Plastic parts

I love audis, but my 2012 A6 keeps breaking down. The mechanic showed me all the PLASTIC hoses he needed to replace. Disappointing to see that AUDI is relying on plastic parts for its car

Beautiful BUT unreliable by Luxury car standards

The car is beautiful and amazing to drive, but keeps having multiple never ending issues with water leakage, starter failure, AC system gas leakage... The issues are never 100% solved and new problems emerge every single week. Lately, the upper upholstery just released from the top back right side, with no solution but to replace the entire fabric top internal upholstery. It's as if the car is secretly programmed to have weekly problems in order to keep you spending on repairs non-stop.

Ten years in and still an excellent vehicle.

I have owned my 2012 A6 Premium 3.0 since new and it is the most wonderful vehicle I have owned or leased. No major failures ever, incredibly fun to drive, reflects the quality built into this car. Always parked outside and the paint and finish are still amazing.

Best Car I Have Ever Owned

Exceptional all around. Best car and most reliable I have owned. Fast, fun and excellent tech. Even though the car is 8 years old, feels brand new every time I drive it!

Excellent Condition and very well maintained

This has been one of the best cars I've owned. Audi really stepped it up in 2012 with the new body style and motor. I'm sell this car cause I up graded to an RS 7.

Most fun car I have ever owned

Awesome technology packages with supercharger make it live as a sports car. This is a super fun car that runs like a little brother of Porsche Turbo 911.

One of the Best Family Sports Sedans

I love my A6 3.0 Quattro. It's been a wonderful reliable car with great performance and it's a joy to drive. Even after 7 years it has everything to make a car enthusiast happy. It has great power & performance, excellent suspension with Quattro drivetrain. Comfortable and classy interior with intuitive voice control entertainment and navigation. It never had any serious non maintenance related breakdowns. When I get a loaner from dealer during service, I don't find any major advantage to a brand new A6 in terms of power or performance. Still holds its own after 7 years.

Very reliable car.

This car is great. Low mileage and can still get 3 yr extended warranty on it. Looking to sell. I work 6 days a week and I don’t drive it at all. Had it for 4 years and only put 26,000 miles on it.

First Car I’ve Owned

I think the vehicle is very smooth when driving and I find something new I like about it each time I drive it. So far I’m very happy with my newly purchased car.
