    This car is luxurious and sporty. Everything you want in a car. It is the best car I have owned so far. I am very happy with it. I just had the 30K service. It was expensive, but its Audi. You get what you pay for.

  • The best luxury car I have ever owned

    Before driving an A6, I used to drive a BMW 5-Series. I don’t think it’s even fair to compare these 2 cars. I love my A6. I love everything about it. It’s speed, responsiveness, features, tires, and the beautiful interior. I have had this car for about a year now with about 20000 miles on it, with no problem. I use it for daily commute to work, I drive 80 miles everyday. This is a great car for a comfortable daily commute.

    Exceeding my expectations. Love the look, feel and handling of the car. Lots of technology but I don't feel intimidated to use it and figuring it all out.

  • Sweet ride in my A6

    This is a beautiful car, very smooth to drive with lots of horsepower. It takes a bit to get used to all the features. I like the fact that it shuts off when at a complete stop due to energy saving.

  • Expensive Mistake

    Overall I’m very disappointed with this car and would not recommend . The driving position (seat adjustment) is not as good as previous versions and Audi seem unwilling or unable to fix The lack of a spare tire (due to the infotainment system) is a concern and again Audi have been unable to resolve The steering is mediocre at best

  • Complete disappointment

    My fourth Audi. 1) 2011 Audi A4 Premium. 2) 2014 Audi A4 Premium with S-line trim 3) 2016 Audi A4 Premium Plus with technology package. [best car I've ever owned]. 4) 2018 Audi A6 Premium Plus with 19" wheel sport package. Complete disappointment. Driving position is uncomfortable...fuel economy around town is 17 MPG [A4's were 21.5 mpg]. Handling is numb. Performance is abysmal in "D" and adequate in "D-S". The start/stop feature is annoying and extraordinarily rough on restart when you release the brake at a traffic light. So much so that I now disable the start/stop every time I start the car. Purchase was an Up-sell when I returned to purchase my fourth A4. I tried to trade out of the A6 back into an A4 after 200 miles. Absolutely hate the car.
