Great review. This is a fantastic redesign, it has to be one of the most well-rounded luxury cars out there. Audi is doing a great job with their new cars, with the A6, A7, and A8. And... supercharged? Wow.
I don't care if all this tech is distracting -- it's the future, and there is no denying that. And a touchscreen would make it even more distracting, Mr. Car Reviewer. Audi's current system is genius, and works like a charm. It might take some getting used to, but it's really lovely from from there out.
It's one of those dream machines. I'd rather have this A6 over the current BMW 5-series; well, it's still a great car. I'd like this A6 with the Quattro, but it's around the mid $50K fully loaded.
wish they would offer a beefed up RNS 510 that VW are putting in the 2012 VWs. That touch screen interface is amazing. why does more expensive = less intuitive with sound/driving systems these days?
Its common for reviewers to gripe about too many buttons and the learning curve on using the cars info-tainment systems. Thats because reviewers pick up a new car every week or so and dont get to really learn the car via muscle memory nor care to learn certain shortcuts. Someone owning this car for several years will find the system second nature - it wont happen in a day/week. Whenever I hear reviewers complain about learning how to use a car it's like hearing them complain about their job.
Wow - very happy i chose the A7 over the A6 especially after this review - While the A6 is a very good looking car, doesnt come close to the A7 in styling
Idont know witchone i Like more the mercedes or the audi... Befor i didnt evin need to Decide it would be the e class. But now im split audi is workn there majic
Homer do you think the Mercs in the year range I mentioned are reliable I'm looking at yahoo answers and they're saying that they aren't reliable because of the technology what do you say?
"THE A6 DRIVES A LOT MORE LIKE A BMW THAT MOST MODERN BMW'S DO" ?? AND HOW DO THOSE MODERN BMW'S DRIVE LIKE ?? A LOT MORE LIKE AN A6 ?? :):) IF I BOUGHT A BMW I SURE WOULD OF LIKED IT VERY MUCH IF IT DROVE LIKE A BMW AND NOT MAZDA , TOYOTA OR EVEN WORSE : A CHEVROLET , DODGE OR BUICK :):) SORRY IF IT WAS JUST ME WHO DIDN'T UNDERSTAND . I LOVED THOUGH HOW RELAXED AND COMFORTABLE BEHIND THE WHEEL HE WAS . JUST BY THAT YOU COULD REALIZE THAT IT'S A GREAT CAR . NO DISRESPECT TO THE REVIEWER .
2012 Audi A6 , No power tilt steering wheel, no sunshades ugly gear shift(compare e350, 5 series). consumer reports is providing false information (see 1:44) suspension setting can be changed it's not actually (audi drive select can only change steering engine and transmission). Did he mentioned reliability ? Did he mentioned about gov 5 star crash ratings ? see page 18 from audi a6 2012 brochure
WOW. so dissapointed. looks like my 2007 a6. wats up with the pop up nav screen. guessi gotta schedule an appointment at the bmw dealer tomorrow now aha
seriously the a7 is exactly like the a6 just the body is slightly more uglier, reason being its trying to look like a coupe. and its not worth the 15 g upgrade.
Seriously- do people need more distractions? Such as an overdone center console? No. I predict there will be plenty more accidents due to soccer moms paying more attention to the screen than to the road. Sorry, but that's the horrible truth.

It wasn't affordable when it came out but now it is base model and the fullyloaded ok one!
Proud new owner of this A6, great machine! Even though I got the 2.0 T its fast enough really. Great to drive

The longest commercial on You tube, I patiently waited for the review but it never came.
Hmm, touch screen doesn't take your out of the road? I argue that push and rotate knob is safer than touch screen.
Someone I know bought this car last year in this same color, but he has the diesel version. Very nice car!
I would like you to add" price as tested" info with your outstanding reviews.
It's one of those dream machines. I'd rather have this A6 over the current BMW 5-series; well, it's still a great car. I'd like this A6 with the Quattro, but it's around the mid $50K fully loaded.
Best car in it's class by far... Great Review.
wish they would offer a beefed up RNS 510 that VW are putting in the 2012 VWs. That touch screen interface is amazing. why does more expensive = less intuitive with sound/driving systems these days?
I noticed at the end of the video that the spot where fog lamps are normally placed is just blank. Is this just because of Audi's LED headlights?

@USA4July1776 If you don't mind, could you tell us how much you spent on the 2 week rental, and what it included. Please, thanks.
THE BEST CAR EVER!!!!!
This car is simply majestic, audi rocks! \m/
What do you think compared to the Lexus GS?
this thing destroys the bmw 5
Manual tilt and telescope steering wheel is disappointing for a car that costs over $60000.
No fog lights?
Wow - very happy i chose the A7 over the A6 especially after this review - While the A6 is a very good looking car, doesnt come close to the A7 in styling
Proud owner of supercharged V6 quattro
love brushed metal. wood grain, eh.
What year is this model?
2012.
Consumer Reports!? lol The real reviews come from people who buy the cars A6,E350,5 Serie....not these guys. They're almost totally lost.
It seems like every time I see a newer Audi, the LED headlight bezels are burnt out.
Fun Practical and SOO Beautifull
Sorry guys but truth is BMW is downgrading while Audi is just getting better and better.
Idont know witchone i
Like more the mercedes or the audi...
Befor i didnt evin need to
Decide it would be the e class. But now im split audi is workn there majic
So would you guys recommend this car 2009-2011 for 2014?
Audis generally start falling apart after 5 or so years.
So stick with bmw 3 series of the same year for best reliability or mercedes E class ?
I would say the Merc, but the Bimmer is not far off, and is alot more rewarding to drive.
Homer do you think the Mercs in the year range I mentioned are reliable I'm looking at yahoo answers and they're saying that they aren't reliable because of the technology what do you say?
The Bimmer rankes high for these years actually..just behind the Lexus, witch of course is most reliable

Audi A6 or Mercedes E Coupe with AMG packet

@DevPack the truth can hurt sometimes.
An amazing car aa great review!
I bought my a6 fully loaded for 95'000 after tax
WOW. so dissapointed. looks like my 2007 a6. wats up with the pop up nav screen. guessi gotta schedule an appointment at the bmw dealer tomorrow now aha
wish it had fog lamps
wtf... where is the REVIEW!!! this IS a commercial..
@ADAMYESHOMO um... have you seen your grammar lately?
bwahaha they use the music from Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job!
Omg ..fired this guy please ..always complain those Dam button
seriously the a7 is exactly like the a6 just the body is slightly more uglier, reason being its trying to look like a coupe. and its not worth the 15 g upgrade.
Want a V8?, get an Audi S6.
front is ugly. It should have the A7 face.
A glorified VW Passat! Looks awful. When are they going to ditch the ugly grill?

i dislike CR after their BS reliability survey. Unsubscribe time.
