I bought the A6 with Prestige package, innovation package and 20" Sport package 3.0T. Aviator blue with brown leather interior. I have been out there with the best of them, BMW and Benz and beat them every single time. Not even close.
if the audi is bad, how comes in every fukin video on youtube he won the comparing and still winning??? do you think that guys who testing that cars are idiots or amateurs??? they are proffs dudes!! we are semply drivers not profs and not car engineers!! every people has hes point...but they know what they say!!!
Living in Malaysia, it will change. The A4 is bloody expensive here compared to its counterpart from BMW and Mercedes. I don't think it will change much for the A6. Still, I've seen like less than 10 A6 on the road but the BMW and Mercedes are everywhere on the street. That pretty much says it all. Nonetheless, all three of those are definitely a great car! What this video tells is just their opinion, your experience is what matters in your choice.
BMW has 50/50% weight distrubution between front and rear now, and with traction control and good winter-tires, they are much better on snow and ice than older models, but frontwheel drive is still better on snow and ice. The option list is long, and with lots of expensive toys. The satnavigation on the Audi A6 is obcenely priced, the Plus version costing a whopping 3000£ or more, without more functionality of systems costing 1/3 the price, checking boxes on the option list can be very costly.
these videos really become relevant now seven years later, while looking for a used car. I am thinking Audi. Bmw of this age, I don't know about the reliability. Never saw a brokedown audi, or vw for that matter
If you choose the 2,5 liter or 3,0 inline then it is probably alot more reliable than the a6 and merc. The w212 merc should have the second best and audi at the last spot. I am a bmw guy, but thinking of getting an Audi cause I like all the german cars.
I own an Audi A6 2.0 TFSI since it first came out. I’ve only had one problem so far which was an oil leak but that was expected due to my rough driving, tyres were also a problem but that was all me, driving over nails n stuff. But this A6 has depreciated so much although the performance is a lot better than it’s engine looks. She’s got an in-line 4 turbocharged engine with 211 buff horses and hauling 350 lbs of torque. Which is above average coming out of a 4 cylinder. The diesel TDI gives off 177 horses and 280 lbs of torque which is just enough for a daily driver. Really fun and zippy. Flooring it from zero feels beautiful fyi..
But why you didn't took E350 CGI? :) 215KW, 6.3 sec 0-100(officialy and RaceLogic approves it, even was 6.1 few times., fuel consump.: 8.6 liters. When I bought a W212, I looked at A6 and F10, so I didn't found what I want in them, most stupidly is to tell whats BETTER in your opinion, good luck ;)
i have this new Audi A6 3.0 and it is stunning. the style... the interior design.. the equipment levels is just miles ahead of the 5 Series and E class.. i tested all the models thoroughly and chose the Audi!!!!
I've driven Audis for the past 10 years. I'll never buy another brand. If the Germans think Audi is the best of the 3 brands then they can't be wrong. Keep up the hard work Audi. Audi All the way!!!
Just traded my 2011 520d in for a 2013 3.0 tdi quattro A6 Avant. BMW was/is excellent but Audi just felt a bit more modern and I dreamt of 4WD. Would have been hard to fault a 535d X-drive but we can't get those in the UK. E class is a retiree's car, IMO, though it does look better since the recent facelift.
E-class is for comfort and luxury and bussnies stuff +30 y/o Audi is the best at performance and FUN !! 3.0 diesel makes almost 9L/100 at 250 km/h consumption BMW 5 is good for fun if you wanna play with the back traction ;)
Audis are great! just gotta be careful of the carbon deposit in the TSFI engines and ignition problem, which i am experiencing now with my 2008 A6 3.2 Quattro
sorry but I can't stand Audi's small, medium, and large design approach. Barring the massive dimensions of the A8, you can't tell an A4 and A6 apart at first glance... or second or third for that matter. Only car enthusiasts can spot the subtle differences. And it won't be so bad if the design itself was eye catching, but I find them to be way too plain and boring. BMWs aren't special enough for my liking. They pass off as being premium, rather than luxury... in other words, business class versus first class. For my money it's Mercedes which has unique designs for each models, are luxurious to ride in and drive, and has the most brand pedigree.
