2012 Audi A6 consumer reviews

The Audi A6 is the best of everything?.classic styling, luxurious interior, top notch technology and superb performance. The supercharged Quattro turbo easily outpaces other cars on the road. It?s quiet, fast and comfortable. You will not find a better and certainly not more enjoyable mid size luxury car on the market.

Not a performance car with the 2.0, and also this engine eats up oil (needed to add a quart every 1000 miles), but that's a known issue. Otherwise best AWD car I've ever had, I would take on 2 feet of snow with no problems, while most AWD cars would get stuck. And that's pretty neat in a convertible!

I love the Audi A6 design inside and out!! Great performance best car f or the money! Exceptional handling and very easy to handle!! Just love the Audi there are no faults that I personally can find!!

Car has a few quirks but, take what I am stating with a 'grain of salt'. Car is very comfortable and quiet. Gas mileage is excellent. Definitely still has a 'modern' appeal. My gripes with this car is that it hesitates and has no feedback in the steering. Car is quite boring to drive. That being said, I will say that after driving a high powered Lancer Evo for years has kind of spoiled me. Summary, it is a very good car, just a boring , non-eventful drive.

When I first bought the car, I loved it. Nice performance, interior, exterior styling. However it did not take long for things to start breaking. They have been breaking ever since. Door lock actuators, engine overheating issues, MMI system problems, water pump leaking. Never had all these problems with Japanese cars. It's not worth the hassle of having to run this to Audi service 5 times a year particularly after paying so much for the car.

I'd say go for the prestige with the LEDs. Looks great inside and out. Looks better than other cars in its class. The BMW 535 m sport and the Lexus gs350 are the only 2 competitors that come close inside and out. This thing is quick though and nice. Pictures and videos don't do it justice. I have the moonlight blue with sport package cold weather package. Brown interior. My boy has Lexus is,brother has 2011 BMW 528i , other boy has Infiniti m45 and other brother has g37 sedan. Mine is definitely the best one followed by the 528i

I have 10000 miles on the A6 premium plus. Prior BMW`s for twenty years. This car is a flawless blend of comfort and performance.

Great car ,loved it ,little pricey,I had a problem with guard braking system ,dealer could not figure this out ,finally done ,except price it is absolutely fantastic car ,too bad cant buy in US quattro with 4cyl in A6 would be much better value and less expensive

I purchased my new 2012 Audi A6 in July of 2012. I ending up purchasing the 2.0 Premium Plus with the 19" Sport Package and black interior, matte finish walnut trim and a black headliner. In the beginning I had been contemplating between the 3.0 and 2.0, I was concerned that the 2.0 would feel underpowered. However, after purchasing the 2.0 and driving it for 6 months now it is definitely not an issue (especially when you drive in "sport" mode.) I have had others drive my car and comment on the power and responsiveness of the car. I do love the black headliner as it is a subtle addition that makes the interior feel more luxurious without really being noticed unless you point it out to others. Prior to purchasing the Audi A6, I had driven the 2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Infiniti M, Cadillac CTS and Chrysler 300S. Driving the Mercedes, you immediately feel the solid build construction and its stately stance, it just didn't have the "tech" I was looking for and both it's exterior/interior design felt more suitable for a more mature crowd (I'm 29, however, it does look like the new 2014 generation might eliminate both of these issues.) It also had a much less rear sear room compared to the Audi. Test driving the BMW, again the interior felt well built, BMW certainly has more integrated technology than the Mercedes, it wasn't quite up to the level Audi has nor was as easy to use. While the interior is well designed, I feel the exterior has more of "it will grow on you" type design than the instant lust the Audi exudes. While there is no denying the Infiniti is a nice car, I found it odd that its MSRP is more than some of the Audi's. Driving felt very much like the Nissan Maxima with nicer accouterments and just didn't feel "special". It's design is sleek and voluptuous but does not stand out in the crowd in my opinion. When I was looking to purchase the Cadillac CTS was the only car I would consider in their lineup as the ATS and XTS were not on the market yet. The CTS is a great value for the money with a well designed interior; however the exterior just didn't appeal to me as I feel it is starting too feel dated. On a side note, I did recently test drive both the ATS and XTS on a track and found the ATS to have a great exterior/interior design with a very sporty performance just a bit smaller than I was wanting. The XTS on the other side was felt much larger than I thought it would, the exterior certainly modernized but the rear of the car kills it for me as it reminds me of the Cadillac land yacht of yester-year. The CUE system is certainly interesting but I experienced some glitches during my drive. The Chrysler 300S certainly had a "mob" appeal and presence with an interior dramatically improved from the previous generation. Again, on a practical side definitely has a great value appeal but after I equipped it with what I was wanting it was approaching the Audi price range. In the end, I am very pleased with my decision on purchasing the Audi A6. It has great exterior design combined with great interior design and fit/finish. I love the many subtle design cues that I didn't notice when shopping around. I have enjoyed the Audi MMI and find it very easy to operate and get familiarized with; while it also appears to seamlessly pair and operate with my iPhone for telephony and audio uses. At night, the cabin is nicely lighted with the "cockpit" lights and nice (adjustable) ambient lighting which I didn't even know it had prior to purchasing. In closing, I feel Audi has a strong product portfolio that has exceptional design, technology and value among its luxury rivals.

Last year I bought a 2.8A6. I had some problems with my engine....4 times visiting the dealer. Although the driving experience and look was great, I decided to change for a 2013 A6 Sline with a 3.0T engine. This car is extraordinary, no doubt about it!!!
