Not a big Audi fan but I think the A6 has aged rather well. Looks sharp..!

[@LaBurek]

I'm a big Audi fan and I actually think quite the opposite... Since Lichte took over the head of design position things got worse. It feels much less premium nowadays and he copies too much from other brands, changing the foundation of Audi.

[@jlue1993]

LaBurek that's fair enough.! Each to their own :)

[@LaBurek]

[@NirangaPerera-x6m]

Lot of new features

Hello fellow Singaporean!

[@JEEP2010]

I'm so excited for the next-gen a6, a7, a8, and q8...Audi is by far my favorite European car brand. Top Notch! Love'em!

[@wbaig]

What do you think now?

[@alexandregouge6075]

that didn't age well...

[@DBGMLV]

I think that the A6 is still the best looking car in it's class. The new E-Class is just a downsized S-Class and the 5 Series is just meh.

[@soawn29]

DBGMLV 5 series is meh? The most beautiful car in its class? The car that aged best out of three

[@cleanasdirt6832]

I’ve had my 2017 A6 competition s-line since new. Best daily driver I’ve ever owned. Quiet inside, power when you need it, interior quality fantastic. Regular maintenance only. I plan on keeping it til 2023 - 2025.

[@JohnnyCage4Real]

How much are you selling it for if you still got it? 🌺

[@cleanasdirt6832]

@@JohnnyCage4Real sadly, my plans were changed. I no longer have it, the wife wanted a truck as our second vehicle. I miss it dearly.

[@JohnnyCage4Real]

@@cleanasdirt6832 I understand, these things happen. These damn wives!!! 😏 I will buy a similar car in the near future and I'm looking for different options. But the A6 is definitely the best I've experienced yet. Such a beautiful car, especially the facelift from 2015 and up 🙌

[@georgfranko]

My wife told me she did not want a Station Wagon , so I bought an A6 Avant , if she wants something else than she should go and buy herself what she wants . My car , my choice .

[@JohnnyCage4Real]

@@georgfranko exactly!! I can understand through different circumstances that you are in need of a bygger car sometimes due to family expanding and stuff. But if they want something get a drivers license and your own car!! 👍

Mat Watson is the best

[@carwow]

Cheers Jim, appreciate it

[@chappy2121]

Yep much better than Will from the inbetweeners they've got on carbuyer now

[@w3t80y123]

he is good, but I hate how careless he is with the cars, I bet he makes a bunch of marks on it while making a review

[@valgehiir]

Mat is the best and he has aged wonderfully since the old A6 review. Mat still has the happy, eager puppy dog cuteness about him, he is actually cuter than average puppy. I don't normally go for guys, but if slightly drunk I'd consider doing Mat. (no homo)

[@OviWanKeno9i]

Sold my protuned 2013 WRX STI sedan and got a 2012 A6 3.0T, then got a stg2 APR tune and parts on it. It's at 460hp and 480-490 tq on 94 gas. It's pretty thirsty in the city but on the highway I'm getting 6.7-6.8L/100 kms. How does that one have a 7 speed? Mine has an 8 speed and it helps hugely on the highway. Overall pretty awesome car to daily drive. Pulls really hard so the way to to high speed and it's also nice and classy and business like. I clocked 4.2s to 100 km/h with aluminum RS4 rims and Michelin Pilot Supersport tires. I love that the design is not in your face. It was between a 2012 550i xdrive and this for me and this won on exterior design by far. If they sold the RS6 in Canada, I would be saving up for one. They sell the RS7 but the rear end of that puts me off of it.

[@xBuzz996]

3:25 wait what? The S-tronic being jerky at low speeds? Ive owned my 2016 A6 for a few months now and I've never felt that the gearbox is jerking at low speeds.

[@SuperKoreanzombie]

How is the handling on your car?

