If there’s anything you won’t forget with an Audi A6, it is the ultimate comfort it provides to its riders. It is not just about the size, mind you, but an over-all package of looks, performance and function. Of course, in every good thing, there are bound to be some details that will not exactly fit in with everyone.
The 2010 Audi A6 3.0 TFSI Quattro is so much a better version of the earlier ones for several reasons including the suspension’s ability to absorb an assault from a bad road, its supercharged V-6 engine, and a well-put together cabin, among others. There appears to be some reservations as to whether its interior style is wanting and whether some “techy” quirks found in the cabin were just placed there for the sake of doing so. No matter, Audi seems to get away with it more easily because of its ability to make everything look good and better.
At a base price of $ 51,025.00, the 2010 Audi A6 3.0 TFSI Quattro comes in standard equipment which consists of the Quattro All-Wheel Drive, servotronic speed sensitive power steering, halogen headlights, full-size spare tire, MMI, Sirius Satellite Radio with 3-month subscription, dual-zone automatic climate control, 12-way power adjustable front seats, Bluetooth connectivity, heated front seats sunroof, front and rear fog lights, automatic headlights, rain sensing wipers, front side airbag, side curtain airbag, heated side view mirrors and a tire pressure monitoring system. Its 3.0L supercharged V-6 engine provides 300 hp at 5,100 to 6,800 rpm and a torque of 310 lb-ft at 2,500 to 5,100 rpm. Its closest competitors include the BMW 5-series, Mercedes Benz E-class, the Cadillac STS, the Hyundai Genesis, and the Lincoln MKS.
If you just have to have more options from your Audi A6, then the Prestige Model offers more for an additional $ 5,000.00. For this added cost you get to have the Bose Sound System, Xenon Plus Headlights, LED daytime running lights, adaptive self-leveling headlights, cornering lights, Audi advanced key, rearview camera, shift paddles, voice-recognition, driver side seat memory, power adjustable steering column, and the auto-dimmer rearview mirror. The 19” Sport Package throws in 19” sport wheel, sport suspension and a 3-spoke multi-function sport steering wheel.
There is no mistaking that Audi A6 is a luxury vehicle. Its MMI interface is easy enough to master making it extremely usable to everyone. It behooves one to understand why some manufacturers place items that may look good but are not only difficult to use but sometimes impossible to use as intended. Sometimes, it is only in the matter of placement. This car’s controls may initially be hard to find but things will certainly get better as familiarity kicks in. The Audi A6 is a big car with perfect body proportions. The sports feel and look are easily acquired with the sports package, adjusting accordingly to those who desire it. It is the car for people who place priority on performance and safety plus a bit more space and style.
