I really love your video quality. Very HD. and 4K! 10/10 would watch more often
Audi is the best!
The A6 has the most beautiful grill.
Hi guys: I am a fan of you guys' reviews. I am wondering if you guys can provide cabin noise level in the future review especially for family hauler vehicles. I take long road trip very often and really like quiet vehicle.
Thanks,
Hongthan2010 I bought a 2016 Audi A6. I'm also a former valet car driver who has driven literally thousands of different cars. I have never heard a quieter car in all my life than my new Audi A6. It's stunningly quiet. I'll be cruising along, guessing that I'm doing 55 MPH, look down at the speedometer, and realize that I'm doing 80+ MPH! I didn't realize, until having this car, just exactly how much people subconsciously judge their speed by how loud the sound is. At 80 MPH the engine is turning a paltry 2,000 RPMs which is unbelievably quiet. My Passat is doing well over 4,000 RPMs at 80 MPH. I'm about to take delivery on a set of Lloyd's Luxe Mats to go over the top of my current factory mats. Those thick, heavy mats will make the interior even quieter.
Don't you get the A6 with the 3.0 V6 Diesel engines in the US? The perfect engines for the A6. Tons of torque and hp and quiet...
I have 1. TDI S-Line. It's amazing!!! You can get a TDI, 3.0T, or 2.0T
I had a 2012 US spec 3.0 Supercharged with 8 speed and rented a 2018/2019 German Spec TDI. The TDI was nice, economical on the AutoBahn even doing a fairly steady 90-100 MPH....yes you will get passed by grandmas in Opel station wagons if you don’t. If your not passing the police by about 10-15 MPH above their speed....they consider it an insult.....weather and road conditions permitting of course..... I rented the TDI but I would be curious at how the regular 3.0T would handle both fuel eco and performance on the AutoBahn at the same speeds.....
Luxury performance and technology wise 2012 + models are head and shoulders above the previous generation (C5). I can honestly compare since I had both 2010 and 2012.
What camera do you use The Fast Lane Car ?! :)
Good one, Roman. This car does come with a diesel option. 3.0L V-6 240 HP 428 ft.lbs. @ 1,750 rpm I think many people would like the diesel in this car, compared to the 2.0 petrol engine.
+LarryC213
Yeah but diesel is expensive.
ravenwda007
It is ten more cents per gallon where I live in NC. That is less than a 5.3% increase, and you get more than a 5.3% increase in fuel efficiency.
Some of the best looking cars out there! So damn perfect looking!
yep,i have one :)
I Know Da Wae hope u enjoy it :)
is it possible to remotely start the A6 via a phone app? like what ford did in their 2017 models... (ford pass)
i know that there is an app for audi i think its called audi connect but im not sure if you can start the engine with it
Califronia looks nice this time of year.
My GTI needs that version of the 2.0T.
Maybe the 2.0T is louder , or the camera is placed where its' louder, but my 3.0T is super quiet, almost too quiet when you get on the gas. I'd be interested in how much quieter the cabin is vs my 2013.
Bru what this is not loud.
@@freshyjones9062 Of course you get the guy with "I have a V8 muscle car that rumbles the neighbors teeth at idle" .. everyone has their own likes and measures.
those are some steady hands
冯雨樵 practice ;)
+ jacob Bendah I agree, 2.0 TDI?
And I'm here still driving my 2000 audi a6 4.2 145,000 miles and going strong!
would you say its reliable ? for first car ?
+Luis Corona It's not the most reliable car it's my first car too it's very fast and smooth to drive but very expensive to maintain and run, the transmission went out at 100,000 miles, then the lifters and timing belt were replaced. Now it has an oil leak coming from an unknown location, the headlights will oxidize and have to be replaced or repaired. The shocks go bad around 130,000 miles. The throttle body is faulty too and will leave you stranded and costs 300 for a rebuilt one not even new. The vacuum lines have to carefully watched because they are cheap cloth. The simple maintenence is also really expensive. So I would say no its not a reliable car, it is reliable if it's extremely well maintained and not treated badly. My family has owned this car since new and even though we maintain it extremely well and have all the service don't at a an audi dealership it still has a lot of reliability problems.
