over 215k on it! (with my occupation as sales manager, it behooves me to hold onto my vehicles). Can I say Ive been pleased? in a word, yes! I am actually feeling a little saddened over my soon- to-be split with my a6, but as we all know, all good things must come to an end. The divorce is indeed amicable.

  Absolute Tank! - 2001 Audi A6
  By sjs - June 3 - 9:33 pm

  We bought it back in June of 06 with 131,000 miles on it, it now has 171,000. It was purchased as an extra vehicle for my wife who has tried her hardest to kill it. She has been in three accidents one of them quite serious, we fixed it and it runs and drives great. I change the oil every 5,000 with synthetic of course. I do it myself to save money. It does have some of the leaky issues and the drivers side window is testy, but to its credit its almost 10 years old been put through the ringer by my wifes poor driving skills, and believe me, if you only knew. It is an awesome vehicle. Worth every penny. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another Audi. It takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.

  2001 A6 4.2 - 2001 Audi A6
  By enthusiast - May 24 - 5:24 pm

  Purchased the 4.2 under the Audi Certified program. Ive accumulated over 100k with this car and it runs and looks fantastic. Continues to deliver a performance oriented drive that is supplemented with comfort and reliability. Maintenance has been limited to expected repairs for a car with over 110k on it.

  Super car - 2001 Audi A6
  By Hermannr - February 16 - 8:55 pm

  This is our third Audi, was impressed with the first two, (67 and 71) so I took the chance to purchase this one off Ebay for my wife. Weve put 35,000 miles on it in the last 4 years and other than regular maintenance, we have had only the alternator fail. Average fuel economy 27 mpg in the summer and 23.5 mpg in the snow. Best fuel economy on a trip so far was 32.1 mpg. It is a little hard on tires (or is that me?) The turbos really help with the high altitude here. With all the driving we do on gravel and dirt roads, not a single squeak or rattle. Super car.

  Catalyic converter problems - 2001 Audi A6
  By Dennis - August 24 - 2:09 pm

  I bought the car as a certified used car. The converters were replaced by Audi at 52000 miles and 69000 miles later I find I need to replace them again to the tune of 2500. It would appear the converters have a problem since I have maintained the car as directed by Audi and have always used premium fuel. I would be concerned about buying a used high mileage Audi. Other than this hit and front end suspension repairs this has been a good car to drive. Please send money. -)

  One Bad (Awesome) Audi - 2001 Audi A6
  By grahamj3 - July 6 - 2:03 am

  I love my car. I have owned 50 cars in the last 10 years (everything from a 5-series Bimmer to an Expedition) and this is by far ny favorite. It has style, speed, and AWD.

  Great car - 2001 Audi A6
  By kaoz250F - January 17 - 11:45 am

  I have owned a 2.8 A6 prior to this 4.2. I have been hard on my cars but not reckless or with ignorance. I enjoy taking the long way home just to drive on some mountain roads with these cars. I have not found them unreliable and actually I trusted them more than any other car Ive been in. Short drives do not do them justice they shine in adverse weather conditions and excessively long drives. I have only had to fix things that the previous owners had damaged them due to ignorance. Quality is there, you just need to appreciate it more and treat better than a normal car.

  My favorite car ever - 2001 Audi A6
  By Em.KIM - August 15 - 3:47 pm

  When I saw my Audi, there was no doubt that it was the one I wanted. I enjoyed it right from the start and still find it a pleasure to drive. I like a car that stands out--and it does. It catches the eye and it is the best car Ive ever owned. Its not perfect, but its fun to drive and the comfort cant be beat. The heated leather seats are soothing on a cold winters drive home from shopping.