Me too I now can't tell the difference between a now 3series and 5 series and it got confusing coz the 7series looks like a 5series . Again look at the E Class it does look exactly like S class , the new S class coupe u can easily confuse it with E class coupe . Now the new C class looks like a small S class. So what's the problem with audi . ????? I love the New X5 but it takes me a few seconds to differentiate it with X3 coz now the St looks a tiny bit smaller than its precesor
Have u seen the sporty front bumper of the Mercedes ??? The S class looks like E class now the C class sporty front bumper just looks the same I don't get it. Looks at the sporty version of S63 , E class , E class coupe and now C lass . Exactly the same . Now I'm even more disappointed with the news of Maybach . I know Mercedes owns it but it used to look a tiny bit different but this new 2015 is a disappointment becoz it's a stretched S class with Mercedes sign in front but a few Maybach signature inside . But why ????? Really a good name given to a long wheelbase S class hmm
The quality of the interior is best on the Audi, closely followed by BMW and Mercedes. I think the BMW is the most comfortable of the two, BMW and Audi, that said, the BMW still has the sport feel BMW is known for. I lean to the BMW, even I know Audi is the best car for Norwegian winters.
i had a bmw (e39) and now a w212 e class. from my experience, the BMW was more fun to drive but bumpy and unbalanced. My Mercedes has awesome comfort but drives slow :(
Tesla Model S is gorgeous, but I wouldn't go electric. For starters electric motors are not s capable on high speeds as the petrol equivalents are, granted they have high torque which results in fast acceleration. Electric cars also don't have the flexibility of filling up and going some more like petrol engines do, in which they take lots of time to recharge their batteries. I'm putting my money on Hydrogen cars like the Honda FCX Clarity, or on some internal combustion powered hydrogen car
Cry me a river dear BMW fans, dear Mercedes-Benz fans, Audi is just the best! And you start 2 have Problems with electronic on a E-Class after 2 years, and BMW after 5... i just had the old E, the old 5 and know what im talking about, just shit crap cars you have 2 spend all your money 2 repair this shitty cars... but then, i bought my first Audi in 2004, a A6 2.5 TDI and NEVER I HAD SUCH PROBLEMS AS WITH BMW OR MERC! Fuck BMW, Fuck Benz! Audi Rules! Just the best car of the world for real man
I would much rather buy a Tesla Model S. Seriously, check it out. These cars are last century tech. Tesla is the future. These cars will simply fade away because battery tech is improving steadily and prices are dropping 8-14% a year. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes know this. Imagine a car that does 119mpg, 0-60 in 4.4 sec., and costs just a dollar a day to keep going. That is the reality of the Tesla Model S Performance. Plus it is simply much more practical and looks better to boot. GO TESLA!
Hold on, "The Mercedes is a bit too 'seasoned' - that's left BMW and Audi to battle it out". I'm sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Seasoned: "To heighten or improve the flavour by adding condiments, spices, herbs, or the like" 2. "To give relish or a certain character to" What are you trying to say by the Merc being "too seasoned". Are you trying to suggest that it is too beyond its class and hence is the worst as a result? WTF?
The BMW will drive good forever and it will hold its value the best, but you will hate it if its style doesn't age properly. The Audi will be good value in 10 years because its value will fall like a heavy object without a parachute because of repairs, but it will never lose its quality. The Merc will either lose all value and become to expensive to repair, or it will lose all value but in 20 years be a really cool car. Look at the 80's and 90's. Take stupid golf jokes out of the equation.
