2004 Audi A6 Review

　　

zzdcar' Expert Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　

What’s new

　　A sport mode is added to the "multitronic" CVT, the center console's retractable cup holder is replaced by a power point and all quattro models now come standard with a sunroof.

　　

zzdcar says

　　Solid performance and an elegant cabin design make the A6 a worthy competitor in the luxury sedan class, but BMW's 5 Series is more athletic and Mercedes carries more brand cachet, so it can't be called a class leader just yet.
