  Awesome First Car - 2005 Audi A6
  By jvcbone919 - February 21 - 12:54 pm

  My father and I went a purchases this car at an auction. The car has been very great to me, we bought it in August 2014 with 130k miles. Ive been in a car accident with it in which I rearended a much larger vehicle at 45 MPH. Luckily I was super safe and I just had to replace the front bumper. The car has about 145k miles on it currently and it just seems to be falling apart. Plastic pieces in the exterior, the window regulator not working correctly and some oil leaking. It has been a very nice car and I am looking for a newer mode with less miles because I feel so safe in it. Also last note the quattro all wheel drive is amazing, you never feel like you dont have traction

  A real gem a GREAT used bargain! - 2005 Audi A6
  By headude - October 1 - 3:17 pm

  My 4th Audi and 1st bot with less than 100K on speedo. Bot used on eBay in 08 with 28K two problems under warranty. Problem free ever since—now 65K on odo. Amazing engineering, ergonomics, design, performance & great fuel mileage for a V8, hiway—28mpg @ 70mph. Has Bose, performance pkg, with 18s. 0-60 mph in 6 sec., great handling for a luxury car. I would HIGHLY recommend this car, especially with the 4.2L V8. Just bought an 01 A6 Avant yesterday for my fiancé a rare, low-mileage car that looks brand new. Will keep both for years. Of the 5 Audis I have owned only 1 has given me problems, and frankly, I bot it with over 100K on it and expected many of the issues. Will own Audis forever!

  2005 Audi A6 C6 3.2Q Sport Package - 2005 Audi A6
  By jyurick - August 18 - 2:50 pm

  Purchased used 2010 with 47,000 miles and now has about 67,000 a year later. Beautiful car both inside and out, and you find that new models (2010+) have copied the styling cues (Jaguar XF, Chevy Malibu, Hyundai Sonata and must recently the Volvo S60). That says much for the overall exterior design and impact. The interior is fantastic, as well as the engine/drivetrain. I would buy another used, especially if Certified Pre-Owned, but the new prices are rediculous.

  As Safe As They Say - 2005 Audi A6
  By rslikesaudi - December 20 - 9:50 pm

  I bought a 2005 A6 in 2007, had it 2.5 years, then was rear-ended on a stopped off-ramp by another driver who was going over 60 miles per hour. A 4000 lb car was spun 180 degrees, slid across 2 lanes, down a hill, and over a concrete drain. The car was totaled but I walked away. All 4 doors on the car still worked although the rears were no longer aligned. The car only had minor problems up until it was killed. One LED that went out intermittently. Service, brakes, tires, were about as usual on a euro sedan. Definitely a high speed cruiser but can handle turns very well. Interior quality so much better than BMW. Its a great car. Im buying another, probably an 07 or 08.

  Love this Car - 2005 Audi A6
  By tpurchal - October 29 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my A6 for 5.5 years and still enjoy it every time I get behind the wheel. Handles great and fun to drive. The overall quality of the car is very nice. My biggest complaint is the low profile tires. I have spent close to $5,000 on tires since I owned the car. They are good for about 25k miles and the pinch easily. I will admit Most of the issues were caused by me (first time owner of low profiles). I love the way the car handles but not sure my next car will include low profiles.

  Excellent First Car - 2005 Audi A6
  By xixDEMONxix - May 22 - 8:33 am

  After reading reviews about the A6 having a lot of electrical problems with the MMI system I was very hesitant to buy. However, this was not the case. The car handles unbelievably around corners and has great gas mileage.(I get around 250 mi-300 mi city and close to 400 on highway. Overall the car is stunning both inside and out and I would highly recommend this car. The only downside with this car is that repairs are expensive and most of the time the part must be directly ordered through Germany, so it may take longer than anticipated for your car to be fixed.

  Love My A6 4.2L S-Line - 2005 Audi A6
  By BillsA6 - January 6 - 12:45 pm

  I bought this car used with only 7,800 miles. Love the smooth power and fit and finish. Ride is a little rough with the S-Line but on good roads the tracking and traction outweigh that. Interior is what got me over BMW - BMW interiors are boring. I just feel special driving it.

  Problems with My A6 - 2005 Audi A6
  By Scuba87756 - November 30 - 8:20 pm

  I just picked up my new 2005 Audi A6 3.2. After only about 50 miles the transmission began to act up. The engine would race to 7,000 rpm in first gear or would not shift at all. After parking it in my driveway for a short time, I could not back it out because it felt as if the parking brake was locked.

  Late starting - 2005 Audi A6
  By A Marafie - September 14 - 11:58 am

  I have the same problem the first gentleman that wrote his report on the first page. The car starts but sometimes 1/10 starts it takes roughly 4 seconds. The dealer has changed the fuel pump cleaned the carburetors and still has that exact problem. They then told me that fuel pump was 25 percent efficient thats why it was replaced. They then took it again and check it online with Germany and said intake manifold. The part was replaced but the problem is still there.
