  Wonderful Car - 2005 Audi A6
  By Lyndon Krans - March 25 - 8:51 pm

  Absolutely fun to drive. Handles very well and has excellent gas mileage for the size and horsepower of the vehicle. No problems with the car except for trunk latch had to be replaced. Exterior and interior designs are the best I have seen. A wonderful car to travel in... little driver fatigue on long trips as it is very comfortable to sit in.

  Happy Audi Owner - 2005 Audi A6
  By Rexy - February 7 - 8:53 pm

  My 2005 Audi A6 is very comfortable, has excellent hadling, and 4 wheel drive that works well in snowy Northeastern NY. Its workmanship and interior fit are exceptional. The MMI system is very intuitive and easy to use. This is the best car that I have ever owned. My dealership has been outstanding.

  Not So Sweet - 2005 Audi A6
  By dso72 - January 25 - 12:06 pm

  I bought this car and drove off the lot with a huge smile. The smile has turned to tears. This car was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Audi is a nightmare to deal with. I have had numerous problems with the electrical system. One thing after another. They were all safety issues and made the car undrivable. There were also issues with the Sirius radio, blue tooth, speakers, airbag, and more. I am not sure if it is just my car but I am going to assume that it is. My car has been in the shop over 30 days in the last 6 months. Audi really does not care. I would never buy another.

  Dont buy an Audi - 2005 Audi A6
  By denniso482 - January 1 - 10:01 pm

  This car was great the first 12 months. I have had numerous problems with the car, the dealer and Audi NA. I would not recommend that anyone buy an Audi. The car is very unreliable and not worth the money. Parts are never in stock and service is a joke. I think I will be going to a Lexus from here. There are some good features but the are all overshadowed by Audi business practices.

  Great Fun to Drive - 2005 Audi A6
  By RKK - December 19 - 7:10 am

  The A6 is extremely fun to drive. There really arent many negatives. One thing I noticed is that there are some interior pieces that started to "fall apart", such as the rear view mirror came disconnected, the panel on the drivers side came loose, and finally the A6 symbol on the back of the car broke. All this was easily replaced at no charge with their excellent service package that comes with the car (even if you buy it used). Positives: definitely a unique car, even in a big city like Chicago, fun to drive, the quattro is felt, especially in the snow when all those BMWs are slipping in the snow due to their rear-wheel drive and the room in the back is unreal.

  2005 Audi A6 Q - 2005 Audi A6
  By aga6Q - November 24 - 6:28 am

  Except for a trunk latch and a cd player replacement, no problems at all. This is my fourth Audi and its simply as good and reliable as my last two lexuses, but they handle like true german performance cars. Also nothing can compete with quattro in bad weather. We live in so Fla and still love the quattro in the rains we get here.

  A6 unreliable - 2005 Audi A6
  By CB - September 14 - 12:04 am

  Audi A6 drives beautifully when it works, but is very unreliable. Have had my A6 serviced for same problem of all of a sudden shutting down and not accelerating properly 5 times in last 3 months. EPS computer fault system continues to fail. At times wont change gears properly. Buyer beware, and Audi no longer offers free service. Audi so far is refusing to replace the vehicle despite servicing it 3 times for these same issue in last 3 weeks. If you like taking your car to the dealership for service a lot, this may be your car.

  Audi not what I thought it would be - 2005 Audi A6
  By Thew - August 20 - 9:17 pm

  Bought the 3.2 A6 a year ago and have been relatively pleased. Gas mileage and drive comfort have been good, and the car looks beautiful. Now the down side: I had a squeak in the rear passenger door that took the dealer 1 year to fix. No kidding. Odd issues with the electrical system have lead me to ask if I really bought an Audi. I always expected them to be top notch on fit and finish and they just missed the mark on this specific car. Wish others the best of luck.

  A Bum Rap - 2005 Audi A6
  By tomm - July 20 - 8:53 pm

  The new A6 is a great car. I did have one major electrical/computer melt- down - tow to dealer, then a few weeks (with an 06 A6 loaner) for the non- responsive ignition to be corrected, but all is fine since. This car gets about 30 mpg on the highway! I have wanted a "big" hybrid (sick of hearing about the small trunks, though). I need my cavernous A6 trunk for clubs (4 sets with the drivers and 3-woods out and criss-crossed atop) and other things. Dont buy any other mid-size until you drive this fun, fast and fuel efficient car. Tomm

  10+ for WOW Factor!! - 2005 Audi A6
  By MRamos - July 7 - 7:07 pm

  This is one great car. I was looking for the All Wheel Drive security blanket and after road testing AWD competitors I was about to give up when I found this beauty and immediately went for a test drive. I have never driven an Audi before and was not to sure what to expect. The A6 took off very smoothly but with a firm press of the gas pedal it launched like a rocket. I felt a sense of security in the stiffness of the body when taking some tight turns and the response of the steering was right on the money. Being a die hard Subaru owner for over 20 years it was hard to give into German engineering but needless to say I am completely sold on this car.
