    Great review, this is not an Audi advertisement, this a non biased auto enthusiast who is simply stating facts. BMW and Mercedes-Benz really need to watch out. This car is hands down one of the best I have ever driven period. Absolutely no one in the industry can match Audi's quality. I can say this after getting rid of two BMW's. I am glad to call Audi my favorite automotive brand. There are no words to describe my new A6.

    Having had a 2010 and 2012 the 2012 is head and shoulders above the 2010. Design, technology, features etc....
    Performance wise the biggest change was switching to the ZF 8 speed automatic so a little better fuel economy. Engine wise pretty much a carryover the next major engine change was around 2015-2016 where they went from 310 HP to 333HP. I need to find another 2012+

    The new Audi technology is so much ahead of BMW. I just bought a 2012 A6 Avant Bi Turbo. I test drove the 535d and it has nothing in comparison. The Audi is a class ahead. The doors don't even close nicely on BMW's these days. They rattle. Audi's still have a solid door shut.

    I apologize. The BMW's i was mainly talking about were the ones that came out a 2 or 3 years ago or whenever it was that they changed the styling on them. I just went to the website and the new ones that are in production now do look very good. I have always liked the 3 series but once it got up to the 6 and 7 thats when i thought they stopped looking nice but the new ones do look better to me. However I must say I do love the look of the Audis in production now.

    BMWs are well balanced in terms of performance, handling, comfort and luxury appointments. They do everything just right, the sweet spot. Mercs are about excess, very luxurious smooth rides with some ridiculously powerful engines, the gold standard in luxury for the common man/woman, and a true status symbol. Audi is a work in progress, and perhaps this is their break-through. The R8, R10 do not count, they have Lambo genes all over...

    I do not understand where the comment about Germany comes from. In either case. audis and vws are made using the same platforms as all of the group models, scoda, seat, etc. If you had spent some time to get informed, you would knew that they introduced the new MQB platform exactly to facilitate this. This is VW speaking, not me. they have replaced two times their golf, because "the rear suspension was too expensive".

My statement was that here in the US the top of the line Audi A6 meaning the 3.0 TFSI (Prestige) doesn't go any further than an estimated $73,000.

    @iceonthemoon 13 років тому

    I believe the problem with the A6, and all Audi models, is the sporty suspension which reduces the overall ride quality, without dramatically improving the handling. The styling of the A6 is mature and modern, but the rear resembles the A4 rather than the smoother A8. I would still buy a 5 series over the A6, but personally the class leader for me is the Jaguar XF, or maybe that’s just because I’m English lol! Great Video btw (:

  • @Vladidadi1202

    AUDI is nice no doubt. I drive one now, 2009 model and ready to switch. But when I drove 535 and A6 (comparable HP), I was so unimpressed by A6, don't get me wrong, it is a sweet ride, but for me it has 'an old man feel', kinda boring, almost like a European Buick :) After test driving 5 series, I couldn't sleep for 3 days :) it is just so much fun to drive it! so I ordered one. Still respect AUDI and I think it is a closest competition to BMW.

    The debate about which car is better, A6 or 5 series is a bit silly. It's like trying to decide which icecream is better-vanilla or chocolate...you really can do no wrong with either car. There are both magnificent machines and it's only a matter of personal taste and little details that decide which you would rather have of the two.

    Also, they want to use a common cylinder block between diesel and gasoline models, even though the gas ones do not need such a heavy block. This, together with the engine which hangs transversely half a meter in front of the front wheels (as the platform is common with the vw passat and scoda octavia) show how "important" is the issue of handling to audi.

    @thestoryteller612 , You're right on the money! Audi always seems to have some outstanding feature that beats all other makes, but then when it comes to the overall package they still come up short. It's a third tier German brand, and that's not a bad thing considering the competition. They're in good company.
