2016 / 2017 Audi A6 3.0T Review and Road Test | DETAILED in 4K!

[@elliottmanning4116]

If I had the money, I would buy this in a heartbeat. I love almost everything about this car. Love your reviews.

[@Wicked_RotF30]

Get your cdl and get into logistics. You will have a Lamborghini if you want it.

[@Breakchecks]

@@Wicked_RotF30 I’m interested. You have my attention. I know a guy that does this kind of thing and just got an M5 comp. Can you msg me with more info? Thanks

[@Todd.T]

I'm back. It's been 5 years of a fantastic car. APR stage 1 was so worth it, you'd be a fool not to tune the car if you want some free performance. This car has two sets of injectors so it solved the problem of carbon build up in the intake runners and backs of valves. It also has a clutch on the supercharger to disengage it for excellent fuel economy. The car gets better gas mileage with a tune. I then swapped the pulleys and tuned it to the next level. The car is making 480hp and 430 ft lbs of torque. I flashed the transmission so it would stop shifting at 6200 and rev closer to its new redline of 7400. The car will run 11s. Lots of torque everywhere in a silent but deadly executive express capable of spanking a lot of cars. I used to have multiple cars for racing, transporting a lot of people and one for luxury, This car does it all.

[@rochamusicx]

Audi has really nice looking cars. I agree, I always liked Alex's reviews.

[@wjperdue]

I own this car and I love it. If I could I'd get the A8. It's a beast.

[@harold5312]

I've seen many reviews of various products(phones, notebooks, cameras, cars, etc.) on youtube and I think your reviews are the most thorough, in depth, and most importantly unbiased of all the reviewers. I can see so much work had to be put into your reviews with all the info and the multiple camera angles(and the tedious editing afterwards). Excellent. Bravo.

[@1amadeo]

I own one for almost 7 years. So far i had no issues, just usual maintenance. I love this car. So much in fact i refuse to sell it. Next year i'm going for a A7 for a second car. Why? Because it looks different but underneath it's still the A6 :D

[@Todd.T]

Me. Stg2 APR DP and soon an APR CPS and TCU tune.

[@cleanasdirt6832]

I purchased a new 2017 A6 competition s-line. No issues, regular maintenance. I don’t plan on parting with it until 2025. I can confidently say it’s the best daily driver I’ve ever owned. It’s a beast in the 🇨🇦 winters.

Awesome review, thanks a lot! This deserves 10 times more views. I love how you go into the details - and only those that matter. Also love that you do a very good job judging everything objectively, doing measurements. A really god job.

what is the maintenace cost like?

[@driz866]

@@marcuslouisjeune185 I have owned it for two years and have had no issues. Bought it with 32k miles. Just oil changes. I had a 2010 before this and that needed a new thermostat. That was expensive because front end had to come off and since you are there you replace a bunch of things. Cost around 1700.

[@SILENTJRM]

Alex, these extensive review and comparisons are top level. Thank you for your level of commitment

[@kellyfox5003]

Alex, your reviews are really good, but what I also like is that you are always looking to improve them over time. People don't think about how much off camera work this takes, never mind the writing. Like many you could have remained in formula a long time ago, but you didn't, and your reviews really shine for that. Also, FYI, I only frequent TTAC anymore to see your narrative on the cars, and Sajeev and Steve. Ok, Murilee too. Thanks. Would you consider adding an engine sound? It would slot well either after the engine discussion, or after the rear end integrated exhaust discussion. KFox

[@sskhaliq]

Excellent review. Covers technical aspects, and great insert clips to explain what the narrator is referring to. Good luck!

[@fredgoodrum]

Definitely one of the best reviews I've watched. Clearly, 'hands above' KZbin claptrap. This is something I would anxiously enjoy on broadcast. The information was as thorough as I could have expected. Thank you for the refreshing result from your effort. I would not mind even slowing up the pace just a tad as your voice can sustain the longer length and the data would not seem as rushed. An extra 5 or 10 minutes would give ample time to absorb all the data. Lastly, Thank you for showing the features in action. That is something that is sorely missed in today's need to go 'short' on everything. Sometime's bigger and longer is better.

[@unintentionallyfire]

Kinda unfair comparing the stock A6 seats to the optional multi contour seats in the BMW. I prefer the Audi comfort seats to the BMW ones.

I hate how you force open lids like at 10:52 and previously for the front container, just let them open.

[@farhanfahim3137]

So whats the difference between 2016 and 2017 Premium plus models? in terms of standard features or specs?

[@chrislim6851]

Awesome review as always. Are you planning to review the new Q7 or the upcoming new A4?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

+Chris Lim Yes, dates TBD

[@DaRazee]

what was the idea of putting the Start Engine all the way to right next to the other front seat...? what if the passenger on that seat plays around with the Start Engine button while the car is running on high speed? does the car stop after an accidental press from the passenger .....

[@stephencannon3140]

MMI note; not really bad or good but noticeable. The MMI cursor is opposite. Turning the cursor to the right would normally toggle the screen selection top to bottom.....WRONG....moves bottom to top. Again takes a bit of getting used to. I am not sure of the 2016 models but with 2012. The oil level is checked through the MMI screen so ensure on a level surface. For 2012 at least ECS tuning sells a oil dipstick. There is a blank off plug installed where the dipstick would normally go. 2012 the Quattro and ZF. 8 speed is a definite +2 much improved over the late 2000’s era 6 speed. If your spending the coin on a luxury model like this. Step up and get Quattro and V6 Hint: I am about 99 percent sure that the V6 is Quattro only so that makes the decision easy. Super chargers take a little getting used to but they work pretty good.

