With some of the sharpest lines in the business, the 2016 Audi A6 could get by on looks alone. But dig deeper and you'll find a midsize luxury sedan that excels at almost everything. The interior feels like an upscale hotel lounge, the entertainment and safety tech is cutting-edge and it's a blast to drive hard when the road gets tight and winding. The A6 is among the best in the class. Read on to see why.

Notably, we picked the 2016 Audi A6 as one of ' Best Used Cars, Trucks and SUVs.

If the 2016 Audi A6 were a baseball player, it would be a player in the mold of a young Derek Jeter, the sort of celebrity athlete who does everything except sell the hot dogs and beer to adoring fans. Indeed, with its finely crafted cabin, roomy accommodations, athletic handling and strong yet fuel-efficient engine lineup, this Audi treats its occupants very well, and like Jeter, looks pretty dang sharp while doing so.

The 2016 Audi A6 is one of our top recommended midsize luxury sedans.

An overall sense of refinement is perhaps the 2016 Audi A6's most notable trait. Underway, the engines are smooth and provide performance that seems stronger than even their solid output numbers would suggest. The diesel-fueled TDI version in particular strikes us as one of the best "have your cake and eat it, too" cars in the automotive universe given its ability to propel this substantial luxury sedan to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds while still earning an EPA combined fuel economy estimate of 29 mpg. Little wonder that the A6 earned an "A" rating. But regardless of what's under the hood, the Audi A6 impresses with its upscale ambience, high-tech features and agile handling.

Although the 2016 Audi A6 is obviously one of our favorites in this segment, there is no shortage of other strong choices. The BMW 5 Series isn't as sporty as the A6, but its engines, features and build quality stack up very well. Much the same can be said of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, though its available diesel engine is not as powerful as those offered by Audi and BMW. The distinctive style and sports-car handling of the Cadillac CTS make it a worthy alternative to the Germans, while the Lexus GS 350 and the hybrid-powered Lexus GS 450h offer impressive driving dynamics and interior decor of their own. For a midsize luxury sedan that's good at everything, though, it's hard to beat the 2016 Audi A6.

The 2016 Audi A6 is a midsize luxury sedan available in six trim levels: 2.0T Premium, 2.0T Premium Plus, 3.0T Premium Plus, 3.0T Prestige, TDI Premium Plus and TDI Prestige. The 2.0T, 3.0T and TDI designations denote the engine fitted (a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V6, respectively). The high-performance S6 variant is reviewed separately.

Standard equipment for the 2.0T Premium includes 18-inch wheels, Audi Drive Select (providing adjustable modes for steering, gas pedal and transmission response), automatic xenon headlights, LED running lights and taillights, automatic wipers, auto-dimming mirrors, a sunroof, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated eight-way power front seats (includes driver four-way lumbar adjustments), driver memory settings, leather upholstery, Bluetooth phone connectivity, Audi's MMI electronics interface, a 6.5-inch display screen and a 10-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio and Audi's proprietary digital music interface. Also standard is Audi's Pre-Sense Basic safety system.

The 2.0T Premium Plus adds front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, a blind spot monitoring system, Pre-Sense Rear, power-folding exterior mirrors, keyless ignition and entry, an 8-inch display screen, a voice-activated navigation system, Bluetooth audio connectivity, an upgraded version of MMI with an enhanced controller, USB connectivity and Audi Connect (featuring Google Earth integration, Google-powered search functions, smartphone app integration and AT&T-based 4G LTE WiFi hotspot capability).

The 3.0T Premium Plus is equipped similarly to the 2.0T Premium Plus but adds chrome exterior accents (window frames, exhaust outlet), a fuel-saving engine stop-start system and a power-adjustable steering wheel.

Going with the 3.0T Prestige gets you adaptive LED headlights, ambient LED cabin lighting, power trunk opening and closing, a head-up display, ventilated front seats, power lumbar support for the front passenger seat, a 14-speaker Bose audio system and the Warm Weather package (including four-zone climate control, a power rear sunshade and manual rear side window sunshades).

The TDI Premium Plus is equipped similarly to the 3.0T Premium Plus, while the TDI Prestige has the same equipment as the 3.0T Prestige.

