Overview & Reviews

The A6 gets a new 220-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 to replace last year's 2.8-liter. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available on front-wheel-drive models with this engine. Other mechanical changes this year include stronger brakes, an improved stability control system and BrakeAssist. OnStar telematics makes its way onto the options list, and you'll be pleased to find a standard six-disc changer in the dashboard. Styling in and around the car, such as the head and taillamps, is slightly modified and new interior and exterior colors expand your choices.

• Large selection of engines, well-appointed interior, all-wheel-drive stability.

• Non-linear steering, questionable exterior styling.

  AUDI 5000? - 2002 Audi A6
  By JOHN ISHNER - March 20 - 9:00 pm

  THIS CAR HAS COME A LONG WAYS FROM THE OLD SELF STARTER 5000S. LOVE THIS CAR. JUST TRADED MY 2000 528 FOR THIS WINNER. HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL PRICE/VALUE COMPARED TO THE BAVARIAN MINT. THE 2.7T IS MUCH FASTER THAN I THOUGHT AND THE COMFORT LEVEL OF RIDE IS ON PAR WITH MY WIFES LEXUS. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT 3 YEARS!

  High tech sedan - 2002 Audi A6
  By High performance sed - August 6 - 10:20 pm

  I use mainly for highway. I replaced air filter with K&N and new irridium plugs. I now get 26 to 28 mpg depending on whether I go 80 or 60 mph. I have had no problems and this car is built by the same people that make Porsche so everything is high performance, even the brake fluid. Thus more maintainance. It costs to go fast. I recently test drove a Mercedes S430 and as soon as I got back in my A6 4.2 it was far superior in road feel and handling. This is a double overhead cam V8 with 5 valves per cylinder. Ferrari is the only other car company with this sofistication. So if you want a mundane sedan this is not for you. This car is a race bred sedan down to the low profile tires.

  Still a great car. Better than new - 2002 Audi A6
  By Tim - December 21 - 3:46 pm

  This really is a great car. I has power, AWD, style and comfort. I have been looking to replace it recently with either an STS, G35, CTS and others, but I keep coming back to it. It is roomy for a family, much more than the above cars and the materials are quality, though not as much as my old 94. It is smooth, quiet and powerful. It is not cheap like most Japanese or domestic cars. If you buy these used with low miles they are an absolute steal. The turbo is great for power and you can add a chip for more power if you want.

  One year of ownership - 2002 Audi A6
  By 1st Audi A6 - September 19 - 9:27 am

  Ive owned this car for a year now and overall I am happy with the car. The A6 is a pure joy to drive. It is very quiet at highway speeds, is comfortable for long trips, theres lots of room in the back seat for adults, and the trunk is enormous. Parts and online forums are readily available for DIY work. Ive had one major problem: the transmission was repaired at 50,000. It took Audi 2 months to fix the car which is just too long. CV boots seem to be a regular repair item for Audi in general. I replaced one at 48k. Other than those two repairs the car has been problem-free. However, I recommend that if you buy an Audi then get one that is CPO or purchase an extended warranty. Check out your local dealers reputation as they can make or break your ownership experience.

  Impress yourself - 2002 Audi A6
  By Beckys - August 13 - 8:43 pm

  2.7T with 6 speed purchased certified used from Audi dealer. Our fourth Audi. Beautiful design inside and out and great build quality. Can feel a bit clumsy around town, with firm suspension and too light steering. Once over 45 it is all good, very good. Really shows itself after a long day driving in bad weather. You simply feel safe, secure and confident and when you wish, this 4,000 car will really scoot along. A sweet engine. Full size people can fit front and rear in the great seats. We maintain by book and have had only routine maintenance at 108,000 miles. Average about 25 MPG with 50% intersate driving.

  Go for it. - 2002 Audi A6
  By ARun - September 18 - 9:42 am

  I was looking for a pre-owned A4/BMW325/MercC230/LexIS300. The A6 4.2 Quattro wowed me. I have never driven such a smooth car before. Excellent power and handling. The styling is great. Have owned it for a month and it runs great with 52K miles. I am still discovering the features. I have yet not been able to test the Tiptronic system. Still figuring out how to make the telematics and Sirius work. I read each of the reviews on this site and agree with all the positive comments about the car.

  2002 Audi A6 2.7T quattro AWD - 2002 Audi A6
  By Alpha Dog - August 4 - 7:01 pm

  The A6 with twin-turbo and quattro is a thrill to drive - it offers spine-tingling acceleration throughout the gear and speed range and sticky, sure handling in all weather and road conditions - this is a four-door, all-wheel drive sports car with lots of room for driver and real adult passengers.

  i LOOOOOOOVE my AUDI A6 - 2002 Audi A6
  By AudiAdi - June 5 - 7:04 pm

  The words can not express how much I enjoy this Car. I had purchased this car a year ago in 2005 and I just absolutely love it. It rides beautifully and it is such an awesome car to look at. All my friends love to ride in it as the rear seat has such luxurious space and comfort.

  Top notch German performance car - 2002 Audi A6
  By P Gray - May 16 - 7:52 pm

  I bought this car pre-owned. I have had BMW 5 series before - great cars - but wanted to try AWD. This car has interior room, solid quality build and great performance. 2.7 turbo engine w/ 6 speed and 40 to 120 mph doesnt get any better. Superior handling but occasionally the sport suspension is harsh if you spend time on city streets. In winter, mount 4 snows, turn off the ESP and you will put every car, truck or SUV to shame on snowy roads. Remember to change the timing belt before 100k miles!

  Vroom . . . gasp - 2002 Audi A6
  By ak9 - February 27 - 12:04 am

  The ultimate luxury sleeper - one minute youre quietly cruising a residential street looking very stately - next minute the bi-turbo takes a deep breath and this torquey little spacecraft catapults you effortlessly into the traffic flow on the interstate doing 90. Very big trunk, roomy backseat and all the creature comforts - oh, and did I mention, all-wheel drive for those north country winters. Would have liked a little bit better gas mileage, but still beats the last Dodge and Ford sixes I owned on fuel efficiency. This is a very cushy rocket - dont miss it.