look people, audi is good you can't deny german efficacy and quality of there cars, but tbh, I know a lot of people that moved to audi and moved back to bmw... why?well for your info, it isn't as safe as u think, and i am talking about the latest models of audi's and bmw's,.... a4 and a6 s-line, tbh, merc is getting old and many many people are getting out of that shit now, they are unreliable anyway, ecu etc..... bmw just need to gain there quality again and boom! and even last years sales 1
That Audi wins I don't quite understand, for they said that the BMW is more confortable but pricier. Should comfort not have its price. why should that make audi win. Audi does own BMW in acceleration due to its lightweight chasis made from aluminum which also lets it stop faster. BMW does have the best, in my oppinion, entertainment system compared to mercedes and Audi. mercedes has gotten a bit old and one should be able to tell. Audi though announced that they were not going to make an S6 wh
Mercedes is more comfortable than a BMW. Audi is more luxurious than a BMW. The A6 is faster to 60 and has more power, so I don't know what you mean in terms of performance? BMW's are 5x more likely to break down than any other German car manufacturer. So, I think you've just been owned there. The only reason people buy BMW's in because they have sport driving dynamics and great handling. Audi and Merc have all that plus the luxury, refinement and comfort values.
BMW's cheapest model is $29,000 whereas Audi's is only $20,000. And also, I'd rather have an A1 than a 1-Series because the BM is the ugliest thing since the Porsche Cayenne. I said that you fool. The A1 is direct competitor to the Mini NOT BMW. The VW is far from being a premium vehicle. Audi use the same outline as the Golf and then give it Audi flare and polish to make it 10x better. You need to get a grip. I'd honestly rather have a Merc than a beamer. Fact!
@CalvinS63 Wrong. At least BMW's cheapest model (the 1 Series) starts at about USD29,000 as distinct from Audi's A1 (USD20,000) or Mercedes-Benz A-Class (USD20,000). Deduct them and the advantage will become hopeless for BMW's competitors. The A1 is a direct competitor to Mini but not BMW, and if we follow your logic, we should consider VW Golf as a premium vehicle as well, but it isn't so in real.
But BMW isn't leading, Audi is. BMW are far more superior. Audi's have better fuel economy, looks, engines, interior and exterior's. You mean to say that because Audi is owned by VW that makes it shit? You do know VW also own Seat, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti and Skoda. All those car companies are doing alright and make decent cars. Bentley, Lambo and Audi, however, are all in a class of their own. BMW doesn't hold a patch on an Audi.
@iggibars If sales mean nothing to you, then you're far from reality, kid. And your empty comment proved that you understand nothing in marketing as well since Camry isn't in the same league with the 5 Series, E-Class and the A6. Since 2005 BMW has firmly held the best-selling premium brand title. All your Audi can do is to name its USD20000 A1 a premium vehicle in order not to lag far behind BMW. As for reviews they're not as unanimous as you say (as you'd like).
@BabkenBMW,Owning a car doesn't make me biased. Not owning one and falsely claiming crap does. Sales means jack in this world...if it does, all of our cars are getting beaten by a Camry! Also, the A6 was just unveiled, and has had a MUCH shorter delivery time span than that of BMW/Merc. But, I guess you meant to leave out the fact that BMW/Merc/Lexus have been loosing sales to Audi. Also, my facts are based on actual car reviews and test...Car & Driver, CR, MT, etc. They all say the same thing.
So you'd rather have a standard BMW 1-Series diesel over a growling 6.2 litre V8 AMG SLS with 563 triumphant German horse power teamed with brutal rear wheel drive and state-of-the-art launch control? I think someone's been a naughty boy and taken awfully strong drugs because you're just being ludicrous!
@CalvinS63 That's why BMW's sales are increasing at a rapid rate. Your comment can't even stand criticism. All your Audi can do is to produce a USD20,000 A1 and call that Golf-status vehicle a premium one in order no to lag far behind BMW. But even in that case they do lag behind. So I don't regard a Golf-like brand (Audi) as a real competitor to BMW.
That hardly anyone. The stats show that more people are leaving BMW for Audi. Audi's are better looking, they have nicer interiors, far more luxurious, better engines and create amazing noises from the exhausts. BMW are shit. There is only one BMW I actually like and that's the new 6-Series Coupe and Gran Coupe.
