A ride with a new A6 2.0 TDI my uncle bought earlier. Just to give an idea of how it feels when it's on the move. It's a very nice, spacy, comfortable and fuel efficient car, but it lacks a bit of power and the noise the engine produces isn't very nice either, as you might hear in the video.

Luxury-car shoppers who love value have long cheered the Audi A6. And in true Audi fashion, the midsize A6 gives you a lot for a very competitive price.
One of the A6's primary strengths is its deluxe cabin. Materials are first-rate, and the overall design is nothing short of class-leading. Its winter-weather capability is another plus. A6s are available with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which distributes power to all four wheels, making slippery roads more manageable.
But the car's most compelling asset concerns value. In terms of overall quality, the Audi A6 is right up there with other midsize luxury cars, but it costs thousands less. A used A6 represents an even more affordable proposition.
There have been three generations of the Audi A6, and all are worthy selections. If there's a downside to the A6, it's that it hasn't been the most athletic choice in its segment due to engines in earlier models that were somewhat light on low-end torque. But that pales in the face of this car's undisputable merits. Offering premium refinement at a respectable price, the A6 is an excellent choice.
Current Audi A6
With its clean lines and oversized grille, the current Audi A6 is one of the most distinctive midsize luxury cars on the market. It's available as both a sedan and a wagon. The A6 wagon -- called the Avant -- is one of the few midsize luxury wagons on the market, and with a 34-cubic-foot cargo bay behind its rear seat, it makes a practical yet elegant choice for families with a large dog or double stroller in tow.
Those who purchase the A6 sedan may choose among three trims: base 3.2 Premium, midlevel 3.0T Premium Quattro and top-of-the-line 4.2 Prestige Quattro. Wagons are available only in the 3.0T Premium Quattro trim. Standard equipment is generous, with a navigation system standard across the board and upper trims coming with heated seats. As we've come to expect from Audi, the A6's interior is a case study in attractive design and quality materials. The A6's various electronic features (such as the audio system, navigation and Bluetooth) are controlled via Audi's easy-to-use Multi Media Interface (MMI) system. It sounds complicated, but with its logical menus and ergonomically designed, all-in-one control knob, MMI is relatively easy to learn.
The Audi A6 sedan is available with a choice of three engines that correspond to trim level: a 265-horsepower V6 (3.2), a 300-hp supercharged V6 (3.0T) or a 350-hp V8 (4.2) engine. The 3.2 front-wheel-drive sedan has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with driver-selectable shift points, while all other A6s come with a six-speed automatic transmission and the Quattro AWD system. The A6 Avant is only available with the 3.0T engine, Quattro and the automatic.In reviews, we've found the engines to be smooth and refined. The base V6's acceleration is certainly passable, but our choice would be the 3.0T, thanks to its broad range of torque and relative fuel efficiency. In fact, we've found this engine provides quicker acceleration than the V8. The A6 rides comfortably on the highway, and while it's not the most athletic car in its class, our editors like its predictable, confident feel through the corners.
Used Audi A6 Models
The current Audi A6 is representative of the third-generation model, which dates to 2005. Overall, the third-generation car represents by far the best package of attention-getting style, entertaining driving dynamics and opulent furnishings. Those considering used third-gen models should keep in mind that the base V6 made only 255 hp from 2005-'09. Also, the supercharged V6 (3.0T) wasn't available from 2005-'08, while the car's V8 produced only 335 hp prior to 2007. In terms of features, the A6 has stayed mostly unchanged, though trim packages and options were also simplified for '09, and the MMI electronics interface and navigation system were upgraded for 2010.