Optional packages, depending on trim, include the Warm Weather package (see above), the Cold Weather package (heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel), the Sport package (19- or 20-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension and a three-spoke sport steering wheel with shift paddles), the Driver Assistance package (adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlight control, a top-view camera system with front and rear corner views, lane-keeping assist and Pre-Sense Plus collision mitigation with automatic braking) and the Black Optic package (high-gloss black trim and unique 20-inch wheels with summer tires).

Some of the higher trims' standard features are optional on lower trims, such as the Prestige's Bose audio system and LED headlights. Other notable options include rear side airbags and three items that are limited to the Prestige: a night-vision camera system with pedestrian detection, multicontour front seats and upgraded rear seats, and a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.

Also available by special order through the "Audi Exclusive" program is a large array of custom exterior colors and finishes as well as interior colors and materials. Note that these special orders can add two months or more to the normal post-ordering delivery time.

The 2016 Audi A6 2.0T is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine good for 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive and a seven-speed automated manual transmission are standard, but you're more likely to encounter the "Quattro" all-wheel-drive version, which comes with an eight-speed conventional automatic. The EPA says you can expect 28 mpg combined (24 city/35 highway) with front-wheel drive and 26 mpg combined (22/32) with all-wheel drive.

Audi offers the A6 with one of three available engines. The diesel-fueled TDI is our favorite

The Audi A6 3.0T gets a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. The eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are standard, as is automatic engine stop-start technology. EPA fuel economy estimates come in at 24 mpg combined (20 city/30 highway). In .com testing, a 2016 A6 3.0T sprinted from zero to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.

The A6 TDI has a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel V6 that cranks out 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque. It is also teamed up with the eight-speed auto and all-wheel drive. At our test track, the A6 TDI hit 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. Yet fuel economy is a stellar 29 mpg combined (24/38), ranking right up there with frugal compact sedans. In an test covering more than 400 miles with varying driving conditions, we averaged 27.8 mpg.

Standard safety equipment on the 2016 Audi A6 includes antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side airbags, front knee airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. Rear side airbags, rearview and top-view cameras, front and rear parking sensors, lane-keeping assist, a blind-spot warning system and a night-vision camera system are optional.

The standard Audi Pre-Sense system can warn the driver, tension the seatbelts and close the windows if a potential collision is detected, while Pre-Sense Rear flashes the brake lights as a warning to rearward traffic if you're in danger of being rear-ended. The optional Pre-Sense Plus system (available via the Driver Assistance package) can do all that, plus fully tighten the seatbelts and automatically apply the brakes full force to avoid a seemingly impending forward collision or mitigate crash damage if one is unavoidable.

In brake testing, an A6 3.0T with the Sport package's summer performance tires came to a stop from 60 mph in 111 feet, while an A6 TDI Sport with summer tires did it in 114 feet. These are average distances among comparably equipped midsize luxury sedans. Expect longer distances from A6s with all-season tires.

In government crash tests, the 2016 Audi A6 received five out of five stars overall, with five stars for frontal crash protection and five stars for side-impact protection. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the A6 its highest rating of "Good" in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset, small-overlap frontal-offset, side impact and roof-strength tests, while the A6's seat and head restraint design was also rated "Good" for whiplash protection in rear impacts.

The 2016 Audi A6 is a fun car to drive, especially considering its size and heft. It changes directions eagerly, with plenty of grip from all four corners. Not many midsize luxury sedans forge such a gratifying connection with the driver. One demerit is overly light and numb steering under normal circumstances, but we've found that the effort level tends to firm up as your enthusiasm increases so it's still relatively sporty.

The 2.0T and 3.0T provide spirited acceleration as well as quick and unobtrusive shifts from either the eight-speed automatic or new automated manual in the front-drive 2.0T. Cost no object, the TDI is the pick of the litter, as it provides a mountain of torque and by far the best fuel economy.

Although the A6 has a composed ride that's never harsh, it's definitely firm, and there are sometimes more jolts than we'd like on rough pavement. For this reason, we recommend skipping the Sport package with its stiffer suspension tuning, especially if you're eyeing the 20-inch wheels. The regular A6 handles just fine, and it rides noticeably better and more quietly with the standard 18-inch wheels and tires.

