AUDI A6 (2004-CURRENT)
We Say...
Voted once as "World Car of the Year", it's hard to fault the Audi A6, well maybe for that snout grille. In any case, the A6 is excellently finished inside and out with good space and logical ergonomics. Driving experience, especially front drivers are no match for the Bimmers, but it's more comfortable. Best experienced with TDI power.
Spells quality with a capital "Q".
Forgettable styling, driving not as sharp as we'd hope.
