  What was I thinking ? - 2001 Audi A6
  By Joe - August 15 - 6:13 pm

  The first 4 months were great, then the problems started ... weird problems, you open the sun roof and the air conditioning would stop working, turn the headlights on and the wind sheild wippers turn on, accelerate on the highway, ABS lights come on, brakes are applied and you couldnt go over 20 miles / hour/ And the worst thing is, the dealer doesnt know how to fix it. Im gonna trade it in.

  Love & Hate - 2001 Audi A6
  By Not Happy - July 28 - 3:37 pm

  I have a love and hate relationship with my Audi A6 2.7T. Its beautiful, fun to drive, great acceleration and handling, but the car is unbelivably unreliable. I will take it back to the dealership for the third time this month. Electronics and Electrical components seem to be Audis weak points and not even the Factory Certified mechanics at the dealer can diagnose the many problems this car has had. Too bad, I really liked this car, but it will probably be my last Audi, if not my last German built car.

  Nothing but poblems - 2001 Audi A6
  By Disgusted - July 23 - 2:14 am

  This is a fun car to drive, that is when it is not in the shop. Ive had so many problems with this car that I will never every consider an audi again and judging with all the things Ive been reading on the Internet, Im not in the minority. It seems like they are incapable of fixing the electrical problems assocaited with this series. What ever happened to German Craftsmanship and quality. Maybe this car was made in East Germany !

  Great car - 2001 Audi A6
  By Chris Rich - July 19 - 12:01 pm

  I bought this used 2001 A6 2.7T with the sport package this year after my 2000 A6 2.7 (without sport package) was totaled out. Both cars are very similar, but if you are a driving enthusiast, I highly recommend the sport package, which gives you larger wheels and stiffer suspension. It is a great car with lots of room. I love the Quattro in winter (here in Wisconsin).

  Great fun - but poor reliability - 2001 Audi A6
  By pleasanton10 - July 6 - 1:39 am

  This is the last in a senies of Audis Ive owned since an A4 2.8 Q in 1998. Since then theres been an 2001 Audi TT Roadster, a 2001 S4 and a 2004 S4. While I love the comfort and the handling (I have the sports pkg on the A6 4.2), the reliability has been absymal (its been at the dealership every month this calendar year - in addition to regular maintenance). Its a love-hate. I love the speed, acceleration, handling, comfort, styling and with snow tires its GREAT on snow. But I cant afford the maintenance ($800 to replace the rear sunshade last month - ouch!)

  Performance With an Interior to Match! - 2001 Audi A6
  By miguel - June 23 - 3:16 pm

  I have put over 40,000 miles (85,000 total) on this car and have only done minor maintenance with one minor electrical problem ($250). Buying this car used is a steal since it came with a $46,000 sticker price. Find one that hasnt had problems and go and buy it!

  Problems - 2001 Audi A6
  By Disappointed - May 19 - 10:33 am

  Performance is outstanding, but here are the problems Ive had recently: Check engine light is always on. Car wouldnt start, doors wont lock, alarm, windows , sunroof, controls on steering wheel, interior lights dont work. Headlights flash if I lock the car. Airbag replaced. If stuck in traffic on a hot day, the temp gauge heads for the red zone. Need to sell the car or move next door to the Audi dealership.

  Versatile luxury sedan - 2001 Audi A6
  By audiX2 - March 30 - 5:13 pm

  This is possibly the best all weather luxury sedan ever made. Great for northern winters, and fun in the summer. Build quality is excellent, and the ride is better than a BMW.

  Awesome car.....except - 2001 Audi A6
  By Kelly Garcia - March 30 - 4:30 am

  I love this car, frustrating as it is. From the performance to the comfort and sound system it is a joy to drive. My wife and I have driven Passats for the last 5 years with virtually no problems. Well this Audi is a different story. From exterior water intrusion to interior electrical and mechanical problems, this car is surely testing my patience. My recommendation, never ever buy a used Audi that is not certified. Just as important, consider your proximity to the nearest Audi dealer, all warranty work must be done there! I admit the dealer has treated me very well. I just prefer not to be there! I still have a long way to go to reach my low reliabilty standard of my Jeep Grand Wagoneer!
