  creature comforts - 2005 Audi A6
  By tom - June 18 - 1:42 pm

  I test drove the BMW 530xi series looking for all wheel drive to navigate colorado weather. I had my heart set and even put down a deposit to reserve the in-demand car. Then I decided to test drive the audi A6 to find out why every other car on the road in Boulder is an audi. Lets just say I drove away from the dealer in an 05 A6. The main reason I chose the A6 over the 530xi was the interior comfort of the car. It is truly luxurious as opposed to the stripped down beamer interior. The power is nice but nothing to write home about but the accomadations (mmi, nav, voice control, audio) make one feel like very executive.

  First 2000 mile impressions - 2005 Audi A6
  By JRamieri - June 17 - 7:34 pm

  The car is a joy to drive. Has a lot of power and the "Sport" mode on the trans is great. I love the new aggressive looking front and the understated elegance of its syle. The interior is as close to perfect that I can think of. No rattles or noise. The MMI takes a bit of learning to master but once done is intuitive. The premium sound system is so good that I almost hate to get out of the car while listening. I actually wish I had a longer commute. I dont like the absence of body side mouldings for protection from the inevitable dings so I installed aftermarket ones. The voice commands and Bluetooth feature as well as the DVD Nav system are great fun. The Nav system is excellent.

  Great Redesign - 2005 Audi A6
  By DRM - June 15 - 1:10 pm

  This is my second Audi and I love it! It is a sheer pleasure to drive, handles in snow with aplomb, has styling that turns heads, and the interior wow! So far this car has exceeded my expectations in a newly designed car from the ground up. I will definitely buy Audi again.

  Amazing Quality - 2005 Audi A6
  By Mark - June 12 - 10:38 am

  I have had my 3.2 A6 for 3 months now and have never been back to the dealer, not once. There has not been one single thing that needed repair or adjusting. My Blackberry 7100T works perfectly with the exception of downloading the phone list and took 3 minutes to pair. I love how I can be on the phone and start the car and it switches seamlessly over to speaker. Once you get used to the MMI, it works great... even the voice recognition. Ride, handling, transmission, A/C, stereo and nav are wonderful. The interior is much better quality than BMW or Mercedes. People compliment me frequently on the cars beauty. Audi is the new standard in German luxury.

  Buyer Beware - 2005 Audi A6
  By Buyer Beware - June 12 - 1:21 am

  I made the mistake of buying the A6 with the V8 and the Sports Suspension. This car is better with standard suspension and all season tires for sure. The combo I bought makes the car ride way too stiff. Also - the outside temp indicator randomly malfunctions and reads 15-20 degress lower than the temp really is. Seems that this is occuring when the A/C is on. Dealer refuses to do anything because it doesnt happen when they have the car. The automatic transmission is the worst I have ever driven - it switches way to fast when starting from a stop. THere is no vent only setting on the climate control - I have never heard of such a thing!!

  Total Package - 2005 Audi A6
  By jramieri - June 11 - 6:24 pm

  The car is great to drive..lots of power and the interior is flawless. The premium sound system is the best Ive experienced in a stock OEM unit. The CD changer is poorly placed in the glove compartmenbt with no in dash CD player. The Tiptronic and sport modes for the trans are fun. The car, however, looks like ten thousand others and is undistinguished. Smooth, quick and elegant. I love getting into it each morning and am sorry to leave it. Power steering is a tad too light and brakes a bit too touchy.

  love the new A6!!! - 2005 Audi A6
  By barry fain - June 11 - 1:31 pm

  I traded in a 1999 A8 for the new 2005 A6. Wow!!! Even with the smaller engine the car gives me a lot more get up and go than this cowboy could possibly need. Given that I live in a heavy snow area, the added weight of the A6 (compared to the sometime too light old A8) and of course the four wheel drive, made this baby cruise through our snowy streets, especially the hill I must negotiate to get home each night. The creature comforts are outstanding and I actually find excuses to go on journeys now... aided by both the navigation system and sirius radio. In short, I have fallen in love with this baby and look forward to many years together.

  Satisfied Owner But Waiting to See - 2005 Audi A6
  By Herbert Hunter - June 11 - 12:34 pm

  When I lease this car, with 400 miles on the odometer, there was a vibration in the steering wheel and on the floor of the car. After returning it twice, and wheel balancing and an exchange of driveshaft from another car and new wheels, it took the dealership at least three weeks to find out the nature of the probem and hopefully correct it. Not what you would expect with a new car of such "high quality." The air conditioning system gadgets are too complicated to use.Too many Elvis Presly selections in the Sirus, no Blues as I recall.
