AUDI A6 (2004-CURRENT)
We Say...
Voted as "World Car of the Year" it's hard to fault the Audi A6... well maybe except for that snout-like grille. In any case, the A6 is excellently finished inside and out with logical ergonomics and good space. Driving experience is not BMW 5 Series league, but overall it feels much more comfortable. Best experienced with TDI power.
Spells quality with a capital "Q".
Forgettable styling, driving not as sharp as we'd hope.