he 2012 Audi A6 ranks 1 out of 14 Luxury Large Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 18 published reviews and test drives of the Audi A6, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
Reviewers love the 2012 Audi A6 for its high-quality interior and optional supercharged V6. The four-cylinder A6 also offers good fuel economy for a luxury large car.
Audi's overhaul of the 2012 A6 may seem like just a few subtle exterior tweaks, but inside and under the hood, there are substantial changes. CNET writes, "Navigation enhanced by Google, a touch-pad cabin tech interface, a supercharged direct-injection engine, an eight-speed transmission, and Quattro all-wheel drive combine to make the 2012 Audi A6 one of the most cutting-edge cars on the road."
Two engines are available in the 2012 Audi A6: a turbocharged four-cylinder in the front-wheel drive 2.0T model and a supercharged V6 in the all-wheel drive 3.0T. Although it may not be every buyer's first choice, the A6 2.0T will likely appeal to shoppers who are looking for good fuel economy, but don't need the extra power or all-wheel drive.
Most auto writers have sampled the A6 3.0T, and so far, critiques of the supercharged V6 and eight-speed transmission have been exemplary. Reviewers say there's plenty of power, and that the A6 3.0T's handling strikes a nice balance between nimble midsize cars like the BMW 3-Series and the larger 5-series.
Inside the 2012 Audi A6, reviewers find a spacious, comfortable cabin that shares many design cues and electronic components with the stylish Audi A7, which is definitely a good thing. Car and Driver named the A6 one of the 10 Best Cars of 2012, saying that the A6 surrounds the driver "in a peaceful, cushy, clubroom cockpit."
As far as prices are concerned, the 2012 Audi A6 makes a compelling argument for itself when compared with other luxury large cars. With base A6 2.0T models starting at roughly $42,000, the A6 undercuts many competitors in terms of price. However, the trade-off is that while the base A6 saves you cash and offers better fuel economy, it's also the least powerful car in the segment.
Other Cars to Consider
Shoppers drawn to the four-cylinder A6 for its comfortable, well-appointed cabin and excellent fuel economy may also want to check out the BMW 528i. While the 528i costs more than the base A6 2.0T, it's also more powerful. However, the A6 2.0T gets slightly better fuel economy.
If you like the 2012 A6 3.0T for its powerful V6 engine and standard all-wheel drive, the Infiniti M37x is worth test driving. Both start at about the same price, and like the Audi, the M37x features all-wheel drive and a powerful engine. Reviewers also appreciate the M's user-friendly electronics and high-quality interior. However, the M37x can't match the A6 3.0T's fuel economy estimates.
Audi A6: The Details
The 2012 Audi A6 comes in three trims: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive powers 2.0T models, while the A6 3.0T gets a supercharged V6 engine, eight-speed automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive as standard equipment.

The second-generation A6 sedan arrived on the market in 1998 and benefited from a ground-up redesign; an all-new version of the Avant wagon debuted the following year. This was the first Audi A6 to ride on a stretched version of the highly regarded A4 platform. For the first two years, only a naturally aspirated V6 was available, but in 2000, Audi added a spirited twin-turbocharged V6 and a torque-rich V8 to the engine lineup for the sedan. Given that acceleration tended to be sluggish with the base V6, particularly on the hefty A6 Avant Quattro wagon, Audi began offering a larger, more powerful 3.0-liter six-cylinder in 2002. Transmission choices included a five-speed automatic and a CVT (which was introduced in 2002). In our editorial reviews, we praised the heavenly cabin and all-wheel-drive utility offered by the second-generation A6, and panned its somewhat nonlinear steering. Overall, it represents a solid choice for used-car shoppers.
The original Audi A6 came to market in 1995 as a lightly revised version of the old Audi 100 sedan and wagon. Although prices on used A6 models from this era are convincingly low, consumers should be aware that only one engine -- a 172-hp V6 -- is available on these cars. With the lightest A6 sedan weighing in at 3,400 pounds, acceleration is modest at best. However, much like newer Audis, this A6 was nicely appointed and offered a choice of front-wheel drive or Quattro all-wheel drive.
Audi A6 Saloon Whatcar Review
Performance
There's a good range of petrol engines, including a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit, a 2.8-litre V6, and a supercharged 3.0-litre. The V10-engined S6 is amazingly fast, but the more popular diesel units include two 2.0-litre units, plus a sweet 2.7 and a potent 3.0 V6. The A6 is a big car, and while you might think it needs a big engine to shift it, in fact our favourite is the more powerful of the two 2.0-litre TDI units. Its smooth, powerful, refined and economical.
Ride & Handling
Although the standard suspension offers a decent blend of comfort and control, it doesnt cope with as wide a range of road conditions as the more sophisticated, more expensive air-suspension. With air added to the reassurance of traction-Boosting four-wheel-drive, youre getting close to the ultimate A6. With this set-up, the A6 changes direction sharply, resists roll and clings on well. In the S6, though, the ride is very firm, and the car is not as agile as you might expect.
Refinement
Sporty the A6 may be, but refinement has not been overlooked; the car is remarkably hushed up to motorway speeds. The 3.0T is the smoothie of the bunch, but all the engines, other than the 2.0-litre diesel, are impressively quiet, although the S6's V10 sounds great when you give it its head. The automatic gearbox changes gear almost imperceptibly, and the manual is much better than the one offered in the BMW 5 series.
