2006 Audi A6 Review:
After over 20 years with BMW, the beauty of the A-6 won us over. Wow, what an awesome car! Never have we seen a better interior, at any price. And that Quattro drive! What more could one want? Then to hear the recent crash test ratings. The highest you can get, front and side. What a BONUS! Run out and buy one.....

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Audi A6?
MMI - quick, easy, intuitive access to every infotainment and vehicle setting. The distinctiveness of the exterior design, muscular and refined... like a world-class athlete in a finely tailored suit. The overall responsiveness and handling - it does exactly what you tell it to do without fuss.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Audi A6?
Better marketing and distribution in the US - the A6, and Audi in general, are the best kept secrets in the North American automotive world. A world-class car deserves world class marketing and recognition in what should be the A6"s most important market.
2006 Audi A6 Review:
Without a doubt, the Audi A6 is the luxury sports sedan that achieves the most compelling balance between driving experience, luxury, utility, safety and aesthetics. Every component of the vehicle--from the well thought out and purposeful controls and convenience features (Audi's MMI runs circles around BMW's iDrive and Mercedes' COMMAND) to the cavernous trunk, buttery-smooth engine and transmission, tastefully appointed interior and distinctive exterior design--works together to achieve a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts. I looked at the BMW 5- series, the MB E-class, the Lexus GS and the Acura RL and when the dust settled, the A6 had the clear advantage--the new benchmark!

Place CD changer in trunk instead of glove compartment and add CD in dash.
2006 Audi A6 Review:
I have owned my A6 for 9 months. Great car, handles beautifully even in snow. Fun car to drive and a beautiful design and excellent workmanship. No mechanical problems. I will buy my wife a new A4 based on my experiences with the A6.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Audi A6?
I thought the Electronic Master Key would be just another techno gimick but it has turned out to be a pleasant and useful feature that I would insist on getting in my next car.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Audi A6?
The electronic interface could be simplified by eliminating some truly unnecessary control options. (like tone controls for the backup/obstruction signal).
2006 Audi A6 Review:
This is second Audi. First was 10 years ago. That car felt like it was trying to be "American". The new A6 is German in all of its details. Steering is quick, cornering is flat, braking is straight and sure, ride is firm and engine response is strong and quiet. The A6 does everything it should do with a high level of confidence and satisfaction. Overall, a very satisfactory solid hunk of automobile.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Audi A6?
The navigation is spot on everytime, the handling is perfectly balanced, interior is by far best in class, MMI blows i-drive out of the water, and the ability to configure just about every feature in the car to my liking.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Audi A6?
Get rid of the warning noises or make them adjustable to suit the driver's needs.
2006 Audi A6 Review:
I test drove everything in the A6's class. The Audi is heads and shoulders above the competition. The interior feels like someone actually thought about it, the suspension is comfortable at any speed yet can still be tossed around without any complaint. The quattro still amazes me everyday. My only complaint is with all the warning noises this car has, in particular the seatbelt 'ding' and the low fuel warning. I know we should all wear our seatbelts, but come on, I don't need the car to constantly tell me. The low fuel warning scares the bejesus out of me everytime, I think just a light would be sufficient.

Too much play in the accelerator.
2006 Audi A6 Review:
I wish a little bit more on the take-off, other than that I love this car it's a lot of fun to drive. I also like being able to switch between auto and manual shifting.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Audi A6?
Styling. Automatic features. Interior look. Interior space. Engine. Alloy wheels. Suspension. Daytime running lights.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Audi A6?
The only thing I would like to see changed is the LED portion on the center display as it looks dated and doesn't match the radio/cd/navigation center. Needs better/improved acceleration off the line, slow to respond if you have to step on the accelerator suddenly.
2006 Audi A6 Review:
Excellent value for the amount of car you get. Very sleek elegant styling compared to the boxy looks of the Mercedes Benz and BMW equivalents. Interior is roomy and comfortable especially for those that are taller than average. First time I had a car where I do not have to push the seat all the back for leg comfort. Get the Sport Package as the car performs and responds much better with it and is more than reasonably priced for what you get in return.

None-they actually thought of everything-I can even start the car without putting the key in the ignition (key recognition system).
2006 Audi A6 Review:
After being in american made vehicles for over a decade, I am in love with my A6. My wife's car is grossly under her leased mileage, but I still find myself taking my new A6 everywhere we go. I drive a lot for work, and I am actually in better moods at work and after work due to the fun driving experience of the A6. I recommend this car to anyone looking for a mid-size sedan.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Audi A6?
The ultimate goody is the adaptive cruise control. This is amazingly good and well worth the $2K. While power on the 3.2 is not as awesome as on the old A6 2.7Turbo it is still fine and with $3 gas, a perfect compromise of acceleration, power and fuel economy.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Audi A6?
More range on driver's seat cushion and quality control on steering wheel assembly (my second Audi where the wheel was not straight and couldn't be fixed - btb not an alignment problem).
2006 Audi A6 Review:
My second A6. Mix of great things and some annoyances. Biggest issue is steering wheel which doesn't align straight when car is going straight. Not fixable because of the design and quite irritating when driving. Lower driver's seat cushion doesn't move much so for some average size folks not a comfortable position. Also the impeccable interior design of the last generation A6 design drops with absence of single CD capability, usable second cup holder and airbag and door lock lights that are very bright. Goodies two: Navigation is very easy. Automatic electronic key is far nicer than you would guess. Great trunk with quality folding seats.
