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.

Audi A6 Avant Review

Safety and Security3 out of 5

The Audi comes out of the NCAP tests well and offers the full complement of air bags across the range, as well as traction control, an inertia centre rear belt and, of course, ABS. Deadlocks, an alarm and an immobiliser are standard.
