Our opinion on Audi A6 Saloon
The Audi A6 Saloon is usually a bit cheaper than the equivalent BMW 5 Series or Mercedes E-Class. Audi has done a good job with the Audi A6's handling. Body control is excellent and, in Quattro four-wheel drive guise, levels of grip and traction are impressive. However the Audi A6’s ride is very firm over poor surfaces, although it is not uncomfortable. The Audi A6 Saloon changes direction sharply, resists roll and clings on well. Sporty the Audi A6 may be, but refinement has not been overlooked. The Audi A6 Saloon is remarkably hushed up to motorway speeds. The automatic gearbox on The Audi A6 Saloon changes gear almost imperceptibly, but there is some slight baulking across the gate with the manual. The Audi A6 does have what's probably the best cockpit in the executive car sector. Longer and lower than any rival, the Audi A6 Saloon is undoubtedly one of the most stylish cars in its class. Its fresh design, slender panel gaps and curvaceous bodywork are pretty much unmatched. Those Audi A6 attractive looks haven't come at the expense of packaging. At 546 litres, the boot is bigger than the mighty Mercedes E-Class, while rear seat space is plentiful - although the raised centre perch and big transmission tunnel means it's limited to carrying four, rather than five, in comfort.
