This Year's Model Updates:

The A6 gets a new 220-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 to replace last year's 2.8-liter. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available on front-wheel-drive models with this engine. Other mechanical changes this year include stronger brakes, an improved stability control system and BrakeAssist. OnStar telematics makes its way onto the options list, and you'll be pleased to find a standard six-disc changer in the dashboard. Styling in and around the car, such as the head and taillamps, is slightly modified and new interior and exterior colors expand your choices.

Pros:
  • Large selection of engines, well-appointed interior, all-wheel-drive stability.
Cons:
  • Non-linear steering, questionable exterior styling.

  • Booming - 2002 Audi A6

    A6 2,7 Biturbo 250 HP Quattro Tiptronic really rules, especially on the tight mountain curves, where no M5 or AMG or the horrible SUVs can keep up!

  • Great Car - 2002 Audi A6
    By -

    After a 4 month wait (factory order), I finally got my A6 and it is worth the wait. The acceleration of this vehicle is very good. You can feel it off the block and at high speeds. The sports package is an excellent option. I have not put the Quattro all-wheel drive to test yet. The fuel milage is very bad. My average is only about 16 mi/ga., probably because of my short city drive from home to work.

  • Its Good But It Could Be Great!! - 2002 Audi A6
    By -

    The A6 is a great looking and great driving car but the small problems that arise detract from the cars appeal. On day one the window motors were a problem and they have been a problem for the past 35 months. Add to this heated seats that dont always heat and a heated steering wheel that never heated (it took the dealer 12 months to "resolve" the problem and it was never really fixed). Lastly, dashboard indicators go dark periodically. Do you think they have an electrical issue to resolve at Audi?

    Excellent Quality and interior design. Good handling automobile. Horsepower is weak, needs more power from 0 to 60.

  • Fun Car - 2002 Audi A6
    By -

    Bought it 5 month ago and have no regrets what so ever. This car is fun to drive and offers plenty of space for the family. Rented a 2.5 TDI in Europa last month and Audi should offer this engine in the US as well. That car rocks.

  • Why buy Mercedes? - 2002 Audi A6
    By -

    This car is great!! Leased this car . Black on black sport, premium, luxury, convience pkgs. For 46,800 you get the same space, performance, build quality,trim etc., as the mercedes E430 4matic for 15,000 less! Acceleration is strong with minimal turbo lag. Exterior design is aging, but very gracefully. The best bang for your buck midsize luxury car in my opinion. I am very pleased with this car. The salesman was also first rate, straightforward and no B.S. Very customer orientated.

  • This car is a trap! - 2002 Audi A6
    By -

    I bought my 2.8 avant in 1999. In the first 36 months, it worked fine. But only a week after the warrenty expired, the water pump broken, and cost me $1000 to fix. I had heard this kind of case before I bought the car, but I didnt pay much attention. Be careful, this car could cost you much more than you expected.

  • Best Value in Market - 2002 Audi A6
    By -

    I bought a loaded 3.0 CVT after shopping against the BMW 530i. With the same identical options, the Audi was $12,000 cheaper out the door while having more interior and cargo room than the BMW. Quality and reliability has been first rate. The CVT is a breakthrough technology for this size of car. The interior is the best in the industry. The A6 is simply the best value buy in the luxury car segment.

  • Very Happy! - 2002 Audi A6
    By -

    To put my rating in perspective, I came out of 3 yrs in a BMW 535, and 3 yrs in a 540. This car is a very pleasant surprise. Very nice response from the twin turbo-kicked engine. Optional sport package suspension w/ 17" wheels and Dunlop 9090s provides excellent road handling in the twisties. Looking forward to the Quattro here in Minnesota. If the BMWs were "10/10ths", this 2.7T is 8.5/10ths, and for the money, Ill take it.

  • No title - 2002 Audi A6
    By -

    I love this car. I actually purchased the 2000 model, but they didnt have anywhere for me to sound off, so Im doing it here. I recently had to decide whether or not to trade in my A6 for a BMW 530 and I actually started to cry at the thought of giving up my car. Needless to say, my A6 is still safely parked in my driveway.
