  Love to Drive - 2005 Audi A6
  By Terry - July 13 - 9:33 pm

  I have owned my A6 for four years and 70k miles. Problems: 1. Trunk latch needed replacing at 10k. 2. Push button start would not work at 30k but only needed a software update. 3. Brake pads replaced twice and rotors once. 4. back up sensors stopped working at 53k just after warranty expired. 5. Something is rattling in the door at 75k and will have it checked out. I have low profile, performance tires and need to replace at each 25k. However, I have had to replace five tires due to damage. Thats all the bad. The good is that the car is very attractive, solid and drives great. Lots of fun. Overall, I am very happy with the car would recommend it to anyone.

  Excellent value in a luxury sedan! - 2005 Audi A6
  By Ken - June 18 - 9:00 am

  The Audi Quattro system in my Audi A6 4.2 will spoil you really quickly. I find it quite a transition to drive the Asian front drive imports now. The power and agility shadows Mercedes-Benz models of equal price. The Multi Media / Navigation (MMI)configuration is far superior to the BMW set up. The Audi MMI is the best on the market.

  World-Class Luxury - 2005 Audi A6
  By Stahlmann46 - April 24 - 7:01 am

  I bought my A6 with 23000 miles in Nov. 08. Have never regretted it. Previously owned a 1998 A6. Wow, what a difference in performance and ride. The MMI system took some getting used to but is no problem once you figure out the logic behind it. I have had only one problem so far -- the memory for the seat and mirror settings was not working. It was a software problem that was fixed by the dealer under warranty. The handling of the vehicle is superb. Acceleration is smooth and very responsive. Surprisingly, the fuel economy on the highway is also very good for vehicle this size. In my trip to work (21 miles with 90% highway and 10% local), I typically get between 27 and 28 mpg. Local is 19.

  Superb Car! - 2005 Audi A6
  By NJA6fan - December 4 - 5:30 am

  After 115,000 miles in our 98 A4, we drove most of the available all-wheel options and chose the A6. We have been extremely pleased. The car handles beautifully, as if its magnetically connected to the road. The acceleration is strong, yet we get decent mileage (low 20s). The interior is luxurious and very comfortable. MMI allows custom control over virtually every aspect of the car, yet is not so complicated that you feel intimidated. An excellent job!

  Very happy with a few exceptions - 2005 Audi A6
  By Rizzo - August 26 - 4:40 pm

  I bought this car CPO (22k miles, nav, premium, convenience pkgs, parktronic, etc for $30.2). So far, it has been a joy to drive. I came from a 02 330i that I loved very much as I needed more room/AWD. For sure this is a very different car - less sport, more luxury as you would expect. Smooth ride, solid feeling and great looks/design. A bit disappointed in that there are some creaks and rattles (spoiled again by my 330i which was drum tight after 56k)

  By didy Adansi - August 7 - 7:26 pm

  What an amazing improvement over from the older model. This machine is like none other, I have allso driven around in the new M5 and to my wonder this is a more dynamic car. It is unlike anything else that I have had the pleasure of driving. Great job Audi.

  An absolute blast to drive! - 2005 Audi A6
  By Fearlessinfuquay - July 22 - 11:18 pm

  I purchased my Audi with reservations. My research revealed that customer service was awful (not true) - and that I would have endless problems, especially with oil leaks. I did have a rear cam leak, under warranty, and the dealer took care of it right away. It is a beautiful car, inside and out. It feels like youre in a cockpit. Took a bit to learn how to work the MMI system, but once I did, it all made sense. Controls are extremely driver friendly, and for low profile tires (traded 18" high performance for 17" all purpose tires - big difference), it is a surprisingly smooth ride. She handles and responds beautifully. This car is an absolute blast to drive. I couldnt be happier!

  I love my CPO A6 4.2 - 2005 Audi A6
  By A4 to A8 - April 4 - 1:21 pm

  Bought car CPO from a dealer. Used to own a 2004 A4 3.0 Quattro and fell in love after test driving the A6. Although used, general build quality is great and car drives smooth
