Big smooth ride, but an oil drinker

Oil consumption and dry rotting rubber parts. But comfortable to travel in. I like the looks that it gets. Even at over ten years old, it still turns heads. But the oil problem is an issue that I wish would go away. Make me reconsider buying a newer one. I've read that they have oil problems as well.

It has the look of a sedan but is a luxury automobile.

My Audi is a high performance vehicle and doesn't really get broken in until 150,000 miles. I have had a problem with an oil leak which I am told is common with this vehicle. I really enjoy the computer display if there are any issues with the engine. Other than that I have not had any other problems and really enjoy my vehicle.

Listing just a few of my high quality features on my 2006 Audi A6

I love my Audi A6 it has always been reliable I have only had one costly issue and since it was replaced I have had no other problems. I drive it in rain sleet and snow and the all wheel drive has made it safe and easy in all weather and terrain handles mountains and sharp turns like a pro.

Best car ever

243,000 miles still run strong 2 years no problems only oil changes the person before me kept this car up to date on everything they really run if you maintain it

Sandra M

It has been a very comfortable car for me.

I love the car it has a lot of extra features and drives beautifully. I have not had any problems with the car since I bought it except that I have to add oil once in awhile. The only drawback to this car is that any part you have to replace is very expensive.

Brandon J

Expensive to maintain but worth every penny. Look into finding a personal mechanic because the dealership uses Audi parts and are considerably higher in price. Go aftermarket

Very smooth ride. Very expensive to fix. Very stylish with navigation and heated seats. A true luxury car with unique features. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a foreign

Audi are great vehicles with stylish interior and exterior details.

My vehicle is reliable. Not so good on gas. Stylish interior and body of the car. It has navigation, CD and radio. The truck is a bit narrow and small but the inside of the car is spacious. Paint and exterior still looks great for a 13 year old car. My leather seats and dashboard add a nice flare.

Mac D on January 13, 2021

I keep it clean all of the time! Like seriously it is ridiculous.

The seating is very comfortable. Payed-off. Used to how it maneuvers.

Pros from Owners

Samuel J.

Extremely comfortable to drive. It handles like a dream, gripping the road perfectly and balanced perfectly for tight corners. Interior ac control is also wonderful, providing comfort at all times. Very powerful vehicle and fun to drive with fair mpg average.

Cons from Owners

Samuel J.

Maintenance costs are high due to foreign design and scarcity of spare parts if needed. Gas mileage is not great, also not awful. Somewhat frequent issue with water pumps and internal computers, can be a hassle to fix due to complexity of design. Expensive upkeep!