+Luis Corona Also the whole steering system has to be replaced due to wear and audi dealer is quoting 5,000 for parts and labor.
oh ok thank you for your details
+Luis Corona if you maintain it well and have everything fixed up it will run great
Can somebody please tell me the name of the song starting at 40 seconds?
What kind of camera is used?
Drove a new a4 last week(zipcar). Felt ever bump in the road. For a 30 grand car,that sucks. The Chevy volt,same price range I tested,drove with less feeling every crack in the road. For some reason,I like a car that I don't feel every bump in the road.
wrong, they do pump sound into the cabin. have a 15 s4 that does it. i have a new s6 prestige misano red coming thursday!
How long will this vehicle last?....& what's it going to be worth in 5-10yrs? I was told my Audi employee that "Audi's are supposed to be Leased & not bought.
That's true for all German cars. Plus the car manufacturers make way more money when they can lease then cpo a car.
Luv the car....
If this now the most fuel efficient in the line up. Did they drop the TDI model? I hope not cause I really want to get one in that configuration.
No. Roman meant to say - the most efficient updated gasoline motor. The diesel carries over.
Sweet! Keep up the great work guys! Truly jealous of you guys...
Evan H. There was one commercial where Audi stated that their new Audi A6 will go 1,000 miles on a tank of diesel. So very efficient
That's the one I want John Paul Reis. Audi A6 TDI
only the Volkswagen made 2L TDI models that Audi shares with passat and others were problematic. the 3L Audi made engines are still available.
Older headlights on the A6 looked so much more appealing and agressive
broskies1 ikr, like the taillights better on the new one tho
Hey what road was that at 1:59?
陈文杰 highway 17
They call it a facelift here in the England
***** He meant about the use of the term "mid cycle refresh"!
is the tdi not more fuel efficient? and has a lot more hp and tq
George more tq u mean?
Whats not to like? Came for an Audi and to me, I assumed it would be AWD. OOPS, wrong video for me. Thanks for the video.
In case anyone was wondering, they did not drop the TDI models. Since the whole Volkswagen Dieselgate thing is still going on, all diesel engines on brands that VW owns are not being sold because of the EPA, fuck the EPA.
Bruh wth this shit looks so good wtf...
The car is really great but 60,000$ is the problem. I just drove a 3.0T and it is godlike. Very quiet.
I found one for 15000 now.
I want one
Michael Gonzales no sh!t
I have 2012 A6 model almost the same exept the grill shape has been changed.
Nice music. And yes, hooray for real engine noises. I don't care if sounds like a V8.
Can you use regular gas
David Last yeah, but it wont feel like an Audi, it will feel more like a VW, put premium
Why do American reviews talk so much about power and torque but then they drive an automatic...
+Ze Germanz Well, if you live in metro NY, LA, SF, Atlanta and other areas like that, the manual will get old very soon when dealing with all the traffic. But auto which holds a gear without premature upshift (like in 'S' drive) can sometimes be fun too.
+Ze Germanz You can't even get a fucking manual Audi anymore you fool. It's a German car. American cars, Mustang, Camaro, etc, will have manuals long after Germans give up on them. Use your head.
Storm Holloway And where did I say I was talking specifically about Audi? That's right I didn't you fucktard. I see countless guys buy top end supercars or just fast saloons with an auto then complain about hearing and power.
I understand the like for autos, I grew up in London and sat in traffic for 3 hours a day on my commute. But I hate reviews for performance cars that complain about things that are solved by buying a manual. If you are using it as a A-B commuter then great get an auto, if you want to have fun and drive fast just get a manual.
