Tremendous speed and power.
Very reliable I use this vehicle daily and I've never had an issue. I would recommend this as well as any German car. I enjoy the power and handling this car was made for speed. This has been the best decision I ever made as far as a car is concerned. Thanks.

It is dark brown with gold accents and the interior is light beige.
My car has always worked well. It is light beige interior is very pleasing to the eye and the seats are comfortable. The space in the back is large so there is plenty of foot room and the interior of the car as a whole is tall and wide so you feel very roomy and not squished.

My review of the Audi a6.
My car's performance is really great it's reliability really helps me get where I need to be. It has leather seats exclusively made for comfort and enjoyment while driving. Its design has a stylish, and sleek finish. Although it can cause me problems from time to time from the engine overheating.

Great car, a few changes would be nice.
No issues so far. Disappointed that it will not support apple play. Handles great, many nice options. Headlights are a bit dim. Would like auto dimming headlights. Interior is a bit dated compared to newer Audi’s. Navigation cannot be updated over the air and new update is very expensive.

Audi sedans are the best!
Runs nice. No road noise. It's pretty and has plenty of room. My two kids love it as well. It's a sedan and drives like a dream. It's the favorite vehicle I've ever owned. I'm planning on buying another one soon as 2020 model comes out! I want a white one though

The Audi is a really smooth car overall
It's a really good car. Drives smoothly. Safe, quick reaction time in terms of breaking. System runs nicely and it's a very pretty and luxury car to look at. The seats are plush leather that is nice, the seat warmer is really a plus because it warms up the car. The sound system is loud too and that's awesome

Great performance. Modern features. Fast and comfortable.
I love my Audi, it is fast, efficient and does not really bother me with fixes. It is comfortable and modern with so many features. It has a great engine and I can count on it to take anywhere and under any condition, whether it was hot or rainy or freezing cold. The GPS system is great.

Expensive repairs
I bought my 2016 Audi A6 used with about 5K miles on it. This is the 4th Audi I have owned. I had been a loyal Audi owner and huge supporter of the Audi brand, until now. This time, within the first month of owning the A6, the AC needed fixed (covered by Audi) but I had to pay to replace the brakes (> $1000) The brakes were making a horrible noise esp when they were hot. This happened again within a year of that initial replacement. I was told it was a manufacturer problem and the only way to fix it was to replace once again, with new rotors made by a different manufacturer. I did that for another $1000, but appealed to Audi customer care to cover this cost. They would NOT! Then, last week, I was left stranded on the roadside due to a coolant leak and overheated engine! This required a tow to an Audi dealer. The diagnostics showed a coolant leak requiring the water pump to be replaced at only 60K miles! This cost over $1700! If Audi would stand behind their product, I wouldn’t be so angry. But they don’t. This will be my last Audi!

Good gas mileage. Smooth ride. Comfortable interior. Handles well in snow.
Safety recall on passenger side airbag in June. Still not able to repair. Front cup holders are too small for standard size cups.

White fast car no issues love it.
I love my vehicle is a very nice and reliable car it's fast no problems or issues or anything like that it's awesome and super white is the color. I cannot complain I have the best car ever. I really have nothing else to say the engine is fast and no issues at all.
accountCircle Brittany E
That it is so reliable. I never worry about it breaking down on the road.
I like everything about my car. There is nothing I hate. I love it all. It is great. There is nothing I hate about it.

Reliable updated and new Audi.
It is okay but I do not drive it much. It has all the functions and equipment of a new car. Performance is great, really reliable and comfortable. Has all the updated features and GPS system. It comes with great insurance plan but the issue is with the oil change. There's minor issues here and there and issues with having service for it is costly.

A dream car to drive and ow.
I have had absolutely no issues with this car. It is a dream to drive and own. It is the right size, reliable, and easy to maintain. Might be a little firm, but I personally enjoy the sharp steering required. Overall a great car and a positive owning experience.

The overview of a prime crafted driving machine.
I have found that my Audi is extremely reliable and the interior is spectacular. The wood trim is beautiful and the acoustics of the Bose sound system is amazing. The car ride is exceptionally quiet and this is the best car I have driven in the snow as I live in buffalo, NY.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Odessa J.

The pros are that it is really fast. It is an exceptional looking car with all the bells and whistles. It is meant only for one person. This car is a luxury car that is made for speed and style. It was a great car.

likeFilled Chay H.

One of the pros about my vehicle is comfort. The seats feel nice on long rides and the dash is easy to read and sleek looking. I love how aerodynamics the car looks and with my tinted windows in a dream. I couldn't ask for a better car. I also love the gas mileage on this vehicle.

likeFilled Lizette G.

It is comfortable to drive and has useful features like navigation, sunroof, seat memory, backup camera and a nice display screen. The navigation map can also show up behind the steering wheel making it safe to look at the map while driving. It is beautiful to look at.

likeFilled Ouida S.

It drives smooth. It's very comfortable. It have great features. You will enjoy the comfortable seats. You will enjoy the gadgets. You will enjoy the sunroof. It gives you warning signs because if the cameras all around the car. The best feature you are keyless.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Odessa J.

The car is extremely small and does not hold much. You can feel the bumps in the road because it is a sports car. There is not a lot of trunk space and the car only holds two people. It burns gas really quickly and will cost premium to fill up the tank which is pretty pricey.

dislikeFilled Chay H.

The cost of the vehicle itself was a bit of a downer for me but I am willing to compromise for the amount of pros this car has giving me. I also don't like the keyless push to start I would prefer having the keys.

dislikeFilled Lizette G.

The only con I can think of is that the display is not touch screen. It could be related to the year and model but it would be nice to be able to make a selection that way. Also the start button is placed in an odd location next to the passenger seat.

dislikeFilled Ouida S.

I just wish the payments was cheaper. I wish the auto service was cheaper. Without an warranty you will have an empty pocket. Like I say it is worth the money. It does not cause any problems. Lower payment you will enjoy this car.
