Summary

2009 Audi A6

The Audi A6 is a driver's sedan that never forgets it's a luxury four-door. It's a wonderful car for quick commuting, long-distance high-speed travel, and spirited driving. It's smooth, quiet, polished and has all the requisite amenities. It competes with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series in terms of efficient performance and safe and secure motoring, particularly when weather enters the picture. And in this class it's a decent value proposition as well, typically undercutting its primary competitors on price but not content.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent G.R. Whale filed this report after his test drive of the complete A6 line (3.2, 3.0T, Avant and S6 in Los Angeles, and 3.0 TDI and RS6 Avant in Germany), with Mitch McCullough reporting on the A6 from Milan, Greg Brown driving in Italy's Dolomites, and Kirk Bell in the S6 in Chicago.
