  Purchased Used with 62k miles - 2004 Audi A6
  By charbojr - January 8 - 11:56 am

  Bought this off the lot with 62k miles on it. This will be my daily driver. Purchased for its all weather capability and european refinement. For a 10 year old car this one is in fairly good shape. Some gremlins do plague the car, phantom sunroof, power steering pump went in the first 20 days and driver side rear window does not work. But this is part and parcel for a 10 year old car. It is also a heavy drinker. 18 around town and 22-24 highway on premium gas. Beyond these nuances the car is capable, comfortable, solid on the road and for the money drives better than most newer cars and has more cargo space than most SUVs.

  Phenomenal Car - 2004 Audi A6
  By Audifan - September 17 - 2:00 am

  Bought the 04 S-line in Sept 09 with 55k miles on it. Mint condition for 15k. Could not be happier! added APR chip to get HP to 310 and it really makes a difference. Used to have 3 series BMW and this blows it away. Build quality is so much better. best vehicle ive ever driven in foul weather (snow, rain). Very safe feeling in all situations. One thing i learned is Dealers will kill you on repairs. got to find an indy tech. watch out for the cam adjuster seal leak DLR scam. they claim its $1200 in labor. only takes them 2 hrs! find an independent mechanic or get warranty. wonderful car. had not problems at 72k miles yet.

  Nice, Costly Family Sportster - 2004 Audi A6
  By Nice, Costly Car - August 26 - 7:46 am

  I bought this car from pampering owner. I had a 98 A8 10yrs ago that I prefer. The car looks awesome but I find myself nickel and diming my way through ownership of this Audi too. Both of my 5 series BMWs and my two Volvos (S60 & S80) were much less expensive to own. I hit a small deer at 20 mph that cost 5K to repair- chalk 1 for the dealer. Cant seem to get the ride completely smooth and the dealership always finds something. The car is not as fast off the line as the engine sounds, but it is great on the highway. Big gas tank is great for trips and the highway mpg is great--especially compared to the dismal in-city driving with a heavy foot. Overall- not sure its worth it.

  2004 model year has the best reliability - 2004 Audi A6
  By jimsrod - July 10 - 5:59 pm

  Im the 2nd owner off lease. Ive been driving it for 2 years now. First couple of months the car was stock and throttle response a bit dead. I had the ECU chipped and it really livened it up. Plus gas mileage is a couple per gallon better (not great about 20 MPG combined city / hwy). Ive tinted the windows and added aftermarket wheels to the otherwise boring design of the 18" S- Line stockers. Oil lines to the turbos were updated for 2004 so no more blown turbos (one goes youve got to replace the other)! Ride is very nice and not too harsh. S-Line A6 2.7ts arent on every corner so you feel like youre in a more exclusive club. Love the car...luxury and sportiness all in one!

  Awesome Car while on warranty - 2004 Audi A6
  By Brian 2004 A6 S Line - June 18 - 10:29 pm

  I have owned two Audi A6 2.7 S lines. The car handles great and has a sleek look. You cant beat the sophisticated interior and the features are extremely well thought out. However, if you intend to buy this car without an warranty or extended warranty beware! I have been to the shop too many times. I know all the technicians by name and could give you their family histories. Electronic problems, oil leakage, bad gaskets, transmission, transmission, transmission. Did I mention transmission. I love the car, but Im going japanese from here. good luck.

  Best Kept Secret in Luxury Autos - 2004 Audi A6
  By Anthony Hunt - December 31 - 9:48 pm

  The Audi A6 3.0 is designed for speed and comfort. The car handles quite well on curves and seems to hug to road. Its color combinations are great --- I have the bluish grey exterior with the black leather interior. I love the bose radio/CD. The sound is lush and can be cranked up without a loss of clarity. The instrument panel looks great. With everything within reach. The gas pedal and the brake are a little too close together and causes a promblem with this size 11 foot. That is the only negative I have about the car. Wheels are alloy and look great when shined up. I also have the tiptronic transmission which gives you extra acceleration. This car definitely compares favorably with BMW.

  over priced - 2004 Audi A6
  By woops - June 18 - 2:00 am

  My 2001 has had no major but many, many problems. Broken sunvisor, 3 blowers, many caliper problems. It is comparable in quality to my 92 Taurus but for twice as much. Without a warranty it is not a keeper. Simply it is a good looking problem machine.

  By siravast - May 12 - 2:00 am

  The car is quick however not as agile as I would like (as compared to my BMW 528i with sports package). God use of space and quality materials throughout.
