  Save your Money! - 2001 Audi A6
  By LH - March 27 - 8:41 pm

  There are many pros behind this car. It has a beautiful interior, it is fun to drive, it handles better than most other cars and has amazing pick up. The cons, however, completely out weigh the pros. This car was purchased certified pre owned with 36K miles. Within the first year, it has broken down(thermostat overheated and coolant tank cracked), and has been taken in 18 times due to various problems (ie- when driving the automatic, it would slip into 2nd gear for no reason), and has most recently required a new transmission. I regret falling for the aestetics and strongly recommend anyone against the Audi. Its not worth the headache.

  so far so great - 2001 Audi A6
  By instanton - December 7 - 11:05 am

  We have the six-speed and there is no hint of turbo lag. I get 23+ mpg on combined city/highway driving (probably because I dont always drive like I have something to prove). Acceleration is amazing when needed, and the engine picks up anywhere from 1.5Krpm upwards in any gear. we got the sport suspension and sport wheels, which means I can go around corners practically with no braking. Saves wear and tear on the brakes and gives the kids a thrill :-). The stereo (Symphony) is excellent. Bought it used with 51K mi for less than 17K$. Try getting something with the feature set (Xenons, auto-dimming mirrors, power heated leather ...) in other brands for anything close.

  Great Value - 2001 Audi A6
  By C - December 4 - 11:44 pm

  Very happy, great car all around. Only complaint would be that the suspension can is a bit soft for my liking when pushing it in the corners.

  Longing for reliability - 2001 Audi A6
  By Jackson - November 18 - 5:11 pm

  By far the most unreliable car Ive had. Bought the car use as "Certified Pre-Owned" with 32000 miles on it. The car was wonderful the first 3 months, the the problems started. In the next 6 months, it spent more time at the dealership than in my garage. Most problems were of electrical nature. Bottom line ..... save yourself a lot of trouble by avoiding this car and this manufacturer all together.

  Turbo - 2001 Audi A6
  By Steve J - November 14 - 11:12 pm

  This car is awesome! You cant compare the features and technology Audi incorporates into its car to BMW for the price. The Turbo rips once you get going above 30 and its the safest car Ive ever driven. The power assist steering is a joy around town and at high speeds the car really locks down. Heated back seats are a crowd pleaser and if you ski its has a split seat and ski pass through. Put a good pair or tires on it and youll love this car.

  A Great Car - 2001 Audi A6
  By Cameron - November 5 - 9:19 am

  I love this car! Bought it new and have had one electrical problem with radio that was covered under warrenty, but thats it. 10,000 miles between oil changes cant be beat. Very reliable and safe - best 4wd vehicle around for on street winter driving.

  Constant problems - 2001 Audi A6
  By jchambers - October 13 - 2:00 am

  great performance and comfort. quattro is bonus in New England weather--but Ive had transmission and electronic problem ever since I drove it off the lot. I have the 4.2 LOADED, the car was $52K- I expected so much more for that kind of money and a german automobile. Will never get one again or recommnend to anyone.Thank God its a lease.

  May be Im just lucky... - 2001 Audi A6
  By Boris - October 6 - 4:06 pm

  ... but I havent had any problems. Its an awesome car, well engineered, quite reliably built considering the number of features it has. Audi brand is definitely underrated in North America, but it is one of the hottest in Europe. Every time I get into my Audi I feel better already. It is excellent for highway cruising, but it also easily reveals its sporty character when pushed a little bit harder. And one more thing - safety. This is my second Audi A6, the first one was totaled after I was T-boned by Mercedes SUV at about 50 mph - pretty nasty collision. Not a slightest injury to myself, thanks to the side airbags and rigid body structure.

  Buy one pre owned - 2001 Audi A6
  By Jeff - September 27 - 12:42 pm

  I purchased my A6 4.2 from an Audi dealership, If there are any reliability issues I am going to assume they are already taken care of, the car is quick, fun to drive and is not afraid in bad weather even with 300 ponies going to the ground (thank you quattro) my best advice, see if they have service records on the car you wish to purchase, and ask them what was done to the car before they put in on the lot. The dealership I bought mine from spent about 1800 dollars in the shop correcting a few problems associated with most Audis. I have owned a lot of cars, this one is fun and a great value for a luxury sedan (thousands less than BMW or Mercedes)

  Problematic - 2001 Audi A6
  By Kathy - September 6 - 12:22 am

  My Audi A6 looks beautiful, but this is probably the worst car I have ever had and this includes a used 1973 chevy monte carlo I bought for $250 when a freshman in college. If you buy this car, be prepared to spend a lot of money for part replacements and repairs. Just when you think youve seen everything, this car surprises you with an unthinkable issue. My advise .... buy something else....