@dufferego87 well unfortunatley all the german auto makers are going for better fuel economy new m5 has a v8 TT more HP and torque then predicesor, same with audi in there new S models, i think for better fuel economy Audi should keep the V8 TT's in there S models and do V8 Supercharged in there RS models
it's very funny how people think that audi's or bmw's are better than mercedes! they're all amateur drivers! Do you think that taxi drivers chose the e-class because they don't know nothing about cars or because they're cheap? They drive the e-class because time has proved that it's the best!
dude, you are so wrong... i got the old a6 3.0 TDI, it as never let me down! my friend has an S class and ML, and he is having constant problems, and as for the BMW, i havent yet enterd a 5 series that didnt have a warning light on... Audi is the best, no question about that...
@8150shaf I don't want "power" from an AMG model, I just didn't want a slug - which is what the E350 is when compared to the A6 v6 or 535xi. Besides, you can't even get an AMG in awd. If I wanted that much power, there's the M or RS models, which are way better at handling the power they have.
@iggibars So you're driving an A6, aren't you? So now I see which of us is biased. You haven't so far brought clear facts but your subjective and unsupported viewpoint. I'll bring one of just many: the 5 Series is the clear leader in its segment in terms of sales.
citroen ???????? your kidding me right ?? its not even in the same class as these three german luxury car makers!!!!!! citroen wishes it was as good as these 3
Bullshit. Thats an argument from the stone age. ALL the engines from german high class manufacturers "don't die". If they do it's the stupid drivers fault most of the time (driving in high refs when the engine is still cold, not doing oil changes etc.)
Audi is beautiful on the inside, no competition. But with the facelifted A4 and A5 coming, the A6 looks just like any other Audi, including the A1, which is bad for a 55k+ car. As for the BMW, I hate how glossy the wood is, looks like plastic
I love audi a lot. Seriously, maybe it's the top of these 3 brands, but honestly I'm tired of looking so many audi's on the road nowadays. I live in Curacao and it looks like they give these cars away for free
I love the A6 Avant. It's my workhorse. Dogs in the back, cutting through the mud, I've had no problems. It also does the Yorkshire - Cornwall drive to meet the family very comfortably. I don't care about acceleration times, the MPG is my priority.
the only reason the xf and es are not in here is cuz jaguar doesnt have a siginificant enough market share (even though it is the best) and the es is a cheapo, boring version of all "luxury" midsize sedans
:O??? bmw 325 (218hp) vs audi A4 (211hp)=bmw wins, bmw 135 vs s3= bmw wins. in all categories for the same price the bmw allways wins. audi its volkswagen, same motros diferen faces
bmw and mini forgiveness but only share an engine, the 1.6T. audi and volkswagen in share engines and chassis box, the case of golf or passat a3 and a4, is the same!
@agkjsdghjfkghsfdjkgh In China, every government official's car is audi A6 except the president level. especially in beijing, u see parade of A6 everyday on the street..lol
@CalvinS63 Because Audi is the most Boring car that I ever driven and Owned, and will never ever buy one again, I would buy a Skoda or whatever but never an Audi..
@CalvinS63 some people do not like to drive a car that looks just like any other Audi. They are good but all look the same plus never forget that you are sitting in a VW.
@iggibars If you want power buy the AMG. This is a luxury refined car, the E Class is selling better than the other two. The facts speak for themselves.
The BMWs 8speed automatic is perfect, with seamless shifting, amazing, and even it is a conventional automatic with a torque converter, it do not use more fuel than the manual version, 520d, and over 50 miles to gallon, amazing for a 1,8 ton car. Make sure you check the radar cruisecontrol on the option list, and the lane assist system, the best improvement on active safety for cars for many years.
Yep. It's more luxurious than the others. And since this is a midsize luxury sedan competition (not a midsize sport competition), I say it wins hands down.
A3 v.s 1-Series = Audi A4 v.s 3-Series = Audi A5 v.s 3-Series Coupe = Audi A6 v.s 5-Series = Audi A8 v.s 7-Series = Audi Why, oh why would anyone buy a BMW over an Audi, seriously?
