    I own one and agree with the reviewer overall and in particular that the suspension is a bit "stiff legged" at normal speeds on real world roads - but that said it feels excellent at 100mph! :). The engine is a real peach. If you push it, it will get your blood pumping but by then you're going too fast. Perhaps the body roll is a bit high but to be honest I've not really noticed that. The standard sound system is not very impressive unfortunately. The C6 4F headlights are nothing special. The glove box has the cd stacker in it, is awkward to use and means in the space left, about all you put in it is a pair of gloves. The steering is a bit light, and Audi-ish: precise but low on steering feel. The front brakes are a bit touchy at around town speeds but they are inspiringly strong for high speed pull ups. The overall integrity of the car is excellent as is its dynamic safety. The 3T engine doesn't need oil top ups between changes (@4,000 mile intervals Pennzoil Ultra). The USA equiv.fuel economy figures obtained are: 21 mpg around town and 31 mpg on cruise control highways with 95RON. It has thus far been perfectly reliable. I believe the next version (after this C6 4F) of the car sorted out the suspension ride issues, improved the brake feel, improved the headlight effectiveness, standard audio system and so on. The A6 3T is a great car and imho the newer 2011 iteration of it is really worth the extra money if you're going for one.

    My aunt has an 06 3.2 wagon which (sorry Audi fans) feels downright slow. The 6 shifts way to early in drive to allow any fun, its (as stated) stiff-legged, and has awkward ergonomics (no a/c off button!). On the other hand, it is cavernous. We had to bring a HUGE recliner home today and, amazingly, the whole thing fit right in w/o fuss. If given the option, the Volvo xc70 T6 would be the car of their choice next.

    When he says that this car's top speed is electronically limited to 130 mph...does that mean that the limiter can be disabled or turned off as well? I mean I heard that it's put on by the government or something like that but do all cars have it? I've asked this question before but never got a good or clear response. Awesome car still!!!

    well since im already an enthusiastic fan of audi i was comparing it to the A4 and the A8. what distinguishes the A6 over those 2 for me to take it instead of the others. IMO the A4 is sportier and cheaper..i like that. The audi A8 is mroe luxurious. I just feel the A6 is a balance but might not bring enough to compensate with my decision. But i know where your coming from.

    I had the 2.7T, a great car...now I have the new A6 Avant with the 3.2 V6 engine...it hasn't got turbo, so it isn't so brutal as the old 2.7T...I think I'll buy another A6, and the new 3.0T will be my preference...
    Even if...the S6... =D

    I wouldnt call their //M division "shit" just b/c of rear wheel drive drivetrain.
    But i can definetely say im a huge fan of All-wheel-drive setups (notice my name, 4MATIC) and i agree that most high performance cars could greatly benefit from AWD. (Like Audi, Lambo, and Nissan already are)

  • @4MATICbenz
    @4MATICbenz 15 років тому

    That wasnt my argument AT ALL. First of all, BMW doesnt build any models in China, and they only have ONE model being built in the USA. What i was saying was that BMW has Audi down pat in global sales numbers. Look it up for yourself! You know why BMW is the leader in luxury car sales? B/C they ARE great quality (except the 1-series and X3), have awesome performance, offer any feature available, and have a nice teutonic style to them.
    People turn away from Audi b/c of poor reliability.

    Oh really? The 2010 Fusion, 2010 Dodge Ram, and the new Chevy Malibu are all "Stuck in the 90s"? How about the new Ford Ecoboost Direct injected Turbo V6? That "90s" too? I guess you haven't noticed that VW group reliability is very near the bottom of the list, especially when compared to FoMoCo, and even GM.

    This is not new model but updated version of 2005. So it is faster than 2010 BMW 535i 0-100, slalom is the same as 2010 BMW 535i, better on the skid pad than BMW, better interior and exterior than BMW, just wait for the all new 2012 A6 it will eat the competition. This car is on the same level and better in some cases than competition and it is 5 years old with minor updates.

    Audi, BMW, and Mercedes all TIED in all of JD's 4 different rating sections. All three brnads are great cars. BMW has plenty of models that can beat out Audi's.
    550i vs. A6 4.2? no comparison...
    M3 vs RS4? i think we know the winner there.
    And overall the 760Li is a better car than the A8 W12 id have to say. Still you're right, there are Audi's that do perform better than their BMW rivals.

  • @4MATICbenz
    @4MATICbenz 15 років тому

    No, there are no Chinese built Mercedes or BMW models. What models are you talking about that are made in China? Tell me.
    And i dont give a shit what some euro-car rating system says or whatever JD Power said. I only brought up JD power in response to maxuo's comment. If i wanna be the TRUE judge of a car's quality, luxury, refinement, and performance, I TEST DRIVE ONE FOR MYSELF. And i cant even count how many midsize luxo-sedans i tested. Guess which one impressed me the most?

    This A6 is nothing compared to B8 Audi S4.
    Same engine, but 335 HP
    Better balance
    Lighter
    Better QUATTRO with rear bias and torque splitting differentials.
    It's an EVO beater

  • @4MATICbenz
    @4MATICbenz 15 років тому

    whoa, BMWs are apparently built in China? What the hell are you talking about? Some models are built in South Carolina, USA, and the rest of the lineup is built in Munich, Germany.
    And i think the reason most consumers chose Bimmers over Audi is because BMW are simply a more model blend of comfort and sport. What i find with Audi's ive test driven, is there is too much emphasis on the sport. I test drove an A6 4.2 sport, and could not believe how terribly harsh the ride quality was.

    @adulby Because this is an american review, and as usually, americans choose people who know nothing about cars to review them. They dont mention any of the good points of the car, they just bash it with stupid things. Someone who doesnt know anything about this car would think its a crap car after seeing this review, but in fact its one of the best 4 door saloons in world, with the best build quality in its class.

  • @TheMegaCONARTIST
    @TheMegaCONARTIST 15 років тому

    Yes and the problem does not stop there the only reason why they purchase BMW because its is cheaper reason is die to BMW importing cars to countries such is USA and Australia area assembled in china for example where Audi is European ,made and assembled. Where there was never before more BMW dedicated clients are actually going for Audi due to the fact it is better way better production.

    Now you'd chose a rebadged TOYOTA over a BMW? Okay, clearly you are NOT an automotive enthusiast. You are a Bimmer-hater and an Audi fanboy. I enjoy ALL German cars, you ever look at my profile? Im sorry, but i when i test drove the base-528i a year ago, it impressed me FAR MORE than the A6 4.2 Sport i sampled just prior to that. You cant tell me which product i like more, or which car suits my taste better. I simply prefer the 5-series (and i think MOST people do also). Stop being a hater.

    @gladiatorsworn you're not 100% right. only the cts barely and the cts-v models from Cadillac are good enough to compete withe german premium cars the rest are trash. And if you see the number of luxury and sport models the bmw, merc and audi I have to say it's not enough only 2 car models. So I don't think the cadilac is real competition maybe in US but not in the rest of the world.

    What your passionate about is different to what is better and Audi is better in every point available, car simply invented technology that BMW is using today and that is a fact. BMW and this is fact smaller very uncomfortable, quality inside and out is basically nowhere near quality of Audi. And that is all that matter, i owned BMW so do currently my family as well as Mercedes. Never before there was more BMW clients buying AUDI and that is due to better lot better quality. All other useless.
