A No Brainer!!! - 2005 Audi A6
By First Audi, not last - August 8 - 6:33 pmLike everyone else here, I was looking for a luxury, mid-sized sedan. I considered the Infiniti-M35, the Mercedes E class and the BMW 5-series, however threw it out quickly because of the new design. Looks cheap. The A6 is luxury throughout, is a head- turner and performs great. First gear hesitates slightly, but the rest of the gears leave little to be desired. Overall acceleration is terrific. Considering the price was $10k less than BMW/Mercedes and $5 less than the Infiniti, it was a no brainer. For all the negative press Ive read about the MMI, dont believe the hype, its a great feature, extremely easy to use and not a distraction at all. Audi wins a new fan!!

needs better attention to details - 2005 Audi A6
By don - August 5 - 10:15 amThis is really a great car spoiled by a few problems, the throttle response in stop and go traffic is horrible, the brakes grab and the car has more rattles than a baby. On the plus side a great ride with outstanding fuel economy. I purchased a fully loaded 6 rather than the 8 with fewer options and 6 is just fine. Overall the execution is ok, however for the money the E320 is the better option as Audi missed a few easy to fix issues

Oh what a feeling... - 2005 Audi A6
By American in Bavaria - August 1 - 1:29 pmIm fortunate to live and work in Germany so I can occassionally unleash the A6s full potential on the autobahn. At 135 MPH (speed governed) it rides like its painted on the road. Smooth as silk with no vibrations or nervousness (except from my passengers). Servotronic keeps steering input moderated and, if needed I can stop on a dime if a wayward Opel pulls into the left lane. I wish all A6 owners had the opportunity to wring out the German engineering that went into this car on the autobahn. They would be doubly impressed with their Audi. Besides the high speed performance, Im impressed with its quality. After 8000 plus miles, not one problem (except that darn speed governor!).

Great Car !! - 2005 Audi A6
By fourrings - July 31 - 11:55 pmWe absolutely love it and this is our second Audi. Drove to Vegas from the Bay Area and the car performed very well considering the extreme desert heat(116 degrees).Could use more horsepower but im satisfied with it..Great gas mileage.

Worth The Wait! - 2005 Audi A6
By Steve - July 27 - 10:28 pm1040 miles on my new 4.2 and not a single flaw. Exceptionally quiet and a smoother ride than what Ive read in various reviews. The car is fun to drive and the $9K extra for the 4.2 may just be worth the extra sizzle in performance. I ordered all the options, including the solor sun roof which works well during these recent hot and dry triple digit Nevada summer days. I too switched from a 2005 5 Series BMW purchase order after taking a last minute visit to the Audi store. Fit, finish, ride all helped to change my mind. Quattro is a must during those long Lake Tahoe winters, something BMW is still trying to perfect.

Really Nice Car - 2005 Audi A6
By JMAX - July 24 - 1:17 pmWonderful car to look at and drive. Lots of nice touches and an interior that is beautiful. It cruises really nice on the road -- have to be careful and watch how fast you really are going.

3rd Audi & love this the best by far - 2005 Audi A6
By Rich - July 21 - 8:07 pmWanted an 04 A8L and "settled" for an 05 A6 and Im very glad I did. Black/Amaretto combo is beautiful and the interior looks (and acts) nearly as big as an A8 ... but not quite. Great highway cruiser!

A new Audi fan! - 2005 Audi A6
By NewAudiFan - July 17 - 12:25 amI was in the market for a new mid-size luxury car: as others who have posted, I had my mind set on a BMW 5 series. I had a friend recommend I take a look at the A6 before purchasing my BMW and Im glad I did. From its supple luxurious interior to the many gadgets (advanced key, MMI and Bluetooth capability), this car has truly been everything Ive ever wanted in a car (and more). After performing extensive research, I found that the A6 was definitely the best car for the money, particularly when a comparably equipped BMW 5 series and Mercedes Benz E-class could easily cost you an extra $7 - $10k.

Audi A6, Awesome Car - 2005 Audi A6
By jerri - July 4 - 8:28 amIve owned my car 3 mos and Ive never been more pleased with any car before. Lots of power, sure-footed as a cat, sexy lines, smooth as silk, fabulously rich interior, and a head turner. What more can I say I havent gotten this much car attention since my Plymouth Prowler. And Ive had 2 M/Bnzs, a Jag, a Lexus, 2 BMWs, a Vette, a Miata and a few pick-ups & SUVs. I sorta wish Id gotten the 4.2 V8, but decided the 3.2 V6 was powerful enough. Besides, I could spend the extra $9k on a cruise and some clothes. My car is one major conversation piece. If you really check it out, you to will love it and become an AUDIPHILE.

This car rocks - 2005 Audi A6
By KevinGary - June 30 - 11:22 pmMy 05 4.2 is a great car. It accelerates and handles extremely well. Though the gas mileage is rather low and the 18" tires give it a harsh ride. It is alot of fun in the snow. I find myself looking for hills to go up. The swivel headlights make night driving a snap. The solar sunroof keeps the car cool in summer and warm in winter. The advanced key means that I never have to look for my keys. The voice recognition and bluetooth make cell calls easy. Though the MMI can be a little imposing at first. The satelite radio is a must. My children love the television monitors in the headrests, the heated rear seats and rear window shades. My wife and I love the safety of rear airbags.
