  So long BMW!!! - 2005 Audi A6
  By Hawaii Driver - June 2 - 5:59 pm

  After driving 8 BMWs in my life, I finally had to admit that the 5 series interior is just getting too cramped for 4 people to ride in comfortably. I looked at the A6 and was SO impressed with the handling, the fit and finish and the power that I never even went back to the BMW dealer. I DID compare the car with the Lexus GS, but the road feel of the Lexus doesnt come close to that of the Audi. This car rocks!

  Best A6 Ever - 2005 Audi A6
  By turbotaupetoad - May 17 - 3:59 pm

  Audi redid the A6 last year and made massive improvements. The A6 I leased in 99 was underpowered and should have been a 3.0 rather than 2.4. Consequently, I switched to a Mercedes E320 4-matic and thought I would never drive another Audi again. However, the E350 that replaced the E320 is just awful, so I tried the redesigned A6 and fell in love all over again. My 2005 Audi A6 3.0 has all the power it needs and is beautifully designed, inside and outside. But most importantly, it handles with the precision and nimbleness I expect from a Quattro, especially in the rain.

  Audi A6 - 2005 Audi A6
  By johne - May 9 - 1:16 pm

  This is a great car. Fabulous styling. Interior is immaculate and beautiful. The motor is good...plenty fast for me and great up mountain passes. Much more stiff than old Audis. The sound system is awesome. The gas mileage could be a bit better. There is plenty of interior room. Seats are comfortable. All the "right" features. It aint cheap and you can get very good cars for $10K less, but it would be hard to beat this car for the price.

  Purchased NEW 2005 A6 - January 2006 - 2005 Audi A6
  By SPM - April 8 - 11:58 am

  Formerly owned a 2001 A6, and after buying a 2005.5 A4 for my wife, I spent hundreds of hours researching/driving. After driving every car I knew, I wanted the new A6. The A6 was the finest interior/exterior/engine combo I had ever driven, I purchased a 2005 A6 3.2 AWD with Bose, Sunshades, Tan leather, 17" custom wheels, Premium Pkg., Tech. Pkg without Nav. Adding Nav for $1400 next week. What a car. For me it is PERFECT!

  Great car! - 2005 Audi A6
  By bbdholmes - March 12 - 5:11 pm

  This is the best car Ive ever owned, it is hard to keep it under 70 mph and 100 mph feels like 60 in other cars. Quality has been terrific, the navigation works extremely well, and the sound system is great as well. I bought the V6, and other than a rare occasional need for more snap I think I made the right choice. The gas mileage in and around the city averages about 20mpg.

  Mid-Life Crisis Aversion Mobile - 2005 Audi A6
  By Chris Laing - March 2 - 11:06 pm

  Audi is really running circles around its competitors with this awesome car! I still have not tired of finding any excuse to take the A6 3.2 for a drive. Light steering, quiet and comfortable ride around town make it feel like a limo in L.A. traffic. Step on the gas on PCH or the 5 Freeway north to San Francisco and try staying under the speed limit. This car is a joy to drive. Its very powerful and responsive when you need it. At all times, its controlled power in a car that feels substantial and safe. Driving through a torrential rainstorm to San Francisco, we felt in complete control. Plenty of power in a crisis, like the time we chased a road- rager at 100 uphill.

  Wonderful Saloon - 2005 Audi A6
  By Alexandra Caras - February 1 - 1:08 am

  This is a beautifully executed automobile- I looked at the 545i Sport and the E-500 4Matic, but the A6 4.2 just blew the competition away. It has the most jewel- like interior of the bunch, the best, most timeless style, and the most comfortable cruising, yet slightly hard-edged, performance. Great features- nice extras like power start and electric glovebox, and wonderful navigation and MMI systems.

  10,000 miles later - 2005 Audi A6
  By JRamieri - January 15 - 4:06 pm

  I look for reasons to drive. This is the first sedan Ive owned in 12 years always having driven SUVs during that period. My previous was the Infiniti FX 45 AWD. This car is quick, comfortable, civilized and elegant. Excellent handing and very good in the snow. The trans is smooth as silk. Fit and finish are top notch.

  Wonder improvement - 2005 Audi A6
  By greg - December 27 - 10:19 pm

  I had a 2004 A6 and traded it for a 2005. The ride is vastly improved, as is the comfort and amenities. The gadgetry takes a little getting used to, but is well worth it. No complaints whatsoever.

  More money - more car - 2005 Audi A6
  By swifty - December 17 - 11:17 am

  Going from a 2002 A6 to a 2005 induces sticker shock. The sticker shock is over quickly, but the fun remains. The car has a bigger feel than the 2002, but the handling is better. The navigation system is terrific if you take the time to learn it and keep at it. But be careful not to get preoccupied with the nav system and forget about driving - it is easy to forget to keep your eyes on the road and not the screen. Acceleration is much better than the previous 3.0 - ride is much stiffer now - great "feel" for the road, but the passengers will have to acclimate if they are accustomed to a soft ride. Large trunk - smaller opening than the 2002. A great car that is fun to drive.
