REVIEW - There are so many good things to mention about the Audi A6. IMO, the most important feature is the all-wheel-drive Quattro system. My three previous cars didn’t have this and you can tell in bad weather (i.e. heavy rain) that in the A6 Quattro, you have more traction and control than in any front or rear wheel drive vehicle. There’s also the AT’s Tiptronic control which basically is like driving a stick, except there’s no clutch necessary to change gears. This is especially useful in sharp inclines or steep declines in the roads and it can make driving the A6 a little more sporty/fun. It’s equipped w/ ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) which assists in emergency braking situations and gives the driver more control of the vehicle. Also, it doesn’t cause the tires to bald in an emergency stop. The Bose stereo is a must-have if you enjoy music while driving (which 99% of us do). It has a very good range of mid and high frequencies as well as the Bose subwoofer in the trunk that’s nicely hidden away. Also, the 6-disc changer is also hidden in the trunk on the other side of the subwoofer. The dashboard is lighted in a nice, red digital display. Some may complain that it’s difficult to read in bright sunlight, but I haven’t had that problem. The dashboard display features are unique. It can show the length of time you’ve been driving, the mpg overall that you’re getting as well as list what gear you’re on and what stereo mode you’re in (CD, cassette or radio station). Of course, if you don’t desire to see these features displayed, you can turn it off. As for power windows, they’re all one-touch up or down. This is very convenient as many vehicles only offer one-touch down for the driver’s side. Plus, the power seats offer lumbar support which is pleasant to have and I highly recommend using it for improved back support, especially on long drives. Also, the driver's seat has 3-memory settings which definitely comes in handy, so multiple drivers won't have to fiddle w/ all the power seat controls. The real wood trim is a welcomed relief, too. It’s gives the car the luxury look/feel, along w/ the leather seats. In the near-luxury and luxury car division, who wants to pay premium prices for simulated wood trim? With Audi vehicles, there’s no worry. Also, the dial to open the sunroof is easy to operate and the sunroof visor, if purchased, eliminates more wind noise when the sunroof is open. The trunk space is surprisingly spacious. It doesn’t look as big on the outside, but when the trunk opens, especially when the rear seats are folded down, you can fit just about anything back there. A good feature on the rear folding seats is that you’re able to lock it w/ your car key. The remote key itself is unique. The key folds out at the push of a button and on the remote you have three commands: lock, unlock and trunk open. The driving experience is another big plus w/ this vehicle. The A6 accelerates smoothly and quietly. It can get a little noisier using the Tiptronic feature, but that’s because the rpm’s will climb up much higher than the AT would do. Also, in Tiptronic mode, if you forget to change gears and the rpm’s hit above 7000, it will automatically shift up for you, a safety feature which comes in handy. If you care about your car, you don’t ever want to red-line it often. And the steering/handling is good, even w/ the stock rim/tire combo. Most A6 buyers will be satisfied w/ this setup. In sharp, accelerated turns, there’s some body lean, but Audi’s Quattro system keeps all four wheels planted on the ground and in constant motion. And Audi’s struts/springs help as well, too. So, there’s less, if any, chance of fish-tailing on a turn. Whether it’s stop and go traffic or a long, relaxing trip, the A6 is a pleasure to drive where ever you go.

I personally drove and maintained this vehicle the last 30k miles and it has performed like a champ. There is a couple imperfections now in the leather and dings and scratches and swirl marks, But I just had it detailed and hand waxed and it looks good especially for its age. For me my favorite feature were its auto seats that went to where I had set them last even if someone changed them. It also has heated seats. The only problems I know of at all are cracked windshield,and rotor in driver side window has stalled. I rarely rolled it down so I just propped it closed and kept driving. I had this car expertly maintained at my local audi service center and it has had every thing repaired up to this point. So for a great comfortable driving machine please bid fast and bid often or this No Reserve auction will get away. There is no written or implied warranty.
