The 2019 Audi A6 Balances Luxury and Performance | MotorWeek Road Test 

Abso lutely who in their right mind to compare any German car to a Hyundai ?

@Catholic Firefighter The Kia is a piece of shit.

@Catholic Firefighter I am a drug-free and smoke-free person, but that weed or crack you are on is really changing your reality perception.

Catholic Firefighter wtf? I’m sorry but you don’t know anything about cars, Kia stinger is a sports sedan, Audi is a executive sedan, Jaguar is on par with audi, and Rolls Royce and Bentley are in a totally different zone.

Catholic Firefighter what? Read your second comment bro, you mentioned rolls, Bentley, Jaguar. You said a6 is a sports sedan when it’s clearly not. You never even mentioned the a5, which I know can be considered a sports sedan.

Reliability in a Audi????? Thanks for the laughs!

No they haven't. Still serious drive train problems.

David Wolf 😂😂😂 don’t think so !!

NO_EYES_ON_ME it’s not that bad honestly, I’ve heard a lot of different stories on Audi reliability and most have suggested that it’s not that bad. Imo, they are fairly reliable.

My 2015 Audi has been flawlessly reliable. Just have to keep up with the routine maintenance, which is every 10k miles or once a year. Great cars!

Agreed, lmao. But I wish he would pronounce Audi the right way, because he pronounces Porsche (Poor-sheh/shuh) the right way...

secular croc Lol yeah. But to be fair, Audi, like Touareg, shoots itself in the foot phonetically. I But I won’t blame anyone for pronouncing that acid of a word for what they see it as, All-dee.

@@Soh90, that's funny; Aldi is a German company... But do we pronounce Gaudy as "Gah-u-dee"? No. We pronounce it "gawdy". Same with Audi, as it's "AWW-dee". Why can't us dumme Amerikaner get this right? Anyway, thanks for coming to my TEDx Talk. Ich liebe Deutsche autos!

@Wally G. Truly this is that man! Who else do you think Doug DeMuro would look up to? Tyler Hoover? LOL, Doug definitely used the format of Mr. Davis - but he added a couple of his own 'quirks and features' that make his reviews a unique experience.

Weird commentary fruity boy

You should never buy a car that costs more than half of your yearly income after tax.

Blacked out chrome looks so cheap. They should design the cars without those trims alltogether for a much cleaner look. Kind of like the new Range Rover did without any trim around the windows.

Minimalist? Do you even know what that means?

Now we have cameras as side mirrors

That's the same track they've been using since the 90s 😂

Well, the Indy track has been used 100 years, what is your point?

Car prices these days are truly unbelievable, I tell you.

If this car is the difference between you achieving your retirement goals or missing your retirement goals, than maybe this isn't the car for you. However, there are some who can have both - be happy for them.

As Bob implies, buy what you can afford, some people have bigger 401K accounts than others, also find a better financial adviser, I do much better with 60K over 25 years...not to mention you have to buy some car so maybe 30K for the 401 over 25 years

That's why you only lease these cars or get a 1yr old certified if you must own one

most people who get these get them with a lease also the depreciation with these is real

People will scrap them or trade them in, as they do with almost everything packed with too much crap. Then its up to the dealers to fix them and sell them for a profit. In the case of these cars, good fuckin luck.

use non ceramic premium brake pads and there wont be brake dust

Just pay a gnome a few bucks to clean it every night for you.

My 2015 has been flawless.

Bob Cutty not available in USA unfortunately

​But, we are finally getting the RS6 Avant.

That’s weird. We are getting them in Canada...maybe you guys can pick up here since Americans get 35% currency diacount

Why would it understand a comment that will never be made?

Because they're the traffic sensors/cameras! But yeah, they could've hidden them somehow!

Bo Han there is nothing “smart” about purchasing any German automobile. “Status,” I guess, but certainly not smart.

Exactly what I did. Got a sweet '17 A4 Prestige fully loaded for 40K with only 4k miles. My family loves the quiet and smooth ride, virtual cockpit, heads up display, cooled and heated seats, rear sunshades, ambient lights, 360 camera, front and rear collision prevention, lane keep assist, 19 speaker Bang&Olufsen, etc....

Not when you black out all the awful chrome on the exterior and give it a tint job.. I've seen it done and it blows away it's predecessor. This one has a more aggressive look. It's wider, sits lower and has bigger wheels.

I'm a chauffeur in Australia, and the base model A6 is MUCH cheaper than the A8. I need the rear head room, so the A6 makes more sense than the A7. I also think the boot/trunk of the A6 is very good - better than the paper specs suggest. It passes my "two very large suitcases" test - not many cars do. Btw, we get a front-wheel drive only version here. (the A40).

The A5 is built on the A4 platform. The A6 provides much larger interior space and a better ride quality since it shares the same larger platform as the A7/A8. It also costs a lot less than the A7 or A8 for those who don’t want go that far financially.

Truth! Sadly no one realizes it...

Well this is an A6, so the least sporty of this C8 platform. There is the S6 and then the RS6. The RS6 and RS7 would be the competitors to the CTS V. I'd take an RS over a CTS V any and every time. I'd also take an A6 over a standard CTS every time.

