Fun To Drive

I've owned plenty of luxury cars in my driving career. This is certainly up there for comfort, performance, and luxury feel. They certainly live up to their motto, "Sophisticated, Sporty, and Progressive" Let me start off by saying that their MMI control system is by far leaps and bounds above that of BMWs I-drive and Mercedes version. It is SO easy to use and has a very clean layout. The car has plenty of get-up and go! For a luxury sports sedan, I get great gas mileage... 20city 30highway. And boy was I excited to take the car out in the snow for the first time. I just kept saying to myself, "Quattro, so nice to meet you!" I was cutting through snow like it was nothing. Now, the only issue I have with the car is going around turns. This might be because I came out of a BMW 5-series, and it has very aggressive handling, but, I just feel there's quite a bit of body roll. This might be because I was use to BMW's steering/handling, though. I noticed the same great handling on my wife's X3. As for the amenities, I love the Navigation Unit in the car, using the MMI, its very easy to put in your destination. Also, the Bluetooth sounds perfect. In my BMW, no one could ever hear me, it was useless. But in the Audi, everyone can hear my perfectly. My car also came with the Adjustable suspension. I don't mess too much with that, but, pretty cool I guess. With front and rear heated seats it makes riding in the winter comfortable for everyone. And man, I can't explain how useful the sunshades are for the rear passengers. We are having our first baby soon, and I'm actually excited to be able to drive a reliable, fun to drive, and very well equipped luxury sports sedan that will be perfect for all weather.

Best car I've owned overall

This car continually reminds me that every last detail was engineered to enhance the driver's experience. It has been 100% reliable over 64,000 mi. Dealer service has been beyond expectations, and costs are minimal for a car costing 50k. I would love to purchase a new Audi A5 for the looks, however this A6 has been so great and satisfying as a daily driver, I have no desire to part with it.

'06 A6 Owned since '07

We own an '06 A6 and are very impressed with it's road handling characteristics, stance, aggressive sporty styling. It's fuel economy is fairly good on the highway. It's outstanding in snow and it's acceleration is above average.

Amazing

I have always been an American car guy, and a GM one at that, CTS, Aurora, Rivera, and the usual Chevy Camero's when I was much younger. I have never been so happy with a car. The drive is SOLID, the comfort is great and the 4.2 V8 is awesome and I am averaging 21 MPG with 25 on the road and 17 in town. The fit and finish is just prefect and the service has been outstanding. I highly recommend this car to anyone.

Solid Preformer

V6 3.2L has good power in this vehicle. Handles well with responsive steering. Select the sport transmission setting and this car will really jump. Gas mileage has been 20+ in the city; 30+ on the highway. Automatic windshield wipers (if installed) may take some getting used to. Overall a pleasure to drive.

Best Car In it Class

I own 2006 A6 4.2 S-Line. Bought it used with 18,000 miles after months of research, compared it with the E500 by Mercedes, M5 by BMW and Infinity M45. This is the best car for the money, better performance, comfort and style. The MMI is easy to operate, great sound system, power whenever you need it, sleek, modern and elegant. Comfortable and fun to drive. Best car I ever had, leaves the others in it's group way behind.

God's Chariot!

I love my A6 so much. I bought it about a year ago. It has a silky-smooth V8 that really go's! Audi makes the nicest interiors, and the A6 is great proof of that. I hated BMW's iDrive on the 5 series, and the styling is terrible. I almost bought an E500, but The performance just wasn't as pleasing as the A6. I have always liked Audi's, but the last A6 did not appeal to me. I like the current one so much, that I bought the A6 Avant for my wife. I love the styling and the navigation is so easy to use. The seats seem a little bit hard at first, but are so comfortable for longer rides. The reliability is great, no problems. SO< DO NOT OVERLOOK AUDI! It's the best choice.
