  Not very good service - 2005 Audi A6
  By Deb - February 25 - 11:15 am

  In 3 years this car has not had any big issues until recently. Since the dealer replaced a recall part of a fuel filter or pump, the car periodically does not start. Eventually it does (I havent had to be towed yet). It has been in repair regularly since October and they say it is not replicating what I describe. After several attempts at this, the dealer now has called in a special engineer to work on my car. I am now driving a low budget A4 loaner as the dealer still has my car and has not returned any of my calls. Audi USA service is just as unresponsive and very robotic with all of their responses. They are of no help.

  The Best Yet - 2005 Audi A6
  By Lee - February 18 - 12:53 pm

  This is the 9th Audi I have owned since 1996.This car is by far the best vehicle I have ever driven. The car handles very well. The new 6 speed transmission is both smooth and firm. The new interior is sensational and utilitarian. The 3.2 engine has plenty of power and git go for me. Audi has outdone themselves with the new A6. My car has almost all of the options with the exception of the sport package and the 18 inch wheels.

  Best in class - 2005 Audi A6
  By iamsville - November 21 - 10:55 am

  This is my first Audi and am happy! Very refined interior, lots of features but not gimmicky. Excellent ride and quattro is amazing. Little roll in corners, excellent brakes and pick up. 30 mpg on highways and can take regular fuel if pushed. Nice looking exterior though the grill stands out. Though Im on my 3rd read of the manual, the MMI is generally intuitive and you can get the basics without reading anything. Generally, a great performing car with excellent road manners. Is sporty, quiet, elegant, frugal, refined and satisfying. I like just sitting in it and my family too.

  Buy anything else! - 2005 Audi A6
  By Rhyse - September 3 - 10:18 am

  I bought an A6 CPO vehicle last May thinking that I was buying a premium vehicle and a premium dealer experience. Wrong on both accounts. In the first 6 months my car was at the dealers service department for 30 days total with not much to show except more frustration and gray hair than I would have liked. The car drives and handles like a dream, however, the cacophony of squeaks, groans, creaks and rattles from the interior is enough to drive a sane man to insanity!

  Audi 05 Rocks! - 2005 Audi A6

  Love the car. Not one problem except for the tires which I had to replace at 25k miles (bummer!).

  47,000 Miles My Last Audi ? - 2005 Audi A6
  By PGM - June 28 - 2:31 pm

  This is my second Audi, I had an A4 3.0 Quattro that I just loved. While I had several issues with the A4 (failed ignition coils & cam pulley came loose), I still decided to buy the A6. I have had nearly as many quality and dependability issues since purchased. The most disappointing is a hesitation upon first drive of the day. I gave the dealer 4 tries before contacting Audi US. Still not fixed, so I will get rid of it in the fall. This car is beautiful inside and out. It is very difficult to drive smoothly, the steering is overboosted. I have always wished you could dial it down using MMI, why not, it is electronic? Speaking of MMI, simple and works great.

  Love this car! - 2005 Audi A6
  By KnappAttack - June 3 - 9:10 am

  This is my second Audi. First was a 2002 A6 2.7t which I really liked. This new A6 is even better. I was leaning towards the Infiniti M35x, tried one with 12,000 miles on it, Id rather keep my 2002 Audi. Im glad I found this 4.2. I immediately knew this was the car for me. I also tried the Acura RL and didnt think much of it. Nice car, just not as good as the Audi. Purchased mine used with the sport pkg, advanced key, bose stereo, navi, and cant say enough about it. Ill average around 22 actual MPG. Excellent mileage for a 335 HP V8. Were now going to purchase a A4 for my wife. Amazing car!

  Great Ride - 2005 Audi A6
  By QT - May 10 - 8:56 pm

  My husband and I were originally looking at the 540i and decided on a whim to go to Audi in which we found we got more options for the same price. The ride if smooth and comfortable. The car itself is a lot bigger than expected.

  A great car! - 2005 Audi A6
  By liferules - April 22 - 9:33 pm

  Im on my 500th mile now and am still very happy with my decision to purchase this C6 Audi. What a peppy ride! Especially in the sport or tiptronic modes. The outside appearance is very stylish yet sophisticated IMO. The interior is elegant and comfortable. Both driver and passenger seats are 12-way. The sound system (Bose) is phenominal...better than home! The MMI is easy to use, and the steering wheel controls make it even easier. I have the keyless and nav, both of which I am more than impressed with. Overall, a very nice, quality ride. The "thunk" of the door closing reflects the quality of build.