A3 was always better than 1series. 3 series was always better than A4. A6 is too hard, but sharp and looks better I give it a personal preference here. A8 think is better too than the 7 series.
lo siento pero bmw y mini solo comparten un motor, el 1.6T. en cambio audi y volkswagen comparten motores caja y chasis, el caso del golf y a3 o el passat y el a4, is the same!
In terms of sales, I guess BMW is on top only for one reason: they have so many different segments filled which ultimately results in all BMW's being the same. The A1 is a premium car - for it's class. Meaning more so than a Mini, Fiat 500 etc, etc.. Choice? A1 (3dr, 5dr), A3 S3 RS3 (3dr, 5dr, Conv) A4 S4 RS4 (4dr, 5dr, conv, all-road) A5 S5 RS5 (2dr, 5 dr, conv) A6 S6 RS6 (4dr, 5dr) A7 S7 (5dr) A8 S8 (4dr) Q3, Q5, Q7, TT TTS TTRS (2dr, Conv) R8 V8 R8 V10 R8 GT (2dr, Conv). Lots to choose from.
The Audi looks sharper, has a more luxurious cabin and the quattro system is the best in the business. For ride comfort and space and the for prestige, the Merc wins. I have had two BMWs and though they are fabulous cars to drive, they are riddled with faults. They also have the expensive run flat tyres which ruins the ride of the car.
The man on the video above states that "In terms of sportiness, the A6 turns the tables of the BMW and OVER TAKES IT". Also, the Audi is cheaper, more economical, 0.4 seconds faster to 60. Even though the Audi is actually heavier it manages to do that. So, I think a giant "FUCK YOU" is in order.
I am a BMW fan and owner (e92 335i), but hands down for new a6, front is just to sexy for this planet.
I agree !
I bought the A6 with Prestige package, innovation package and 20" Sport package 3.0T. Aviator blue with brown leather interior. I have been out there with the best of them, BMW and Benz and beat them every single time. Not even close.
Audi is best
Bmw is going to die in a shit hole
audi for ever!
Audi a6 best...looks better than BMW
Performance is most important. I'd go for the BM.
if the audi is bad, how comes in every fukin video on youtube he won the comparing and still winning??? do you think that guys who testing that cars are idiots or amateurs??? they are proffs dudes!! we are semply drivers not profs and not car engineers!! every people has hes point...but they know what they say!!!
Audi the best
vw
Audi is best ever. Forever.
😆😆😆Not even close.

The BMW will walk all over a FWD car

In general, used bmw is less reliable than used mercedes or probably audi too.

@@musheer5711really depends which car you choose, some BMW's are the most reliable in their segment.
Audi too zippy!? It's pretty sad when it out performs the BMW that you feel the need to say it's a bad thing
love Audi :x

Audi 4ever
@e39black540,
Shows how much you know about the new BMW 5-Series vs. the new A6. The A6 trumps it in nearly every category, including handling!
THANK YOU GERMANY I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING AUDI!!

Haha maybe in 2 years when Im due for a change
everyone starts to like audi now lol
i have the Mercedes any day
currently, i can't decide between the 5Series and the A6, though I've had my A4 for a while and it's been treating me quite well lol. German cars
The BMW is twin scroll not twin-turbo kids
Narrowc ross can you explain what a twin scroll is? lmao

Fuck BMW, Fuck Benz! Audi Rules! Just the best car of the world for real man
I would much rather buy a Tesla Model S. Seriously, check it out. These cars are last century tech. Tesla is the future. These cars will simply fade away because battery tech is improving steadily and prices are dropping 8-14% a year. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes know this.

Hold on, "The Mercedes is a bit too 'seasoned' - that's left BMW and Audi to battle it out".
I'm sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Seasoned: "To heighten or improve the flavour by adding condiments, spices, herbs, or the like"
2. "To give relish or a certain character to"
What are you trying to say by the Merc being "too seasoned". Are you trying to suggest that it is too beyond its class and hence is the worst as a result? WTF?