The 2016 Audi A6 has one of the best cabins in its class, with an attractive dash layout, excellent materials quality and solid fit and finish. The familiar MMI infotainment system controls a dizzying array of functions, utilizing a dash-mounted pop-up screen and a knob and buttons on the center console. The system boasts logical menus and crisp graphics, and the "MMI navigation plus" upgrade (standard on all except the base 2.0T Premium) includes USB integration and a touchpad that can recognize fingertip scrawls. It's sophisticated, but we still prefer BMW's iDrive or Mercedes' COMAND for overall ease of use.

The upgraded MMI system can also serve as a 4G LTE mobile WiFi hotspot for up to eight devices, and it adds Google Earth data to the navigation system while providing a simplified Google search for POIs. The Google Earth feature is essentially form over function, however, as it can make the map more difficult to comprehend at a glance.

An upgraded MMI interface is one of the upgrades to the 2016 Audi A6.

The A6's front seats are supportive and comfortable, remaining so even on long trips. The spacious backseat offers more real-world legroom than most rivals. The A6's 14.1-cubic-foot trunk is slightly below average for the segment, but we've found it generous in real-world testing, and the rear seatbacks fold and offer a pass-through when more space is needed.

We had a chance to sample the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine, which had no trouble taking off when we kicked the spurs into it. Gear changes are silky-smooth courtesy of an 8-speed automatic transmission and there is no hunting or pecking no matter what type of driving conditions arise. Fuel efficiency does pay the price during spirited driving though, as the EPA rates this engine at 20 city/30 highway. In fact, for being a luxury midsize sedan, the 2016 Audi A6 actually feels smaller the faster you go and takes corners with the best of them, especially with help from the firm’s quattro all-wheel-drive system. Minus the entry-level version – which is front-wheel drive with all-wheel drive available – all A6 models come with Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system as standard equipment. Braking is easily modulated which is helpful if your commute regularly consists of stop-and-go traffic.

3.0-LITER TDI CLEAN DIESEL ENGINE What’s better than a diesel engine that offers up 25 city/38 highway mpg? A diesel engine that offers a stellar 428 lb-ft of torque which is served up almost immediately. QUIET, REFINED INTERIOR At this price-point, the 2016 Audi A6 includes the nicest interior without a shadow of a doubt. The only interior we’ve come across that we enjoyed more was found in the $ 95,000-plus Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

We’ve already waxed poetically about how much we enjoy the Audi A6’s interior but we still have some more to point out. For the 2016 model year, the A6 sedan saw its insides refreshed with things like a bigger dial to choose media and other inputs with. Audi’s industry-leading MMI infotainment and navigational system is updated for 2016, and it continues to astound with some help from Google Maps. Then there’s the available Beaufort wood trim and aluminum accents which do wonders for your sense of sight.

The obvious exterior changes, like the redesigned front- and rear-end, show that the new A6 has gone through a mid-cycle refresh. Features like new headlights, a redesigned bumper, and a menacing-looking grille give the A6 sedan a sharp, fresh look. From behind, the LED taillights boast a sleeker profile and are easy to pick out whether you’re behind one day or night. Climbing up the trim ladder brings things like more aggressive side-skirts and badging to let your neighbors know you want to go fast.

All of the usual suspects you’ve come to expect in a luxury midsize sedan offering are found on the standard equipment list. This includes leather seats (heated up front), Bluetooth phone and audio capability, automatic headlights, and seat memory. BMW and Mercedes-Benz require you to check an extra box if you want leather seats in its offerings.

Beyond the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, the two V6 engines and one V8 can go toe-to-toe with the best of them, mated 7- or 8-speed automatic transmissions that both handle gear changes in a timely manner. Audi’s optional equipment list can get a little overwhelming (and expensive) quickly but you’ll get what you pay for in terms of comfort and refinement. Things like the available MMI infotainment and navigational system, adaptive cruise control, and a wide array of safety systems help to make the new A6 a perfect candidate for that potential opening in your garage.

