  So long BMW!!! - 2005 Audi A6
  By Hawaii Driver - June 2 - 5:59 pm

  After driving 8 BMWs in my life, I finally had to admit that the 5 series interior is just getting too cramped for 4 people to ride in comfortably. I looked at the A6 and was SO impressed with the handling, the fit and finish and the power that I never even went back to the BMW dealer. I DID compare the car with the Lexus GS, but the road feel of the Lexus doesnt come close to that of the Audi. This car rocks!

  Best A6 Ever - 2005 Audi A6
  By turbotaupetoad - May 17 - 3:59 pm

  Audi redid the A6 last year and made massive improvements. The A6 I leased in 99 was underpowered and should have been a 3.0 rather than 2.4. Consequently, I switched to a Mercedes E320 4-matic and thought I would never drive another Audi again. However, the E350 that replaced the E320 is just awful, so I tried the redesigned A6 and fell in love all over again. My 2005 Audi A6 3.0 has all the power it needs and is beautifully designed, inside and outside. But most importantly, it handles with the precision and nimbleness I expect from a Quattro, especially in the rain.

  Im not sorry I bought it, but.... - 2005 Audi A6
  By B Haskell - May 14 - 10:05 pm

  I like the performance and reliability of this car. Handling and responsiveness is excellent. The outside styling is fair, and believe it contributes to a reduced visibility/window view through the windshield, as it is now canted at a very aerodynamic/rakish angle. I would have preferred more glass at a more upright angle. The trunk is adequate but deep and overly narrow when comparing it to the BMW 500 series. The ride on the mandatory 17" wheels (4.2 engine) is a bit too stiff for my taste. I would have preferred regular 16" higher profile tires.

  Audi A6 - 2005 Audi A6
  By johne - May 9 - 1:16 pm

  This is a great car. Fabulous styling. Interior is immaculate and beautiful. The motor is good...plenty fast for me and great up mountain passes. Much more stiff than old Audis. The sound system is awesome. The gas mileage could be a bit better. There is plenty of interior room. Seats are comfortable. All the "right" features. It aint cheap and you can get very good cars for $10K less, but it would be hard to beat this car for the price.

  Purchased NEW 2005 A6 - January 2006 - 2005 Audi A6
  By SPM - April 8 - 11:58 am

  Formerly owned a 2001 A6, and after buying a 2005.5 A4 for my wife, I spent hundreds of hours researching/driving. After driving every car I knew, I wanted the new A6. The A6 was the finest interior/exterior/engine combo I had ever driven, I purchased a 2005 A6 3.2 AWD with Bose, Sunshades, Tan leather, 17" custom wheels, Premium Pkg., Tech. Pkg without Nav. Adding Nav for $1400 next week. What a car. For me it is PERFECT!

  New Audi Owner - 2005 Audi A6
  By jg - March 22 - 3:46 am

  I have had the Audi A6 3.2 for several weeks now and although I generally do not get emotionally involved with respect to vehicles, the A6 does provide some joy to the driver. The interior can only be described as phenomenal with regard to comfort, style and functionallity; the MMI system is far better than the BMW Idrive. This is a great car inside and out. Buyers should read the Audi A6 forum with regard to tip lag which can be overcome but is a pain. I drove all of the competitors and this car was the best in its class,

  Great car! - 2005 Audi A6
  By bbdholmes - March 12 - 5:11 pm

  This is the best car Ive ever owned, it is hard to keep it under 70 mph and 100 mph feels like 60 in other cars. Quality has been terrific, the navigation works extremely well, and the sound system is great as well. I bought the V6, and other than a rare occasional need for more snap I think I made the right choice. The gas mileage in and around the city averages about 20mpg.

  Mid-Life Crisis Aversion Mobile - 2005 Audi A6
  By Chris Laing - March 2 - 11:06 pm

  Audi is really running circles around its competitors with this awesome car! I still have not tired of finding any excuse to take the A6 3.2 for a drive. Light steering, quiet and comfortable ride around town make it feel like a limo in L.A. traffic. Step on the gas on PCH or the 5 Freeway north to San Francisco and try staying under the speed limit. This car is a joy to drive. Its very powerful and responsive when you need it. At all times, its controlled power in a car that feels substantial and safe. Driving through a torrential rainstorm to San Francisco, we felt in complete control. Plenty of power in a crisis, like the time we chased a road- rager at 100 uphill.

  Wonderful Saloon - 2005 Audi A6
  By Alexandra Caras - February 1 - 1:08 am

  This is a beautifully executed automobile- I looked at the 545i Sport and the E-500 4Matic, but the A6 4.2 just blew the competition away. It has the most jewel- like interior of the bunch, the best, most timeless style, and the most comfortable cruising, yet slightly hard-edged, performance. Great features- nice extras like power start and electric glovebox, and wonderful navigation and MMI systems.