The BMW will drive good forever and it will hold its value the best, but you will hate it if its style doesn't age properly. The Audi will be good value in 10 years because its value will fall like a heavy object without a parachute because of repairs, but it will never lose its quality. The Merc will either lose all value and become to expensive to repair, or it will lose all value but in 20 years be a really cool car. Look at the 80's and 90's.
Take stupid golf jokes out of the equation.

Mercedes is more comfortable than a BMW. Audi is more luxurious than a BMW. The A6 is faster to 60 and has more power, so I don't know what you mean in terms of performance? BMW's are 5x more likely to break down than any other German car manufacturer. So, I think you've just been owned there. The only reason people buy BMW's in because they have sport driving dynamics and great handling. Audi and Merc have all that plus the luxury, refinement and comfort values.
BMW's cheapest model is $29,000 whereas Audi's is only $20,000. And also, I'd rather have an A1 than a 1-Series because the BM is the ugliest thing since the Porsche Cayenne. I said that you fool. The A1 is direct competitor to the Mini NOT BMW. The VW is far from being a premium vehicle. Audi use the same outline as the Golf and then give it Audi flare and polish to make it 10x better. You need to get a grip. I'd honestly rather have a Merc than a beamer. Fact!
@CalvinS63
Wrong. At least BMW's cheapest model (the 1 Series) starts at about USD29,000 as distinct from Audi's A1 (USD20,000) or Mercedes-Benz A-Class (USD20,000). Deduct them and the advantage will become hopeless for BMW's competitors. The A1 is a direct competitor to Mini but not BMW, and if we follow your logic, we should consider VW Golf as a premium vehicle as well, but it isn't so in real.
But BMW isn't leading, Audi is. BMW are far more superior. Audi's have better fuel economy, looks, engines, interior and exterior's. You mean to say that because Audi is owned by VW that makes it shit? You do know VW also own Seat, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti and Skoda. All those car companies are doing alright and make decent cars. Bentley, Lambo and Audi, however, are all in a class of their own. BMW doesn't hold a patch on an Audi.
@iggibars
If sales mean nothing to you, then you're far from reality, kid. And your empty comment proved that you understand nothing in marketing as well since Camry isn't in the same league with the 5 Series, E-Class and the A6. Since 2005 BMW has firmly held the best-selling premium brand title. All your Audi can do is to name its USD20000 A1 a premium vehicle in order not to lag far behind BMW. As for reviews they're not as unanimous as you say (as you'd like).
@BabkenBMW,Owning a car doesn't make me biased. Not owning one and falsely claiming crap does. Sales means jack in this world...if it does, all of our cars are getting beaten by a Camry! Also, the A6 was just unveiled, and has had a MUCH shorter delivery time span than that of BMW/Merc. But, I guess you meant to leave out the fact that BMW/Merc/Lexus have been loosing sales to Audi. Also, my facts are based on actual car reviews and test...Car & Driver, CR, MT, etc. They all say the same thing.
So you'd rather have a standard BMW 1-Series diesel over a growling 6.2 litre V8 AMG SLS with 563 triumphant German horse power teamed with brutal rear wheel drive and state-of-the-art launch control? I think someone's been a naughty boy and taken awfully strong drugs because you're just being ludicrous!
@CalvinS63
That's why BMW's sales are increasing at a rapid rate. Your comment can't even stand criticism. All your Audi can do is to produce a USD20,000 A1 and call that Golf-status vehicle a premium one in order no to lag far behind BMW. But even in that case they do lag behind. So I don't regard a Golf-like brand (Audi) as a real competitor to BMW.
That hardly anyone. The stats show that more people are leaving BMW for Audi. Audi's are better looking, they have nicer interiors, far more luxurious, better engines and create amazing noises from the exhausts. BMW are shit. There is only one BMW I actually like and that's the new 6-Series Coupe and Gran Coupe.
