Overview & Reviews
Stretch an A4 platform, add rounded styling with plenty of edges for character, toss in a sumptuously comfortable interior available in several "atmosphere" styles, blend it all with traditional Germanic handling and what do you get? The excellent new Audi A6 sedan. Our only quibble is with the taillights, which appear to have been inspired by the Chevrolet S-10 pickup. The wagon is carried over from 1997.
- Roomy inside. Impeccable road manners. Tastefully out fitted. Exceptionally comfortable. Optional all-wheel drive system.

CONTROL ARMS CONTROL ARMS - 1998 Audi A6
By MIjack - May 21 - 2:00 amI had constant problems with the control arms. I spent over $5000 in maintance in 2 years. Beautiful ride, spacious interior, & a nightmare to maintain.

Beautiful but Poor Quality - 1998 Audi A6
By Gerryfs - February 12 - 2:00 amMany issues with this car. Transmission problem ($6,000 repair!!) Low front end getting caught on parking barriers, Fuel injectors (Dealer said dont start the car, pull it out of garage and turn off - not good for the engine.) - Cost me almost 2000 to replace injectors and other assorted fuel and electronics to"fix" But it is beatiful to drive and look at 2.8 is adequate but not exciting. Audi should do something about the reliability.

Love the car - Hate the repairs - 1998 Audi A6
By Doctor Liz - February 10 - 2:00 amGreat looking and riding car, but impossible to keep running. By 60,000 miles it had a new water pump ($800) and needed new valve gaskets, cam gasket, axle flange gaskets and a new rear differential. I thought I was going to miss the luxury when I traded it in, but it was a real relief to get rid of the expensive repairs. The Audi dealership had the attitude "if you dont have enough income to be giving lots of money to us - tough"

Love the car - hate the repairs - 1998 Audi A6
By Liz in Des Moines - January 23 - 2:00 amThis car drives like a dream. But with only 60,000 miles on it I have had to replace the water pump, replace all the valve gaskets and the rear differential gasket. I am averaging almost $400 a month in maintenance and repairs. I am really going to miss the comfort, luxury, and handling of this car when I trade it in on a more reliable, less expensive car to own.

This Car Saved My Life - 1998 Audi A6
By CarChick - July 20 - 2:00 amThis is a great car. Not only does it look beautiful, but it is extremly safe. I walked away from a horrible accident w/ only a broken hand. I also got many compelements on the unique look of the car from total strangers. It was very fun to drive, but it did get poor gas mileage (19- 24mpg). The only complaint i have about the body is that the front end sits very low and can easily be damaged by concrete parking barriers. Granted I only had my A-6 for 4mos and 4,000 miles, but i would recommend the car.

Smooooooth! - 1998 Audi A6
By KevinS - May 8 - 2:00 amI like this car it gets many compliments fron other drivers and passengers it handles well in any weather it has more room than you might think just looking at it. The sound system it great. You might not out speed other high end cars but more than likely youll out handle and out style them with this car.

By Jake C. - April 9 - 2:00 amSo far the car has been very reliable. I enjoy the smoooth ride but it could use a little more power. Bose sound system is great! Large trunk.