Audi added a bump in power to three of its four engine offerings in the latest A6. The 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 cylinder gains 32 additional horsepower over the 2015 model, while the S6’s V8 is now rated at 450 horsepower, up 30 from last year. The 3.0-liter supercharged V6 sees a climb of 23 horsepower to 333, while the 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel V6 remains unchanged at 240 horsepower for 2016. In the front-wheel-drive 2.0-liter A6, a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission administers gear changes in models, while the available 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission is paired with the 2.0-liter's all-wheel-drive configuration. That same 8-speed automatic serves with the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 and turbocharged diesel V6. The 4.0-liter V8 is mated to the 7-speed S tronic.2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4252 horsepower @ 5,000-6,000 rpm273 lb-ft of torque @ 1,600-4,500 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 24/35 mpg (7-speed S tronic automatic, front-wheel drive), 22/32 mpg (8-speed automatic, all-wheel drive)3.0-liter supercharged V6333 horsepower @ 5,500-6,500 rpm325 lb-ft of torque @ 2,900-5,300 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/30 mpg3.0-liter turbocharged diesel V6240 horsepower @ 3,500-3,750 rpm428 lb-ft of torque @ 1,750-2,250EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/38 mpg4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8450 horsepower @ 5,800-6,400 rpm406 lb-ft of torque @ 1,400-5,700 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/27 mpg

At the very least, you can expect to spend just over $ 46,000 for a 2016 Audi A6, which includes the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and front-wheel-drive configuration. On the other end of the spectrum, the top-flight S6 model will set you back at least $ 70,000, but be ready to pay more than that to get the necessary bells and whistles you want. Competing with the new A6 in the midsize-luxury-sedan arena, the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class start at around $ 50,000 and $ 52,000, respectively. Other alternatives in the segment include the Acura RLX (starting at around $ 55,000), Hyundai Genesis ($ 38,000), and the Infiniti Q70 (around $ 50,000). Check out 's Fair Purchase Price for a look at what A6 buyers in your neighborhood are paying for their new Audis. In the resale market, A6s have historically held their own against their German rivals, while giving up a little ground to Japanese luxury leaders like Lexus.

2016 Audi A6 Trims

2016 Audi A6 Previous Generations

2016 Audi A6 Future Generations

Audi A6 Overview and History

In 2014, Audi revamped the A6 range making the cars more efficient, powerful and even more attractive.
Shower gels and generally beauty-product brands have a way of appealing to customers by thrusting desire through sensorial-related names and presentation of their offers. Olfactory sense-stroking balms and soothing cashmere-touch night cream-approaches are basically the most commonly used methods of conveying beauty and easy customer-access to deeply-rooted sensorial pampering, unless beauty is forged out of steel and thousands of accurately engineered parts.

Automobiles undoubtedly fall into the latter category, and what better way of striking at least one of the remaining three senses if not building an image of a mighty engine roar or purr of a loyal cylinder sextet cradled under the bonnet of an Audi car? Audi translates as 'listen' from latin and besides expressing an unanimously accepted passion of the motorist, that of listening to the engine as if it were a never before heard dissertation on mechanics blended with boisterous 'deux ex machina' comments and demonstrations, it also marks the birth of Audi following Horch's demise, the previous name of the company that can be traced back to 1899.

Its founder, August Horch was forced out of his own company in 1909 due to trademark infringements, 8 years after the first automobile had rolled out the gates of the plant in Zwickau, Germany. After having been dispensed of, Horch started his own company under the same name which led to a fair share of trouble that came to an end as soon as Horch called for a meeting at the apartment of Franz Fikentscher to discuss the matter and come up with a new name for the company. Franz's son who was studying latin at the time was the true deliverer of the name that would later became synonymous with luxury and quality. As 'Horch' means listen in Old German, the boy simply made a switched the name with its latin corespondent, 'audi', sparking enthusiasm into the 'audience' that quickly adopted the name.

Audi's start o the German market was high lighted by the appearance of 2.6 liter engine powered vehicles followed by a series of more powerful ones, such as 4.7 L and the gas-gulping 5.7 L. Having gotten to see his company grow wings, Horch left in in 1920, four years before Audi's first 6 cylinder model was built. In 19128, Audi was acquired By Jorgen Rasmussen, owner of rival company DKW.

A few years later, a merger between Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer occurred and thus, the Auto Union was formed in 1932. Those times called for a new badge and the four interlocked rings were born as a sign of unity and identity of the newly formed auto-conglomerate. Technological improvement became a top priority that first took shape during the Second World War when an armored car was produced for the German Army.

However, all the progress would soon be severely slowed down and even halted at times due to heavy bombings. Moreover, as as soon as the conflict had come to an end, Zwickau had been caught in the soviet occupation zone that would become The German Democratic Republic in 1949. Not only that the company's activity was in jeopardy but the Auto Union had also broken up and the Union had to be restarted n new grounds, in Ingolstadt, Bavaria.