@dufferego87 well unfortunatley all the german auto makers are going for better fuel economy new m5 has a v8 TT more HP and torque then predicesor, same with audi in there new S models, i think for better fuel economy Audi should keep the V8 TT's in there S models and do V8 Supercharged in there RS models
it's very funny how people think that audi's or bmw's are better than mercedes! they're all amateur drivers! Do you think that taxi drivers chose the e-class because they don't know nothing about cars or because they're cheap? They drive the e-class because time has proved that it's the best!
dude, you are so wrong... i got the old a6 3.0 TDI, it as never let me down! my friend has an S class and ML, and he is having constant problems, and as for the BMW, i havent yet enterd a 5 series that didnt have a warning light on... Audi is the best, no question about that...
@8150shaf I don't want "power" from an AMG model, I just didn't want a slug - which is what the E350 is when compared to the A6 v6 or 535xi. Besides, you can't even get an AMG in awd. If I wanted that much power, there's the M or RS models, which are way better at handling the power they have.
@iggibars
So you're driving an A6, aren't you? So now I see which of us is biased. You haven't so far brought clear facts but your subjective and unsupported viewpoint. I'll bring one of just many: the 5 Series is the clear leader in its segment in terms of sales.
citroen ???????? your kidding me right ?? its not even in the same class as these three german luxury car makers!!!!!! citroen wishes it was as good as these 3
Bullshit. Thats an argument from the stone age. ALL the engines from german high class manufacturers "don't die". If they do it's the stupid drivers fault most of the time (driving in high refs when the engine is still cold, not doing oil changes etc.)
Audi is beautiful on the inside, no competition. But with the facelifted A4 and A5 coming, the A6 looks just like any other Audi, including the A1, which is bad for a 55k+ car.
As for the BMW, I hate how glossy the wood is, looks like plastic
I love audi a lot. Seriously, maybe it's the top of these 3 brands, but honestly I'm tired of looking so many audi's on the road nowadays. I live in Curacao and it looks like they give these cars away for free
I love the A6 Avant. It's my workhorse. Dogs in the back, cutting through the mud, I've had no problems. It also does the Yorkshire - Cornwall drive to meet the family very comfortably. I don't care about acceleration times, the MPG is my priority.
the only reason the xf and es are not in here is cuz jaguar doesnt have a siginificant enough market share (even though it is the best) and the es is a cheapo, boring version of all "luxury" midsize sedans
:O??? bmw 325 (218hp) vs audi A4 (211hp)=bmw wins, bmw 135 vs s3= bmw wins. in all categories for the same price the bmw allways wins. audi its volkswagen, same motros diferen faces
bmw and mini forgiveness but only share an engine, the 1.6T. audi and volkswagen in share engines and chassis box, the case of golf or passat a3 and a4, is the same!
@agkjsdghjfkghsfdjkgh In China, every government official's car is audi A6 except the president level. especially in beijing, u see parade of A6 everyday on the street..lol
@CalvinS63
Because Audi is the most Boring car that I ever driven and Owned, and will never ever buy one again, I would buy a Skoda or whatever but never an Audi..
@CalvinS63 some people do not like to drive a car that looks just like any other Audi. They are good but all look the same plus never forget that you are sitting in a VW.
@iggibars If you want power buy the AMG. This is a luxury refined car, the E Class is selling better than the other two. The facts speak for themselves.
@plutoamun - I love German cars - but not because they can get girls. If a guy needs a certain car to get a girl then he has another problem.
merc is king audi is like passat with oder badge a bmw like 3 serius just they litle strech merc looks awesome
IN Kanal Just tell us are you serious with this statement or is it just a joke to make us laugh how pointless it is? Hahah..
@iggibars
Grow up, little kid, and get familiar with the current market situation. BMW owns Mercedes-Benz leaving no chance.
Ouch... Audi beating the BMW on performance?! oooof...BMW sucks, the 3 series, 5 series, and 7 series all look the same
BMW, always the strongest pimp, who slaps with his purple pimp hand in da FACE!
BMW M-Power rocks my world
AUDI Wins. YEAH !
BMW is Overpriced as always.LOL ( big money wasted )
Benz is the ultimate granny's car.LOL.
@rms1163 - you do realize that Audi's are more reliable nowadays than BMW's right??? Especially in Europe....
