  2003 Audi A6 Quatro Wagon - 2003 Audi A6
  By lrheere1 - March 25 - 9:56 pm

  Not a big fan. Too much car for the brakes, which I had a mechanic confirm this. The interior is not the quality I thought Audi was capable of. The seats are a leather set in vinyl. The vinyl cracks. As for any knobs or buttons you touch, the paint wears off.

  None Better! - 2003 Audi A6
  By fastboyfromill - July 25 - 10:28 pm

  Ive owned this car for about a year and a half now. Ive owned over 40 VWs and Audis and Im am speechless about this car. Solid, smooth and as fast as the wind. I bought it for myself, but it quickly became my wifes car. Outside of routine oil changes Ive replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner, the drivers lower aft control arm and the passengers side front drive axle. I did the work myself and it was fairly cheap. I do love this car.

  Take care of beauty - 2003 Audi A6
  By newlines34 - February 6 - 6:00 pm

  Ive driven this A6 for almost a month. Interior-wise, it is beautiful, comfortable. It had left engine mount broken and center engine mount broken off. One tube wasnt even connected.

  great, just as unreliable as a range rover - 2003 Audi A6
  By carboy1993 - September 14 - 3:34 am

  u all know it. its a great car. im only 17 years old so i like to blast out music with the bose sound system. its got decent gas mileage, great handling, does not shake on the highway unlike my other car with nearly 220k miles, my dad recently spent 2800 dollars for a checkup, the time belt and brakes keep having issues, but hey i love it. Even a girl at my school who got a hummer h3 for her 16th birthday says she really likes it. she just doesnt know about the nickels and dimes this car will cost u. thank god her mom has a lexus, she wont have to deal with the annoyances of a german car. still, if you dont like unreliable cars, NEVERR buy an audi

  German Engineering - 2003 Audi A6
  By Juniormc123 - November 15 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this car for one year now and here is the list of issues that I have encounter so far. Coil packs were replaced due to a recall at 58k, Timing belts was done as a precaution at 60k, oil pan leak at 60k, cam seals were leaking at 62k, secondary water pump died at 63k, serpentine belt seized at 68k, front and rear break and rotor were replaced at 70k. And the upper bolt joint is on my to do list. So if you decide to purchase an Audi make sure that this has been done or you will be on a world of trouble. DonÂ’t get me wrong these are fun cars to drive. ItÂ’s just to complicate to work on it, so labor can get really expense. Make sure that you find a good mechanic.

  2003 A6 3.0 AWD - 2003 Audi A6
  By DAG - October 28 - 2:00 am

  This car has been a great car. All that has been done to this car is the breaks, water pump, oil changes, and timing belt. The interior is still silent despite the dirt roads and snow that this car as to travel everyday. With the right tires this car would climb a tree, in the snow, if you wanted it to and where I live it almost has to on a daily bases.

  May be a Mistake - 2003 Audi A6
  By ReZe - August 30 - 4:11 pm

  I just bought an Audi A6 2.7T 2003, and I think I made a mistake. After only having the vehicle for 2wks I need a torque converter, mass air flow, battery, and the tiptronic is failing $3,275.00 to fix! and they say there may be more to do once the mechanics are in there. Kinda pricey to maintain but going to make it mine and fix it up like its a classic!

  Well worth the cons. - 2003 Audi A6
  By speedracr226 - August 20 - 3:05 pm

  I recently purchased a 2003 Audi A6 with the 2.7t. I absolutely love the car and recommended buying one if you are in the market. The big con that everyone looks at is reliability and cost of fixing. These are all legitimate concerns and if you cannot afford a brand of this caliber do not force it upon yourself. If you can, go for it. It is smooth (engine and ride), fun to drive, and can easily be made into a sport sedan with a few simple tuning steps. The room inside is fantastic and the way everything is put together simply makes you realize you are driving something that was truly engineered, not just threw together. Overall I am 100% satisfied with the purchase of this car.

  Nice to drive when you can - 2003 Audi A6
  By Bummed - June 27 - 1:48 pm

  Love this luxury car! Then I find out that there are all sorts of water problems associated with these and most other VWs and Audis. Of course this happens after warranty, not that the warranty would cover it any way. What a horrible issue! Thousands of dollars in repairs when all I needed when purchased was to be told about "cleaning drains?" Have now read hundreds of people having same issues. Why wont they admit that German Engineering can have defects, too? I guess thats why the rich get richer. Audi fans (which I was one of) claims theyre not even broken in until 100,000 miles! You cant get there! Im at 76,000 miles and the car is ruined. Dont let your Audi get rained on.
