Comfortable, reliable, easy to manipulate.
No major problems, only thing that needed to be fixed was the heating/cooling system. It is a reliable vehicle, good on the road for short or long trips. It is also pretty comfortable for up to 4 people to ride in, it has enough space. The GPS feature is also very useful and up-to-date.

Behind the Audi, and getting a feel for what it's capable of.
Performance is great. When you accelerate it feels like you go from zero to sixty in about 5 seconds or less. It's a very quick sports car and anyone who likes both luxury and show would be a great fit for this car. My favorite part about the Audi is the gearbox, it is stylish and savvy.

Great ride and gas mileage. Looks great on the road.
The car is both sporty and classy, has great gas mileage and a very smooth drive. The navigation system is antiquated and electronics slightly dysfunctional at times.

This is a Boss car!
This is my first Audi and ive always wanted one. I am thoroughly enamored! It is smooth and comfortable. Quick and solid. My only gripe is that with the top of the line infotainement system and stereo i dont have the ability to play music from my phone via Bluetooth. I am very satisfied and look forward to upgrading in the next couple of years!

Audi car thoughts: a detail to think about.
My vehicle because it is high grade, has a lot of issues when it comes to finding parts or replacements for damaged areas of my vehicle. This downside is very little to me in my opinion. Overall, my car gets the job done and does not require many repairs like my vehicle I had before it.

Great driver's car. Very high tech and fast. Expensive to maintain.
Expensive to maintain. Always has some minor issue and needs constant repair/maintenance. But it drives like a dream and the options are sweet. Has a lot of power, very fast, drives like a sports car and handles on rails. All of the user interface tech is fantastic, even for an older model, it is phenomenal. It is extremely comfortable and has a lot of interior space as well.

You should get a check up very often.
I had my car for about a year now and it's my first car so I was very excited but now I see that there is a lot of problems with it. My car makes weird noises when I drive.

Good gas mileage both in town and the highway.
Heated seats are good bit too old for current cell phones. CD changer has 6 slots but we no longer use CDs. Has OnStar capabilities. Great gas mileage in town and on the highway. Great sound system. Only minor repairs and basic needs for maintenance plus tires when necessary

Audi is a great brand, reliable
The Audi is a beautiful car. I love how quiet it is on the inside, and the interior design. On the down side, the breaks are insanely sensitive, so until you adjust how you use them, it can make for a jerky ride for your passengers. I also wish it had a cupholder coming out of the dash, and not just in the middle.

Proper maintenance of your audi a6.
Lots of electrical issues and it is very hard to diagnose what is wrong with the car. The looks of the car and design are nice and very pleasing to the eye. When the car has no issues it runs great and is a comfortable ride. If the car was purchased new I am sure that it would have no problems but it has had several owners.

Supercharged 2011 Audi a6 3.0t prestige.
I love the comfort and smooth ride of the car. It can be a very reliable car, until it reaches 50k to 60k miles because things start to break, corrode more, crack, fall apart, etc. The maintenance is way too expensive for your average person. People with more money are able to buy and maintain this car.

Our Audi is a nice addition to our family.
It seems louder than our other Audi and does not muffle sounds like as well either. I sometimes get car sick in it but that is not the car’s fault. I like the GPS and being able to link my phone. I also love the color and look of the car. Overall, I am happy with our Audi.

Fun car to drive, watch out for repair costs!
This car is very fun to drive, very solid and safe. Performs well in the snow and has nice features like heated seats, blind spot detection and automatic windshield wipers. The only concerns I have with the vehicle are the cost of maintenance and repairs which tend to be higher than other vehicles I've owned. I haven't had many problems in the two years I've owned this vehicle but those that have come up (headlight burnt out and thermostat replacement) have been quite expensive (in excess of 1k each).