Alex, there are a lot of different reviewers on youtube but yours are the most complete and best. I especially love your 4 camera driving section. The only thing I would suggest is to include "Alex on Autos" in the title of your videos so they are easier to find. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@Todd.T]

Very detailed demo on the instrument cluster. Next week, I should get mine. S-Line Technik with HUD and 20 inch wheels. I'll tune it with APR and go looking for the BMW 535 you mentioned.

[@anoopjacob6689]

535i faster than the A6 3.0T? hell no. who tested the car?

[@ACGator03]

+Anoop Jacob Exactly my point. He is wrong about that. Alex may be a BMW fanboy...

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

+Anoop Jacob We tested it on the same course with the same equipment. Audi provided the A6 a dealer provided the 535i xDrive. The 535i was 1/10th faster

[@ACGator03]

+Alex on Autos something else was at play. even unbiased consumer reports is showing the a6 out perfoming the 5.

[@harishraman6431]

+Alex on Autos I guarantee you that your stats are wrong. Audi and BMW even put out stats proving the a6 is faster. Im assuming BMW is slipping you a couple dollars under the table.

[@Wolvesq]

+Harish Raman Car and Driver tested the 535xi as 3/10 a second faster to 60 than the A6, an even greater disparity. But no one who buys in this class cares about a few 10ths of a seconds difference -- insecure teenagers are not the A6's core demographic.

[@Tall-Cool-Drink]

I like the car, but why is the ignition button on the passenger side of the shift stick? It doesn't seem logical.

[@JJPhilosophy]

"And it will have a hundai logo, on the car"😂😂😂

[@skyraidfpv6753]

Not sure why you said you prefer the 2.0 turbo model over the 3.0 Supercharged. Yes less gas mileage with the 3.0T, but you won't have any turbo lag. If you can afford a $60k+ vehicle, then you can pay for slightly less fuel mileage in exchange for instant power IMO!

[@richiemorgan9459]

I thought a 2016 BMW 535i had 300hp. Doesn’t this have 333? How is the 535i quicker?

[@Jokero_YT]

Wow, great review sir, Subscribed!

[@DaiJekBok]

Interesting that the 5-series is mentioned as as a sort of benchmark in this class as when I test drove it while car shopping a couple of years ago it didn't feel special to me -- maybe I'm not in tune with the BMW magic. I knew I didn't want an E-Class based on an acquaintance having one. I found the A6 3.0T to be just about perfect, though I actually ended up taking an S6 home after I was stupid enough to accept the dealer's offer to test drive it. At 6'8" I do notice the front door opening being on the smaller side, but it doesn't take any odd contortions to get in, and head and legroom are both quite good.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

+Ronbars The 5-Series really is just the benchmark because of sales volume.

[@zhaoguanyugary]

hi I am 6'8 too. which one has more interior room? the 5 series or the A6? thanks

[@DaiJekBok]

gary zhao I'm above-average in the inseam and torso, but if you're all legs or have a longer upper body the fit it going to be different. For me, the A6 was more comfortable.

[@shellzhimself]

Great review! the test car you had is with 20" wheels and sport suspension. Do you think 19" wheels with sport suspension will give better ride comfort? I tested one just like yours and feel the ride is a bit harsh on broken pavement and not sure if 19" will solve the problem.

[@dilbertnet3898]

Alex, there needs to be an another metric of measurement and grading for the autos you review - tech. features. As you know, today's car are offered with a range of tech. features and the buyers often are basing their purchase on these features. This would be the trend moving forward. The reviews need to keep up with buyers' needs.

[@quinyboties]

Can you do a 2016 audi S6 review like this one??

[@1northsparrow246]

Has anyone bothered to check whether VW Group's gasoline engine cars actually pass emission tests?

[@corpnupe85]

Great review!

[@charleshines6155]

I always liked Audis especially the style of the 2006 A6. The car in this video looks good. I just don't like cars that blend in with the Corollas and such, the whole idea behind having something like this is that it stands out in a lot (unless it is full of the same cars). I do like that they don't stand out like a big ugly sore thumb like some Japanese sports cars do (Honda Civic is one).

[@mrcn119t6]

Question marks over Jagwar relability? Sure. But you neglect to mention BMW's appalling servicing and repair needs, and the VAG's similarly poor reliability out of warranty.

+Patrick Clarke It was just uploaded, and it's a 30-min video. It takes 4 times longer for KZbin to process a 720p video over a 360p video, and 8 times longer for a 1080p video over a 360p video. And if they are 60fps videos, then double those times.

[@uos64]

Jonnie Bangkok thanks for letting us know !

[@LouAntonioGiordano]

Lol educate yourself. The emission scandal is a political scheme. Chevrolet and Ford wanted to start selling diesel passenger cars in North America but they couldn’t sell a lot of them because VW got 90%+ of the market share. So they pulled something shady to kick them out of the diesel market. Called a few guys sitting in the arm chairs high up in the federal government; put a few bucks in their pockets. Have you realized that GM came out with their Cruze EcoDiesel back in 2014 but barely sold any in North America. And the VW scandal came out in September, 2015 so all the TDI’s were done. Now the Cruze EcoDiesel has much better sales numbers than before VW got kicked out. If you ran tests on the Duramax, Power Stroke or Cummins diesel motors in their trucks I doubt they will meet all the regulations. Every company commits felonies. But it’s up to the government to judge and proscute them. If you put enough money in their pockets, they will pretend they don’t know anything about it. If you put more than enough money in their pockets, they will eliminate your competitors.