+Storm Holloway What are you talking about? Automatic is a US thing. you know that in Europe everybody drives manual and all cars come in manual.
+Storm Holloway I stand corrected you were right, i'm misinformed
Can someone tell me how this would drive/accelerate/top speed, better than a Lexus IS200t , which is a terrible drive for a luxury car...? Thanks
ofcourse dude
Nicholas Whiteley u cant compare those cars...
What about the tdi?
jacob Bendah Yes, thanks for the reminder. The 2.0L is the most efficient of the newly revised gasoline engines.
With less i can find a H/génesis Rwd from Peter ,remember is car vs car not the brand.
Idk buddy that suspension has 4 modes
His voice reminds me of Arnold some how
Still dated exterior, nice interior though...Benz is ahead with the new C400 that would kill this car with over 329hp, or the E class. I also don't understand why Audi doesn't bring to US the A6 Avant Sportwagon, awesome car!
Bruno Andrade how can u compare a c class with an a6
Welcome to the under 301 club....have a nice day...IM FIIIRRRSSSTT
if its not a review dont call the video a "review"
MAELOB it is a review, the longer video is an in-depth review
I love my 2015 Chevy Impala, but DAMN! This next on my list.....😲
Where is the timing belt located in the front or back of engine?
2.0T is front chain. 3.0T and 4.0T is rear chain.
Buying an Audi "A" model is not a good value proposition and I would likely choose something else, to save me 10-15K. However, the "S" versions are an excellent value proposition as there are few auto companies that can compete with the tech, engine output and performance upgrades at that price point.
rbassdo The TDI versions of the A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7 do retain value better than the gasoline versions. I know first-hand because I traded in a 2014 A6 TDI with ~32k miles and it only cost me $11k in depreciation for nearly 3 years worth of driving for the average person. Also, the BlueTec E-class has historically had better resale than the E63 AMG.
I just bought a A6
Major and repeated electrical problems that Audi Service seems unable to fix.
Lexus ES 350 or Audi A6?
+Ima smokaahh Not the same price range, but the A6 if you have the money
Both are great cars. Audi A6 if you got the the money but the Lexus 350 if you want a reliable car.
NOTE: Lexus is made by Toyota, and their cars have the windshield wiper and headlight controls on the steering wheel on different sides. My Dad has just got an Audi A6 mostly due to the fact that the A6 is one of the most reliable vehicles on the market today. If you have the money, get the A6, you won't be displeases. I recommend the 333HP engine, very quick.
@Carter Schwalb it's not the most reliable
Typo, Califronia ;)
AWD > FWD > RWD.
Wrong FWD is bad if you care about driving.
RWD ) AWD ) FWD.
Hasan Z awd is better than rwd unless you want to drift wich a highly doubt
Rafael Carpy rwd has better weight distribution, better mpg, better handling around curves. AWD is better for maximum grip in wet conditions, ie, bad weather. ALL Ferraris, most Porsches, and traditional sports cars are rwd for a reason. RWD has less power loss due to drivetrain as well, hence better with respect to putting power down on pavement.
Made in Germany♥♥♥
Nour El Houda Riak no.
@@andrecarpy6890 yes Neckarsulm, Germany, dumbass
No I don't like the dashboard. Why thy made on R8, Q7, A4, TT new electronic, comp. Dashboard and here ugly old style
Wow !! hearing a engine note ... How much BS is that !
50k for a 2 liter front wheel drive vehicle. what the fuck?
wonderwall135 you'll understand when you're driving one like it should be driven
Better this than that new E- class Mercedes is offering, God, who the fuck is designing today's cars? All Mercedes sedans might as well be considered cheap s class knockoffs, exact same interior and exterior. Might as well settle for the c class.
i would always talk shit about pontiac's horn-looking exhaust tips. i always thought it looked cheap and cheesy, like on the grand am.
lo and behold, EVERYONE now has these type of exhaust tips. pontiac's quality was poor until the last, totally awesome gxr (gxp? whatever). i still prefer nice, round tips.