Though sluggish at first, the newly Ingolstadt based factory would attract many of the former workers and the construction of two-stroke engines would be resumed in a way similar to that of Zwickau. By 1958, Daimler-Benz had already acquired a whopping 87% of the Auto Union but its investment quickly became property of Volkswagen, the company having bought the factory and  and the brands in 1964.

Soon after the change of ownership, two-stroke engines would be eliminated in favor of the more popular and more customer appealing four-stroke ones. DKW, the leading brand of the Union at the time failed as a brand despite of the changes  it had made and Volkswagen decided to resurrect Audi. The former DKW built model was rebranded as an Audi one and was the springboard for the make of later models such as the 60, 75 and 80.

After a second merger with the Stuttgart based car-producer NSU by 1970, Audi established itself as a reliable growing brand that would later break the German boundaries and expand to new markets, including the North American one where it encountered difficulties following the release of a biased report that portrayed the car as suffering form 'unintended acceleration'. This was caused by the close placement of the brake and acceleration pedals, right next to each other. Shortly after the report was released , an abrupt decline in sales was registered that was countered only years later with the 1996 release of the A4 model.

Joining a row of successful car-producers, Audi has also garnered acclaim on the racing track with several World Record holdings, including one for Top Speed Endurance. Audi is currently enjoying a privileged position and large market share and is predicted to reach the production threshold of 1 million units by the end of this year.

2016 Audi A6 Consumer Reviews

unsubtlerapadash, 07/23/2015
3.0T Premium Plus quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
Still a dream car after a 18 months....
Still loving it after all these months....18 to be exact, and still this A6 is a dream to drive, own and remains trouble free. Even after the first year and half, the car has all of the exuberance of new car ownership. All that has changed is that I "know" it and its capabilities and amenities better and driving out the driveway each morning is perhaps a little less thrilling and is now more of a long time, settled-in, best friend car-owner relationship. I have only one issue, and that is at times the Audi connect service (which enables you to go into many of the internet options, including navigation points entered from your home computer) sometimes requires me to re-enter my PIN and is every now and then slower than I would like (but these are minor and few and far between occurrences.) The only other thing that I have learned from time is that the front under-bumper spoiler IS LOW, and you have to be very careful about parking up against concrete parking stops. I had a major run-in with one, and it caused enough under bumper damage for me to take it to the body shop for (a not in-expensive) repair/replace. (This is user error, but users be aware.) The car sails on smoothly, responsively and with the same youthful eagerness that it did when I first drove it off the dealer's lot. I will most likely be keeping this 2016 A6 for several years, and my next car will be another Audi, probably an A6, with autonomous (self-driving) capabilities! The sad part of that will be missing out on the wonderful human driving experience that this current A6 provides.

3.0T Prestige quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)
First Audi, added another already.
I've been in the automotive manufacturing sector ( worked for a major transplant automotive manufacturer in the 80's and owned a supply company for 27 years ) so I've always had a love affair for great automobiles. I've admired the Audi's for a few years, so once I retired and not now tied to a major customer auto brand, I traded my Lexus LS for the A6. I was impressed with the style, handling, driving dynamics, quality of manufacturing, interior materials, fit and finish, fuel economy, and layout. After 10,000 miles, I'm still as pleased as with day 1. This car is a pleasure to drive, has a conservative style, lots of power from the 3.0, quiet and fun to drive. You must get used to watching your speed. You can find yourself approaching triple digits on the highway without realizing it. At first, I hated the pop-up info display, but have warmed up to it nicely. Once your all set with climate control, music, etc., you can allow it to disappear, and the looks of the dash is so streamlined compared to the huge screens on most other luxury vehicles. Good sized rear seating, and trunk for a car of this size. Really like the Google Maps on the huge screen. Slick to see Google Earth exactly where you are driving, the buildings, landmarks, and interesting things just beyond your street view as you drive down a highway. The wifi is a nice addition for the passenger to enjoy as well. The choices found in the on screen system for adjusting the lighting, door locking, driving dynamics, Climate Control, entertainment, etc. is great. My wife liked my A6 so much, she got the A8L. Update, 7/18: while we have traded the Audi’s for other vehicles , the A6 is still my favorite car I’ve ever owned. Reason for trading is I went back to work part time, and needed a less “flashy” car for my work. If times change, and Audi A6 will be back in my sights.

