Audi is the best possible brand according to me. Its just my opinion, doesn't mean you will like it but yeah.

My vehicle is very comfortable and nice. The seats are super soft and spongy. According to my way of use i don't find any problems.

Seth B

Best car ever I love it to death.

It's great I love it the performance is on point. It is super reliable and the comfort is out of this world. The special features are nuts and you can do whatever you can think of. If you can buy one car I would go after this one because it is the best on the market.

Audi a6 is one of the most serious classes out there.

The 2020 Audi a6 has the top notch inside you anticipate from an extravagance vehicle, with a lot of tech highlights for sure. It additionally gives strong taking care of and a padded ride. The a6 completes in our extravagance average size vehicle rankings simply because this is one of the most serious classes out there.

My Audi is amazing and I would purchase another one without question

No problems with the vehicle. Performs well and is safe and reliable. Service calls have been good with the dealership and only one recall due to a sensor for detecting a passenger in the passenger front seat. The ride is smooth and responsiveness has been good as well. No issues have been experienced this far

I love my car. It is really prestigious.

I love my car. It is a very good luxury midsize car. It has a serene ride and a lavish interior full of high-end materials. It has some advanced technology features. Fuel economy is decent which is important and impressive to me. Overall I am satisfied with my car.

Linda C

Performance, likes and dislikes.

Great performance. No mechanical problems or issues since we have leased the car. However, annoying issue is engaging a shut off button every time you start the car to keep it from stalling when the car is stopped . Seatbelt is awkward if you are short because they changed the seats in that year . Liked my older Audi better than the 2017

Chad H

Sport mode, with the paddle shifters, and the sport suspension.

Very sporty car. Comfort level 9.5, 10 being the highest. Quick, fast, and good handling. I give this car 4.5 stars with 5 being the highest. Features include, Bluetooth, pop up screen, paddle shifters, Audi mimi, blind spot monitor, navigation, sunroof, heated seats and heated steering wheel and sport suspension.

Negative Owner Reviews

Amy S

Audi does not deliver what you expect from a luxury vehicle.

Uncomfortable to drive and placement of dials/gauges is not ideal. Cup holder placement is awkward. Had to replace the timing system after two years of ownership. Have owned several luxury vehicles and this is by far our least favorite. Exterior does not hold up well.

Amanda S

Audi bad review. Want something spacious do not buy this car.

The car is too small. I'd prefer something with gas mileage. Pay to much for gas. Also features are that great. It is too expensive on insurance. Will be looking for something else. If you want something spacious do not buy this. Not good for a family car either.

John H

My Audi car and why I love it.

I don't really have any problems with my car. I think that my car is perfectly fine the way it is and I do not think that it needs any fixing or repairs. I have had this car for a few years now and it has not caused any problems for me. I would like to keep this car for much longer.

Collin D

Audi: worth the extra bucks.

I have really enjoyed the comfort and reliability of the a6. My biggest complaint is the cost and effort it takes to maintain and repair. I understand that it is an import and I basically agree to pay higher amounts. This is the second Audi I have owned and I like the a6 better than my old a4 quattro.

The luxurious mid-level sedan.

My vehicle give me a good performance about the speeds, along with speed comes superior handling and braking systems to support it. And I feel it is very comfortable car for me. It has a good engine that I loved. It also has a predicted reliability rating of thee out of five from j.D. Power.

Pros from Owners

Greg W.

Comfort and handling including smooth ride and quietness. Yet quick when needed. The body style is very appealing and stands out among others in the same class. The price point is also advantageous for the trim.

Marianne K.

The sleek design of the outer look. The inside custom to your liking leather seats or cushion. All the amenities of your choice Electronic or power seats rear side blinkers and back up sensor. It is all in what you would like to have in your car.

Hamilton P.

This car is very easy to drive. Great on gas mileage. It is able to fit the family with extra room. Solid trunk space. Additionally, easy to maintain not many issues. This car always make me feel like it is going to last multiple years going forward.

Cons from Owners

Greg W.

There are no negative aspects that I have found in the vehicle thus far. I do not have a lot of miles as of yet to see how well the car holds up over time. Thus far however all is good. I would make the purchase again.

Marianne K.

The only con I can think of is the color selection off of the showroom floor. I would like to see up front more choices of colors for consumers to buy, before they would go out and choose a custom made paint job.

Hamilton P.

Good always be better but I do not have many cons with the car. The mileage could always be better to avoid getting gas less often. Additionally the car could always add the new additional features. Okay.
