What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Audi A6

"Wonderfully comfortable, fast, and luxurious car"

"I love this car. Loaded with features and perks. Powerful engine and sporty responsiveness make it an absolute joy to drive. The interior, with the sport package, is comfortable and has all the bells and whistles. Leather power sport seats, seat position memory, heated front and rear seats, AM/FM CD/Cassette radio with Bose speakers, dual climate control, auto dimming mirrors, LCD display showing radio station with song names, miles to empty, current MPG, average MPG, average speed, time driven, steering wheel controls for radio station, volume, and phone calls, ski bag in the back, trunk space is plentiful, body styling is conservative but sleek and looks very high class, Xenon HID headlights with fog/driving lights, rear fog light, side marker lights, ABS system with ESP traction control, all wheel drive, large brakes for good stopping power. Only real downside to this car can be the maintenance costs. It can be a bit expensive for repairs. Find an independent shop that is reasonable and it's not as bad, but be prepared for repair costs. Average maintenance such as oil, washer fluid, wiper blades, etc. are all easy to do. As long as regular/usual maintenance things are done this car is very reliable and an absolute joy to drive."

"Safe for your familiy"

"This car may have saved my kids lives. I recently wrecked my beloved A6 of many years, totalled. With 3 kids in the back seat and myself up front we all walked away completely and totally unharmed. It crumpled up like a tin can but the cabin remained fully intact and no one had even a bruise. I would recommend this fabulous car in a minute! Also, it was really a hoot to drive."

"The Best"

"I bought my AUDI in 2008 with 50K miles on the clock. So far, I do not have any major problem with it (knock the wood). Yes, the maintenance is not cheap, but having any luxury sedan you should expect spending more money to keep the car on the road. Finding a good independent mechanic will save you a lot. From driving standpoint the car is the rock. Nobody can beat the AUDI on the road. Good looking car with all luxury options for less. Go with AUDI."
