The Audi A6 is a full-sized executive car, available as a sedan and a station wagon. It was named the 2005 Car of the Year. But does it offer anything more than the Mercedes E-Class or the BMW 5 Series?
Is it comfortable?
The Audi A6 is exactly the sort of car you’re able to enjoy without advertising yourself. It looks sharp, it’s super-cool, and yet it’s still modest enough to avoid attracting unwanted attention. It’s exceptionally well built on the inside, with such flawless attention to detail that it feels more luxurious than it actually is. And it’s so incredibly comfortable, just sitting in there makes you feel like you’re getting the VIP treatment. You’ll quickly notice that designers from Audi have determinedly ironed out any flaws; they’ve basically been working on the Audi A6 continuously for 20 years and have embraced every design innovation to have arrived in that time.
How does it drive?
It drives the way a spy car should: quickly, quietly and smoothly. Plus, the Audi A6 is full of secret weapons and surprises—it looks like a big heavy vehicle, but the lightweight metals in the Audi A6 make it supremely agile on the road. The available engines are also first rate. There has clearly been a lot of focus on the diesel engines; they are all incredibly well suited to the A6, as demonstrated by the phenomenal fuel consumption figures on the latest generation (3.6 litre/100km). But in saying this, we don’t want to bad-mouth the petrol powerhouses: they’re also insanely good. Although, if you have one, you’ll be forced to enjoy the high levels of performance that thrill serious drivers and car enthusiasts. The things we do! Finally, it’s worth noting that the Start/Stop technology in the Audi A6 has been tweaked to perfection.
