2009 Audi A6 Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Audi A6:

[W]ith optional adaptive headlight technology ... bi-xenon headlights swivel to improve night views on twisting pavement.

-- Cars.com

An "advanced key" option allows you to start the car without digging around for the key at the bottom of your purse or briefcase. Sensors recognize the key, and to start the car, you press the "engine start" button.

-- Cars.com

The cabin is eerily quiet. There aren't many cars that strike you with their silence -- the A6 is one of them.

-- Edmunds.com

Gorgeous wood and leather color combinations again demonstrate Audi's current dominance in interior design.

What reviewers liked least about the Audi A6:

The new rear end may look more appealing, but the design leaves the cavernous trunk with a too-small opening.

-- Cars.com

The A6 now uses Audi's Multi Media Interface (MMI) system to control the car's various functions from one central push-and-turn knob, and like the A8 we still find it more trouble than it's worth.

-- Edmunds.com

Lack of adjustable pedals.

-- Edmunds.com

Steering ... still seemed a little light at times.

Audi A6 Comparisons:

A fabulous ride, on par with Mercedes-Benz or BMW.

-- Cars.com

Rear seats [have] slightly more room than either the 5 Series or the E-Class.

-- Edmunds.com

Even with a $3,000 premium package and a $750 set of 17-inch wheels, our A6 still came in $2,000 less than that base 530i. And that's for an A6 with 30 more horsepower, all-wheel drive, a top-shelf audio system and one of the most elegant cabins in the business.
