Audi A6 Saloon (2004 - 2011) 2.7 TDI SE 4d (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I am an Event Manager so it woks for me at work to have an Executive / Professional car that is not to flash. Clients have always commented on how nice the car is for a passenger and I have always felt confident showing it to them.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

People always comment on it being a nice looking car. One neighbour could not believe the MPG of around 56 that I was getting on a run.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes and I am doing. I have done my normal car research but genuinely don't want anything else. This has been a brilliant / reliable car and considering I have just done 50k I am very happy also with the likely resale price.

What are you likely to buy next?

AUDI A6 2.7 TDI QUATTRO S LINE 5DR TIP AUTO Avant.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£8,000

When did you buy the car?

September 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I felt that I got a good deal at the time, good extras on the car and it had a good service history. I tend to spend a considerable amount of time researching all available vehicles prior to purchase so develop a good idea of what the value should be comparably to the rest of the market.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I like the love the look of it and love the interior. I have always been confident with buying used Audi's that have a full service history.

What was the dealer like?

Very professional, they even had my name up at the door when I went to collect it which I thought was a nice touch.

What's it like to drive?

Very smooth with power if you want it. We had an accident last winter in the snow when another car decided to pinball into us on the motor way. I held on tight to the steering wheel when I could see what was about to happen and we barely felt a thing. The car was slightly dented which was fixed easily through the insurance but I would say this is a very safe but fun car to drive. On long journeys it provides great comfort to you and the passengers.

What's it like to park?

Amazing, to the point that people have stopped in the street and scratched their heads at the spaces I seem to be able to get into. Not sure if it is the turning circle or just the Parking warning noises but neither I or my Wife have had a problem with parking.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I had a problem with the electronic hand break which seemed to stick on, fortunately this was under warranty with the dealer that I bought it from. Apart from that I have done 50k in the last two years and it has been a fantastic car.

What's most practical about your car?

The Size, in particular the boot which is massive. No longer do I struggle to get in the car on a weekend away with my wife and two daughters and the luggage.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Bose Sound System! The best stereo I have ever had in a car it sounds amazing.
