Buying the 2016 Audi A6
No 2016 Audi A6 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2016 Audi A6, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 51 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
It is powered by the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
The combined figure, 7.9 L/100 km, means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $36.75 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is 453 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the A6 answers more than any brochure. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A6 answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
