Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Styling, comfort, all-weather traction
Cons: Lacks power and sporty feel

Within the field of automobile design, Audi is widely regarded as the leader. It is not hard to see why. While the A4 and the new TT get more attention, my personal favorite is the A6. While it looks a bit thick from some angles, especially over the...

by mcbaes72
Aug 22 '02 - Updated Feb 08 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Audi's Quattro system, attractive styling, Tiptronic AT & Bose stereo system.
Cons: Low hp/torque for such a heavy vehicle & expensive to maintain (after warranty expires).
The Bottom Line: The Audi A6 is a good luxury car and the Quattro system gives peace of mind on the road.

COMPANY HISTORY: The history of Audi is certainly one of the most diverse in more than 100 years of automobile history. Its tradition in car and motorcycle manufacturing dates back to the 19th century, when pioneering engineer August Horch ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Big, roomy, modern, huge trunk, okay depreciation means you can find a good price
Cons: slow, could end up with a lemon, maintenance,
The Bottom Line: love this car, so do my friends, but not my dad. Its looks keep it up with the best new ones.... but is looks worth it?

This is a 98' Audi A6 nonquattro with the 2.8L V6. I bought this car back in November of 04' with 99,000mi. It's been about 2 years and the car now has 155,000mi. I have driven the car on probably 30 trips that encompassed around 280miles (5hrs) for ...

Pros: Smooth Quiet Ride, Your friends will think you are rich

The Bottom Line: This car is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a late-model car at a used-car price

If you are reading this opinion, then it is safe to say that you are considering a used Audi A6. I won't repeat the other opinions on this page because I agree with all the owners who love their Audi A6. Instead, I thought I might tell you why I bought...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Handling, 4wheel quattro system, solidity
Cons: nothing I can think of

Alright, I may be biased because I own one, but I have to tell you that it is the best investment I ever made. I have been driving the Audi A6 for 3 years now and I have never had a problem with it. NEVER! I bought the A6, as opposed to the A4, because...

Pros: Great car for the price
Cons: none

My husband and I own an Audi A4. Last year, after having no trouble from this car we decided to lease an A6 through our business. I love this car! The A4 is fun to drive; it is manual and maneuvers easily in and out of traffic. The A6 is the most...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliable, sturdy, fun to drive
Cons: Expensive but worth it in the long run

Every car I ever bought has been an Audi. The quality, the service, the ride, the extras make the Audi pleasureable to drive and own. On my 50th birthday my big present was my A6. I drive 50 miles to and from work everyday and this car makes the car...

Jun 14 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: sharp styling, nice interior, nice stereo
Cons: under powered, under powered, under powered, oh, did i mention this car is underpowered???
The Bottom Line: buy a newer model if you have the money. spend it up front rather than on repair bills.

i really do love this car, in terms of styling and wet weather and snowy weather performance, but i haven't been very happy with it's reliability. i am the second owner, and i bought it from a friend, so i know the history of the car. i replaced front ...

1998 Audi A6 - Caution potential buyers!

by monsterski
Jul 07 '04 - Updated Jul 09 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Styling, AWD.
Cons: Long term dependability, Brakes, chassis components wear out. Very expensive to repair.
The Bottom Line: Unless you are an Audi fanatic willing to shell out big $$ for maintenance, stay away from Audi.

I purchased this car 27 months ago used with only 24k miles thinking it was almost new. Having been a previous Audi owner('93 100CS), I was pleased with Audi's dependability and durability during 120k miles on rough Detroit roads. Unfortunately, Audi ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: great drive
Cons: poor quality control

I love to drive my A6Q. It is the best driving car I have owned including a number of BMWs. The down side is that I have had way to many mechanical problems. Fuel tank sensors have been defective for the entire time I have owned the car. Dealer has tried...

Best car I have ever owned!

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Build quality
Cons: Power

I bought this car because I liked the styling when I saw it. I have owned Fords, Buicks, 2 Volvos, 2 Peugeots, 5 Saabs, and this is the best car of them all. The head room beats the Saabs and Peugeots, but the best thing about the car is the "build...

Sub par experience

Pros: Great ride, handling and comfort, bought it for my business.
Cons: Spending more $$ and time on repairs than I can afford anymore.
I bought a used '98 A6 Quattro a few years ago. Since then I've spent an unusual amount of time and money on recalls and repairs. Took it in again last month for the Check Engine light. Service dept. ran diagnostics but wasn't sure what the problem was-- but it didn't stop them from asking if I wanted to "try" one of two different repairs at my expense, in an attempt to resolve the problem?

This is a very frustrating ownership experience.

Are you kidding?

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 
Pros: Styling and ride
Cons: Over $2,500 a year in repairs + 11 recalls. A $40,000+ hunk of junk.
We just received our eleventh factory recall for our A6. They should have issued recalls for about a hundred other problems. The only thing worse than Audi's quality is their warranty service. Just look up 1998 Audi recalls on the web and discover just how bad a car can be.
