  1999 audi avant--my 6th audi--best yet! - 1999 Audi A6
  By wyogold - February 15 - 4:00 am

  great all-around, all-season automobile...comfort and poise whether driving through southern wyoming mountain passes, or down I-25 to the denver airport (unless you lose key going thru customs and have to rent a car plus shell out $187 for new laser- cut key)...overall a great automobile that I still enjoy driving...

  Worst car we have ever owned - 1999 Audi A6
  By ezondag - February 10 - 12:34 am

  We purchased our 1999 Audi A6 with 3,000 miles on it (it was a dealer demo). We drove it to 69,000 miles and had to make the following repairs: recalls new fuel indicator 2x, blinker system, new radiator, waterpump, break discs 2x, front rocker arms. Some of this work was done under warrenty. At the last oil change ($62) we were told the transmission was leaking and it needed new torsion arms or something (again) The repair bill would be $1,700. I own a Toyota with 266,000 miles on it and never repaired any of the above. We retired the Audi and bought another Toyota. We saw similar Audis on Ebay, selling for $8,000!

  My 1999 Audi A6 is a pleasure. It is smooth, quiet, and handles well on winding roads. It is a bit sluggish from stops though. It has comfortable seating in the front and rear. Its fun to drive in the snow. What a great looking car.

  High maintenance - 1999 Audi A6
  By George Burnetz - February 6 - 10:20 pm

  I bought a 1999 Audi A6 as certified vehicle with a two year warranty. One month before the warranty went up, the water pump went out while I was doing 80 mph on a trip out of town. The pump went out causing the engine to lock up and timing belt to come off. After all was said and done (6 weeks later), the costs for repair was around $15,000. I searched for warranties to extend the car from 60,000 miles to 100,000 miles but the cheapest I could find was $2,000. I chose not to get one because I didnt think I would spend that much in repairs. Shortly after, the alternator went out costing $500. The whole front bumper and radiator has to be removed to get to it. Its almost impossible to do repairs yourself and finding an independent repair shop is just as hard.

  Fix the electrics! - 1999 Audi A6
  By jamccann - November 17 - 3:01 pm

  My 1999 Audi A6 Sedan is fun to drive, but is slow off the line unless you use the tiptronic shifter in first gear and stomp on it. The ride is soft for hard driving but very comfortable. The power options crap out and nit pick you too death. Basically I like the car though.

  Audi Lack of Assurance - 1999 Audi A6
  By lkjl - August 24 - 2:00 am

  Car has been great with minor problems until 90k. Brought the car into the dealership for its last checkup and they found all sorts of leaks and guess what Audi Assured said. Sorry......we cant cover them. I am very disappointed because until now I was a big fan. I would not recommend this car or company to anyone

  Awesome A6 - 1999 Audi A6
  By dreiter - July 11 - 2:00 am

  Rock solid car, even after 50,000 miles. Every aspect of this car is well engineered and manufactured. Audi dealer treats me with respect and takes excellent care of the care. Warranty issues dealt with promptly and efficiently.

  This vehicle has offered nothing but pleasure and lots of dependability. It is a great design that will age gracefully.

  Too Unreliable - 1999 Audi A6
  By RJWC - April 22 - 2:00 am

  Overpriced & very sluggish from lights, roars like a bull when driven hard. Poor quality interior (Rear cargo cover & first aid kit door broken, illegible radio display when cold, fading dash display when hot) Oil Leak, burns a lot of oil, fuel sensors replaced 3 times, Xenon light replaced due to moisture absorption, Intermittent rear cargo light operation (dealer unable to find cause) Safe car, handles well but well below par performance for a car of this price. The quality of these cars is hit and miss. If you get a good one youre lucky, if you get a lemon like me, youll never buy another. Car was be returned to bank after 2 years lease (14000 miles).

  Bought it with 18000 on it,now its 57000,no problem whatsoever .At first I thought I stepped "down" after driving 93 740I for awhile.Perfomance felt kinda "sluggish".Then I realised than if U leave transmission in the 4 position there is not much difference between either two.I switch in D only on freeway,as soon as speedo shows 80. Works for me.I do most of the cars out of holeshot.Torgue is not what the number says,its how and when it delivered.