How can you compare the GT and the A6? They are two different class of cars. Get real. If your only argument is that the GT is less, well then, the A6 is out of your league

@Catholic Firefighter no creaking platforms like Stinger from these cara.

@Catholic Firefighter no, just creaking rear hatch and side doors that shouldn't be on a modern car. So much for H/K making their own steel!

doccyber i agree I’m 24 but i actually hate tech in cars for this exact reason

Isn't that true of every car being built now? Personally, I love my discarded and obsolete 2012 A6. A couple bolt ons and it makes 400+AWHP. Looks good too. People still think it's new and even at 7 years old and 100K+ miles. It's a wonderful vehicle. I have no problems with it being out of warranty as problems are few and far between and I DIY 95% of all work on the car.

@@PKmode almost bought a 2012 dark blue with the coffee leather seats for 24k back in 2014 but held off. I have an 06 3.2 quattro now but yeah man if i had the money or knew how to fix cars but i think im gonna go budget for a little. Had a 03 g35 that took 89 grade gas. Wouldnt mind a g37 but i want brand new

PKmode 2012 has way less driver assistance tech and other useless tech than today’s cars. My friend has a 2011 Audi s5 and it’s basic compared to Audi’s today

The interface looks similar to Tesla's though it looks too distracting imo. I prefer traditional buttons/switches better without excessive gadgetry.

@@theKevronHarris If somehow 3 screens looks similar to 1 screen, you'd be right

BMW and Mercedes are doing the same thing, they just confine everything to one screen, at the cost of having a confusing UI at least Audi makes everything up front and easy to use imo

agree. Audis used to have the best interiors. now it’s very techy but not luxurious.

How many have you had to claim such a statement?

@@Vazin Only one... One too many. But it was an older one that you did not have to remove the front of the car to do an oil change. It was a 4000 quattro. We only had to tape the windows up. A new screw laying on the floorboard every time we climbed into the car. And an overspeed scream idle problem and more. But we did get over 200,000 miles on it. Some had a problem with them slipping into drive or reverse and running over people. There was a class action lawsuit over that. Although that never happened to us. I mainly owned Mercedes, BMW and Porsche. But we did have one Audi in the family.. Only one. Also.. We always buy/pay cash. In other words we own all our cars. Never lease or borrow. We always own them. Also I had one Toyota Corolla Station wagen back then. Got it stuck in the snow and broke the transmission going from R to D trying to rock it out of the snow. Only did it a few times. And it broke. Never owned another Toyota until recently as these new Toyota Lexus cars are good for sure. I recommend them if you can afford them. If you can afford an Audi, you can afford a Lexus. Way better than any German these days. If the Germans would make a car as reliable, I would consider buying one. Currently there are several class action lawsuits against these new Audis over transmission problems. Terrible for sure! MY sister inlaw works for Audi in Neckersulm. She is an Engineer. My brother in law just retired from Alfa Romeo. I love their calendars bty. Anyway.. Long on wind here. You want a new POS Audi, knock yourself out. Consider leasing one instead. Your dime. Some of the best looking cars on the Planet as are a lot of German cars.. German good looks... Money pits as they age.

grabir01 I had the same drama with my 01 a4 Quattro wagon but I still loved her

@@CaliBreeeze Yes.. We loved it when we bought it. Loved it when we sold it. Love Love thing.

"Any work" Is a bit of an exaggeration. I think that it is easier than to try to work on a car with so much tech to take the front off than screw with it from above. A lot of people that worked on cars over the decades never had to do it, so you get used to never having to take the front of the car off. Over the years, I've accepted the fact that I'd rather pay someone to take the front of the car off and get in there and fix something properly than have that person charge me 20-30% more labour time to fix it incorrectly from just under the hood. Like and investment, you do what the numbers say, not what your emotions say. I've had to take the front of the car off once to replace an expensive alternator and that was with a 4.2 V8 which was stuffed deep in there. My 3.0 V6 has tons of room, cheaper (common) alternator and was designed to be serviced easier with accessibility in mind. PS There is a "service position" where you loosen the front and don't have to take it off. The last time I even had to change a sparkplug was on my Mustang in 1987. All my cars since then came with 100 000 mile platinum plugs. On my Taurus SHO, you had to drill holes in the floor to replace the clutch. When you have a lot of tech jammed in a small space, that's going to happen.

chris johnson, if you’re going to rip on grills, what about Lexus’ bass on a hook grill?! I pulled something like it out of the lake near me!

And they would also find a TSB for it covered under warranty.

Uh ... They aren't

@@erickbren8702 ok I just said that

You can’t afford one ☝️ that’s why you’re so angry !

@LRulesTheWord You're super upbeat! Must be great at parties.

Why would the touch screen give out in 3-5yrs in this over other cars with touch screen?

We’re talking about LUXURY performance here Greg.

805gregg ha! He calls other cars “euro trash” when referencing a challenger. You know, that fiat car built on a 90s Mercedes Benz E class platform, yea that challenger.

No performance, try an F-15 Eagle if you want performance, blow the doors off this dodge garbage. Your sentence makes about as much sense as this one.

2 dollar ass dodge ... And you're comparing a luxury car to a damn Dodge really dude really

The newer Audi stuff is not that bad.

newer audis hold up pretty well the most problematic are BMWs

@@normt5463 Look at her name. It's all you need to know.
