Audi A6 (1997-2001) Review

Category: Executive 3 out of 5

Summary of the Audi A6 (1997-2001)

Price Range: £24,900 to £39,370

Assets

Distinctive, ultra-modern styling, build quality and refinement. Diesel TDi extremely thrifty, 2.5 TDi sportily brisk. One of the best interiors you'll find anywhere.

Drawbacks

Not the most satisfying car in its class to drive.

Verdict

A good all-rounder - for temperate drivers.

Very well built, though a few problems are inevitably emerging as these cars get older, including glitches with the Multitronic gearbox, front suspension, brakes, electric windows and other electrical functions.
