1998 Audi A6 User Reviews

Superb Daily Driver For 12 Years — This 1998 Audi A6 has been my daily driver as a Real Estate Agent in Canada since I purchased as a 2 years old (lease back) in 2000 for $35,000 CAD. I had driven Acura's up to that point but fell in love with the Audi's (unusual) interior colour, handling and style. Since I purchased it in Winter, I quickly fell in love with the Torsion all weel drive system. Needless to say, given the 300,000+ KM I have put on this car, I have generally loved it. However, you can't drive an aging German luxury car without a little hate in your heart. On average, to keep this car in top shape, I have spend $2,500 a year for the last 5 years. Although parts sourced through my mechanic are quite cheap since the Audi has benefited by the long and continued use of this platform by VW, the car is in the shop for an average of 6 times per year over the last 5. Not terrible perhaps for a 12 year old car but painful none the less. As you may have seen from the pictures, have also attempted to keep this car up to date with modern electronics, while keeping the beautiful stock look of the interior, which I feel remains it's strongest feature. I have added a Phatbox 120GB music system, Garmin Nuvi 7690 and XM radio (all purchased and simply professionally installed for less than $1,000). I feel this car still compares well with anything on the road less than $40K, and I still get constant compliments on it as I drive customers around! In summary, a well maintained late model A6 C5 platform is an excellent investment for a relatively inexpensive German luxury vehicle - but find a good mechanic to check it out carefully and be ready for some frustrations along with your smooth daily drive.

Stick With Benz — rides like a couch but somthing new breaks every day. they have hardened plastic vacuum lines that break and are impossible to track causing vac. leaks. no turbo with this year sucks. interior is very comfortable. overall, stick with benz, audi breaks too much

Pretty Good Car — The enginge could be bigger ,it´s only 2.4liter,old,quality quite good,perfomance enough. I would recommend this car to a friend excluded that is a old car it is quiet and performance is enough and it has automatic transmission which is good for me and very good in heavy traffic.
