Extremely attractive car. Great interior. Can't tell you much other than that though.

good car now bad car later. as with many audi/vws the cars are awesome when everything works then all the neat widgets and gizmos start falling apart and you end up with a car that could have been totaled out by a dashboard air temp sensor going bad and making your ac go crazy or a altenator going bad that you have to remove the entire front end to get to..

i love vws and audis but don't try to drive one past its prime.

Expensive cars have expensive parts, I don't know why this is news to anyone. Although the above is ridiculous and a four year old car is hardly past it's prime.

I've never been a fan of the styling of that generation A6.

I drove one as a loaner when my A4 was in the shop. Thought the suspension was kind of soft, the car felt bloaded, and was not a fan of the style.

I think you are better off sticking to the A4. The A4 is a solid automobile and has plenty of room even as teh "compact" model of the Audi line up.

Because the A6 is clearly meant to be a corner carver.

^^its a German sedan, which by almost its very definition means it should handle well.

He just said it felt bloaded [sic]. The first time I ever rode in a C5 I thought it drove like a boat as well. The first time I rode in an A6 I was thinking how it was a nice step up from my S4. I mean ffs guys, can't every car made by every manufacturer be perfect.

Don't get me wrong, if you are looking for a comfortable roomy touring sedan with more bells and whistles then an A6 is your way to go.

Anyone in the market for a 2001 2.7T A6? :p

This guy sent me an email last week asking me if he should buy a 10 year old A6
