  2011 Audi A6 3.0T Prestige - A True Sports Sedan - 2011 Audi A6
  By ricks8 - January 15 - 11:28 am

  After driving Lexus since 94, I got rid of my 08 LS due to quality problems / high price. I ruled out the Lexus GS because I drove one for 10 years and dont like the new ones + Lexus quality issues. I also ruled out the MB E-class (dont like what they did with it, all the plastic in it or its price), BMW 535 (insane price) and the Hyundai Genesis (cant stand local dealers), narrowing things to Audi A6 and Infiniti M37. The A6 is a much better performance car that is more fun to drive with styling I prefer - article on Car and Driver comparing A6, M37 and 535 is on point, particularly high RPM for M37. I am very happy with the A6 even though M37 may be a better value to some.

  V8 is awesome - 2011 Audi A6
  By Jet1980 - November 5 - 2:00 am

  Its hard to believe there is a better car. The V8 is the ticket. Despite reviews from others, I thought the 3.0T was weak -- compared to the 4.2. And unlike the transmission mated to the V6, you can hardly feel it shift in the V8. The 3.0T has to work to accelerate. But if you cant feel the difference in your test drive, then save your money and buy the 3.0T. The 4.2 engine growls and accelerates smoothly. Unlike the 3.0T, you cant feel the vibration of the engine in the steering wheel. The fit and trim is incredible. And the lines are just breath taking. Test drove an E350, and just cant see why people pay the extra money, the A6 is hands down the better vehicle.

  V8 is the better choice - 2011 Audi A6
  By Jim - October 31 - 2:00 am

  I am the former owner of a 08 A6 with the 4.2 V8 engine. And I was looking to upgrade to a 2011 Audi A6. After reading Edmund’s review on how great the 3.0T engine was, I thought I could save $5K and buy the V6. I then went to my local dealership and test-drove the V6. And after the test-drive? Do not believe Edmunds, go try both and form your own opinion. In mine, no comparison with my 08 V8, not even close. The 0 to 60 thing, 5.8 sec. (for the V8) versus 5.9 (for the V6) are close, and are probably true (and no Edmunds, the V6 is not quicker than the V8, and did you really do your research, did you really test drive both models?). The 2011 A6 is an excellent vehicle.