2.0T Premium Plus quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
Still in the honeymoon phase
So far really enjoying the A6. It's the right size, looks terrific, a comfortable cruiser and the materials inside and out are top notch. It's really too early to comment about things like reliability, maintenance costs etc., but both my wife (the primary driver) and I feel good about the purchase. The A6 replaces a Q5 which was our first Audi and the ownership experience was stellar. After 6 months we're still enjoying the A6. No issues at all. A very solid car. The ride might be a little firm for some, as ours has the sport suspension, but I enjoy the sharp steering and handling that comes with it. One niggle is the placement of the HVAC controls. They sit very low on the center stack and are difficult to see and adjust while driving. Something used so frequently should be in a better location. One option is to set the system to AUTO and forget about it - But at times things need to be tweaked. Overall, a great car and deserving of the praise that's it's received. After 1 year we're still enjoying the A6. No issues at all as well as not creaks or rattles. We've taken two long road trips and got 30+ mpg's depending to the speed, terrain etc. It's a keeper. In June my 2016 A6 passed the 2 year mark. The car continues to impress. We've had zero issues with it with just routine service needed. The car doesn't have any creaks or rattles and still feels very solid. With the sport suspension and the ride being on the firm side I keep the tire pressures at the minimum recommended and it is a good balance between ride and handling. Overall a great car and a positive ownership experience. I'll take a look at the new gen 2019 when it comes out, although there are a couple of other cars on my radar as possible replacements.

What a Car
This car handles like a sports car on the back roads. You would never know it is a mid sized car. I have a BMW Z and it is second fiddle to this car. Acceleration is quick and gas mileage is in low thirties driving 70 mph. What's not to like. Plenty of leg room in both front and back with a pretty good size trunk. The led headlamps are amazing. I have two other cars with HID, but no comparison. The car is just fun to drive and the driver assistance with lane tracking works great. It does tell you to put your hands on the steering wheel after about 15 seconds, but I just like checking it out. Before I purchased, I tried the E300 and the 535xi. The E300 was old fashioned, the acceleration was subpar and it did not feel as sharp in the handling. My wife was leaning towards the BMW 535XI until we drove the 3.0 A6. Then we drove them again and it was no contest. The BMW handling was nowhere as good as this A6. Loving it.

2015 Audi A6
"DIY BEWARE!!!"
This is my second Audi and it is a comfortable and fun car to drive. It is stylist and dependable vehicle. Audi definitely designed this car for the owner who wants to pay full service prices from the dealership. If you are someone who has the attitude that if you want it down right, you do it yourself, this car is not for you. An easy oil change has it's headache, the vehicle does not come with an oil stick. There is an empty tube that is capped where the oil stick should reside. This tube must be for the dealership to use an universal Snap-On tools oil stick. The vehicle owner is expected to check the oil through its computer system. It takes approximately 10 minutes to perform. Its also worth mentioning the obscure driver bits needed to remove panels to access the oil plug. Next, I found that the car alerts the driver on start up when service is needed on the vehicle that is determined by mileage. There is no way to reset the service interval without bring it to the dealership. The dealership I purchase it from charges $ 25.00 to reset it.

"I HATE my car!"
I have owned Jaguars, Saabs, Hondas, Jeeps... I have NEVER had so many things go wrong with a car in my life. They're always unusual issues -- lots of sensor replacements, mostly electronic. With only a little over 62k miles, it has been in the shop every 2 or 3 months in past 4 years that I have owned it. I will never own another AUDI!

2016 Audi A6
"Audi nails it again"
After 2 A4's I decided to go bigger w/ a functional back seat . While the A6 is not a cheap proposition the car is outstanding . I am an automotive eng . & have been driving audi's for maybe 15 yrs . I can honestly say beyond routine maintenance & a couple minor wear issues I have had almost 0 problems . Performance & handling , stereo gas mileage are really good . Winter performance w/ snow tires also great . My only complaint & it is minor is under hard repeated braking such as CO mountains the front brakes get a little dicey & loud . Checked them before trip & gauges showed maybe 35% wear . Oh well , we made it .Read less

2016 Audi A6 Review by Sarah Shelton | March 8, 2019 The 2016 Audi A6 does a spectacular job of balancing performance and comfort. It falls slightly behind a few rivals that have better reliability ratings and are less expensive to own, but this is more a reflection of the excellence of the class than a knock against the Audi.
