  • Great Car - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    This is my 2nd Audi and with one exception, its been my favorite. Did have to replace transmission "computer" chip outside of warranty and they dont come cheap. On the other hand the car has provided wonderful service, Its stylish, comfortable, quiet, reliable and gets exceptional milage - 22 to 24 in town and 30 to 32 on the road at 70 mph. I am, however, a geezer driver - as my children tell me - so I dont flog either the engine or brakes.

  • Once you go QUATTRO you cant go back! - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    This is the best piece of man made machine I have ever driven. I drove Infiniti G35s and Nissan 350Z and then had two hondas and one gm. Of all those cars, I can say this is in its own category and nothing comes to close to the performance and comfort and style and OH YOU HAVE A NICE CAR comments. MY next car will be an A8L but I will enjoy every bit of my A6. Every time I start the engine and hear the muffler noise (modified) I just cant wait to hit on the gas pedal and accelerate. The feel is way beyond anything I can ever own and AFFORD to own. 20k$

  • AMAZING - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    I just bought this car at the beginning of the week, but did a lot of reviews on it, and they were all very good. I LOVE the car so far. I cant wait until this winter to try out the AWD! I just wish the gas mileage was a bit better, but its ok for how amazing the car is!

  • AUDIOS to BMW and Mercedes! - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    Having owned 3 Audis this is by far the best one... quality, comfort, speed, all weather capable... what more is there! This Audi beats BMW and Mercedes... hands down... the only downfall is the HIGH maintenance costs. But every car is high to maintain these days.

  • LUXURY & sport for 20k - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    If youre dumb enough to buy a $50k car and complain that it costs a lot to maintain (when you only paid 20k for it) then shame on you. This is a phenomenal car and beats the pants off any comparable, or even brand new, car you can get for ~20k. Ive had 2 and loved them both. (148k miles, and 22k miles) The car is fast, comfortable, reliable (if you keep it up), and an awesome daily driver.

  • Another Great Audi Product. - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    We were needing to get something a little larger than our A4. I looked at Caddys, Jags, Beemers, Mercs and Inf. There was always something about them that made them either feel very dated on the inside (Jag, Merc, BMW) or cheap on the inside (Inf, Caddy). When I first looked at the A6 I looked at the 3.0 CVT model, but heard many negs about the CVT. Decided to risk the turbos and step up to the 2.7T S-Line as it wasnt much more money on the used market. I am so pleased with my decision. The car is beautiful inside and out. It performs great in all conditions. Decent fuel economy. I havent loved a car as much as this one since my 1993 & 97 Infiniti J30. And this car blows em away.

  • Worth It - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    Bought the car for my wife and we both love it. The ride is great, and the cabin is first class. When I walk by it I cant help but stare at it. Had one problem bad brake light switch caused alarms, but $100 fix. Now Im looking for the A6 4.2 V8 for me. Mercedes are so bland and BMWs are ugly. If you want a great car that makes you happy every time you drive it, buy Audi.

  • Extra Performance is Easy! - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    This is a great car for any family. The added bonus (for dad or mom) is the easy modification. I have added a GIAC perfromance chip, cold air intake and better turbo valves. This car easily outruns a Mustang GT in the straight line and on the track. It is fun to pass so-called "sports cars" with my sons car-seat in the back.

  • Exceptional Automobile - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    Have owned Volvos, Benz, Bimmers, you name it our 2004 S-line A6 has been the best handling, most reliable auto ever. Chicago winters, no problem. Many x-country trips in every season. The car has never once let us down. Minor electronic nuisance with turn signal relay, but thats it. Developed outside water leak in front passenger floor area which we still havent tracked down, but what the hey...shopping for a nice all road with the same mechanicals as we need more room to carry stuff with a new business. Highly recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market.

  • So far, so good! - 2004 Audi A6
    By -

    Love the look and, so far, love the car. Purchased used with 8 months remaining on warranty which provided a little peace of mind. Nearest dealer is 70 miles away but so far that has not proven to be an issue. Previously owned a 1984 Audi 5000 with manual transmission that I loved but didnt care for the high cost of maintenance and repair. I put more than 240k miles on it before I traded. This newer one is substantially more sophisticated than the 1984 version and, I hope, more reliable. Have been amazed by in-town gas mileage which averages over 22 mpg in town to go with a respectable 30 mpg on the highway. I do drive conservatively and plan to keep the A6 for a long time.