Made in Germany
in philippines,it cost more than a hundred thousand dollar,or almost 5million pesos!!!! f*ck
hey there 15/16 Audi A6 owners, do your brakes make unbearable screeching noises? mine does. it's so bad that when i pull up to a light or a stop sign, people have to shut their ears with their hands. i told my dealership and called audi about it. they basically told me to STFU and deal with it. they blame it on "high performance" semi metallic brakes. one of the guys working in the sale department told me that his audi does the same.. like that's supposed to make me feel better? i had an E class before this. the brakes were better and never made a peep.
slomoshv ill tell you how to fix that, perform a brake embedding, accelerate to 40 mph then brake very hard to about 5 mph, try to not brake to a stop during the process, repeat that 3-5 times, then drive for about a mile to allow rotors to cool off, i 100% guarantee your problem will be solved
Not convinced
$54k and still front wheel drive? no thanks, I'll get the benz or the bmw.
thoravian It's meant to be driven in such a way that nobody would even notice if it was left-wheel drive. It's a luxury car, not a sports car.
Ryan Wagner no need to hate. I would just spend my 54k on a car with a platform that was engineered head-to-toe for it. Like an E-class or a 5series. You are free to purchase a FWD car for 54k. Audi is perfectly marketed for people like you that see driving as a chore.
Ryan Wagner RWD doesnt mean for a car to be driven as a sports car. its just that rwd cars have proper mounted engines and transmission. have perfect balance and weight distribution, or nearly perfect and drive and feel much better than any fwd car. you would absolutely feel the difference between FWD and RWD cars in the way it drives, handles, feels, etc.
The way you tell the difference defeats the purpose of having an Audi that starts with an A and not an S or an RS. The S or RS is sporty and fun, but the A's is to be classy and comfortable, merely without totally ignoring driving dynamics, rather than emphasizing them, while being more conservative than a BMW and less pretentious than a Benz.
Ryan Wagner you can have class and comfortable and fun to drive with RWD and you do. if you notice every premium car is RWD. starting from bentley to rolls royce. 7,5,3 series from bmw, S, E, C class from merc. because thats what a proper car means. correct engine and transmutation position, proper weight distribution, right frame, no torque steer, etc. that what makes a real fun, comfy and class car. drive both, u'll see a huge difference.
Doug Demuro does the best reviews.
Audi copy Hyundai hexagonal girll
+David Lee Lies!
+CommentKid3000 Its true tho actually audi used trapezoid(?) grill until 2011 BUT hyundai start using i hexagonal grill in 2010 like hyundai tucson
David Lee Oh, lol honestly didnt know that
the old audi Designer who had invented this grill has left audi and is now working at hyundai thats why hyundai has also this grill and audi use this grill since 2006
The head designer for Hyundai used to lead the Audi design team. That’s why.
Ugly grille. TOO BIG. Not as ugly as the Lexus, but big is not better in this case.
+John Boyt yeah i agree, but with the gloss package where the grille is matte black it looks amazing
Also once a license plate or tag as you in the US call it, it will cover up much of the 'hole.'
That blonde guy is sooo boring
doesn't look like a luxury car, its a vw car. every time when i see vw car i feel that there is no difference btw audi and vw!!!!!!!!
that means is bentley and lambo also a vw you bufoon? they are also owned by vw.
Get yout facts straight before you throw bullshit at the comment section. Audi are a pure luxury car and they have the nicest interiour compared to other car brands.
you have never been in an Audi then.
overlord517 the s500 and e400 has a better interior
Akhil Reghu you should do some research before you talk out of your ass. I have owned 4 different European cars, and though many of them are VW sub companies, there is no comparison in the car itself. I have a 1999 A6 and even for an 18 year old car, it's performance, beauty, and smooth ride is first class. VW is not a good comparison, the only thing similar would be a Volvo, but that doesn't even line up to Audi.
