This car is old but is a functional high-end car that I enjoy driving.
It is an old but fancy car with a timeless styling. It has some issues with the age but runs very well with a tight suspension and has all the bells and whistles that some newer cars still don't have.

Die Hard. Anything will need repair and the costs can be astronomical!
Very reliable but requires upkeep on the maintenance. Also repairs are costly. I live in the North and I wanted to get an automatic start installed. I found out that they don't have them nor did Audi make a provision for one. There are too many diagnostics and changing a fuse is complicated. Think hard before buying German engineering

Reliable with usual repairs.
Love it control arms do not last though have had to replace a couple hoses and the serpentine belt. Headlight bulbs are aftermarket. Just replaced factory battery this year. Have had no other problems with the car. Has always got me where I need to go.

That it's very safe and reliable.
I love my Audi. It drives so smooth and has great features. I just wish it didn't cost as much as it does to repair.
accountCircle Alec T
It is quite fast for a smaller car.
The car contains a smooth ride and comfortable leather seats. I like that the car is a manual and it drives well in Colorado during snowy conditions. One of the only problems faced with the car is that repair work on it is expensive and it could be a lot better on gas economy.

I have always loved this car from day one on the showroom floor.
Have had no appreciable problems but I maintain it well. It has just 42000 miles on it and it has developed some minor leaks and issues with plastic trim pieces,

That it is very reliable and easy to maintain.
I like Audi, great car, comfortable reliable. But when it comes to fix something too expensive and complicated.

The quattro feature makes all road conditions manageable for any driver.
Excellent vehicle. Great for any seasonal conditions also automatic and manual shifting. Many pros, person/seat specific comfort luxury options. My only complaint would be that it is a difficult car to replace anything under the hood other than a standard tune-up. Not only are parts expensive but they are labor intensive usually only correctly done by a certified dealer.

Be wary of the advertising.
The maintenance and repair are a nightmare, emotionally and financially. As a new car, the comfort and features were a pleasure to behold, but from the first month of driving this vehicle was a money pit. The tires developed air bubbles in the side walls, the brake rotors had to be resurfaced, the transmission replaced, the timing advance repaired and the gas tank replaced as well as plastic cup holders and knobs.
accountCircle J C
It has a turbo that sounds smooth.
I like the color of my car, it's also drives smooth, fast and is gas saver. I dislike the size and the space my car requires.

Is The 2002 Audi A6 A Good Car?

It's a very good vehicle. A lot more pricey to repair than what I'm used to. The engineering is phenomenal. However if you drop something under the seat, forget about it. There's no way to pick it up.... Read More
Holly S.
Yes. It is definitely a good vehicle. It's a little costly regarding the oil change but overall we have been very satisfied with our vehicle.
Samantha H.

How Reliable Is The 2002 Audi A6?

Very reliable. You must keep the expensive oil changed regularly. I don't drive far not do I drive a lot anymore. So once a year oil change seems to work for me
Kristina H.
It is reliable. For the most part. The car is quick to leak and it has 2 computer systems. That party can be a little tricky.
Robert D.

Is The 2002 Audi A6 A Good Value?

Its cost around 2000 dollars. It's a great value. We would definitely buy another one if given the opportunity.