@iggibars
That's why the whole world chooses the 5 Series despite it costs more than the mediocre A6.
you know if mercs and audis are so good, why do they sell less than their same class bimmer rivals?
The BMWs 8speed automatic is perfect, with seamless shifting, amazing, and even it is a conventional automatic with a torque converter, it do not use more fuel than the manual version, 520d, and over 50 miles to gallon, amazing for a 1,8 ton car.
Make sure you check the radar cruisecontrol on the option list, and the lane assist system, the best improvement on active safety for cars for many years.
Yep. It's more luxurious than the others. And since this is a midsize luxury sedan competition (not a midsize sport competition), I say it wins hands down.
not really... i did check and the 5 series does have a higher sales number than any other audi...
You are wrong here in America older people drive Mercedes and the younger drive BMW and Audi.
Well ya the motor is a W16 who do you think builds it? btw typing in all caps lol you're a goof
audi - THE LEGEND OF FOUR RINGS.
the legend of 4 shits💩💩💩💩
audi the genesis of the LEGENDARY QUATTRO.
audi 5.5 sec to 100 and bmw 5.9...how is that the best performance for bmw out of all 3???
E Class - Golf Players
5 Series - Golf Players in next 5-10 years
A6 - WTF is Golf???
BMW should be getting scared...Audi has now beat them out in 5 of their main models
Are you sure that you don't have A4 or A8 because they all look the same :)
not really. mercs are great for comfort and in this case great for passengers.
A6 is gorgeous...thats what a car should look like...bmw and merc....just suck
audi looks waaaay better than the others....and the eclass just looks boring
Haha ya sure pal have fun paying 40k+ for a 2.0T engine you get in a jetta
all 3 are very nice cars ...but I don't know why the BMW is the car for me
Audi is faster in straight line
BMW has better handling
Benz is safer
bmw is the best of the three audi is a wack car
A3 v.s 1-Series = Audi
A4 v.s 3-Series = Audi
A5 v.s 3-Series Coupe = Audi
A6 v.s 5-Series = Audi
A8 v.s 7-Series = Audi
Why, oh why would anyone buy a BMW over an Audi, seriously?
A3 was always better than 1series. 3 series was always better than A4. A6 is too hard, but sharp and looks better I give it a personal preference here. A8 think is better too than the 7 series.
I would definitely go for the Mercedes. I love the ride etc. I like luxury.
lol probably in Germany you would see that not over here boy
The mercedes looks stupid.
1. BMW
2. Audi
3. Mercedes
@republicfalcon the es is not in this class the gs is
lo siento pero bmw y mini solo comparten un motor, el 1.6T. en cambio audi y volkswagen comparten motores caja y chasis, el caso del golf y a3 o el passat y el a4, is the same!
Rolling Stones are Better than the Beatles
Hahaha...AGREE
In terms of sales, I guess BMW is on top only for one reason: they have so many different segments filled which ultimately results in all BMW's being the same. The A1 is a premium car - for it's class. Meaning more so than a Mini, Fiat 500 etc, etc.. Choice? A1 (3dr, 5dr), A3 S3 RS3 (3dr, 5dr, Conv) A4 S4 RS4 (4dr, 5dr, conv, all-road) A5 S5 RS5 (2dr, 5 dr, conv) A6 S6 RS6 (4dr, 5dr) A7 S7 (5dr) A8 S8 (4dr) Q3, Q5, Q7, TT TTS TTRS (2dr, Conv) R8 V8 R8 V10 R8 GT (2dr, Conv). Lots to choose from.
The Audi looks sharper, has a more luxurious cabin and the quattro system is the best in the business. For ride comfort and space and the for prestige, the Merc wins. I have had two BMWs and though they are fabulous cars to drive, they are riddled with faults. They also have the expensive run flat tyres which ruins the ride of the car.
The man on the video above states that "In terms of sportiness, the A6 turns the tables of the BMW and OVER TAKES IT". Also, the Audi is cheaper, more economical, 0.4 seconds faster to 60. Even though the Audi is actually heavier it manages to do that. So, I think a giant "FUCK YOU" is in order.