[@xBuzz996]

johnny g it is kind of hard, but it isn't uncomfortable hard. I do have the S-line chassis and s-line suspension and it rides smooth on the B roads and the highway, here in Sweden that is. I could imagine going without the S-line suspension and still be happy with it. But the thing about transmission, it's all about how you use your foot. The gas pedal is "accelerate sensitive", that means if press quickly but only to let's say 30% of the gas, it will go really quick to that speed with low gear. If you feed the gas pedal slower to the 30%, it goes pretty much quick but with higher gears. The car kind of knows what you want by knowing how you control your foot. If you feed the gas pedal slowly when already going it won't kick down, if you do it quickly it will kick down a gear

[@SuperKoreanzombie]

+xBuzz996 Oh right- thanks for your input! I've always been with Bmw over the last 15 yrs of driving, but always liked Audi. Never knew the S line suspension was different to SE- thanks for the tip. I'm guessing that's the equivalent of bm's SE/ M sport suspension. Because when I had an SE it drove like rubbish but the M sport was much better. Personally I care more about how a car handles than its power. In terms of reliability- how has your Audi's been over the years? Thanks

[@xBuzz996]

johnny g Had an Audi A6 from 1999, bought it 2003 and have worked perfect since then. The electronics never failed. I did have some problem with the rear right brake disc, it was kind of leaning against the brake pads so when you drove it, it came a lot of brake dust onto the wheel it self. Then I sold it and bought my currently 2016 Audi A6, picked it up from the store in february so i haven't had it for years, just for months. Worked perfect since then. Though it's not that much in a 2.0 190bhp front wheel drive car, get the 3.0 Quattro if you have the money, if not get a used one, it's so worth the money and they don't depreciate as much as the smaller engines. I don't know where you live, but the best for your money would be the 2.0 TFSI 252bhp with quattro and the 7 speed S-tronic. I wish there were a lot more petrol cars in Sweden, all of them are diesels. So in terms of reliability, Audi has really been good in my experience at least.

[@DaniWayne369]

dont worry mate, Mat Watson often doesn't know what he is talking about

[@jonathandeuninck2699]

Love that you also review older aged cars, thanks!

[@flightsimpilot123]

I saw this one but the s6 with black rims the other day, such a mint looking car

[@profvvv]

Your reviews are refreshing and with humour. This ingredients made Top Gear best car show ever. So one could say you are going the right way. Keep it up Mat

[@Iamhashyy]

He has come a long way... better than top gear

[@elijahcarr4137]

Audi was always ahead of time in my opinion

[@futmut1000]

to be fair i think this car looks amazing, beautifull headlights front and back...the interiors should be updated to the new one found in the q7, and maybe add an all electric version then its worth 3 tesla model s put together...the quality in this car is just superlative..

[@jamesrothwell8693]

Interesting in our region we get the A6 with 1.8TFSi, 2.0TFSi, 2.8FSi, 3.0TFSi and then the V8 in the S6 too.

[@danandrei2066]

You are the best accent Mat! I have a6 2l 190 horse power...many people say it's not good 2l on a6...but for my is enought...

[@stefangrubesic2708]

review an Audi RS6 Avant

[@clairekennedy8767]

I've always loved the A6, felt it's always looked good and had good features. Buy a 2008 and it's still similar to a 2012

[@millionelephantsfarm4701]

I think I've always loved you.

[@healthiswealth7899]

i think the 2012 just looks that little bit better

[@georgfranko]

The 2008 A6 has literally nothing in common with the 2012 model , I think you need to get your eyes checked .

[@wristoww]

I'm confused... When you were talking about the automatic gearbox, you showed a shot of a manual..?

[@trachenhamza4736]

Best channel for reviewing cars, keep up the work Mat! :)

[@archechme]

The seven speed automatic gearbox can feel a bit jerky when doing low speed manouvers.... But dude, you have the manual car?!

[@georgfranko]

But he is right , the S-Tronic is a bit jerky at low speeds or in town

[@archechme]

@@georgfranko it was lost on me at the time that he has driven multiple cars with dual clutch transmissions and they're all pretty much the same

[@georgfranko]

@@archechme makes sense :D

[@e5hw654s7]

Hmm, here in Canada we get a 3.0L Supercharged Petrol V6, wonder why you don't get that there

[@ThePlaywithasmile]

Came here because I saw Mat! Mat should present Top Gear!

[@dubFROGGY300]

I can not be the only that realised he said ‘the seven speed automatic gearbox can feel a bit jerky’ but he’s in a manual 👀

[@chrisdblue]

lmfao!!! "damn that 4K" your a great reviewer!

[@mamunrashid3211]

I own the C7 Avant, have to say I think that’s the best platform. Tried C8, it just doesn’t feel as refined and held together

Pick mine up Wednesday - Can't wait..

[@e46spartan75]

Hi Matt, are there any cars you could recommend for carrying three people in the back without being a 7 seater? Thanks :)

[@e46spartan75]

+Max11 cheers dude but should've made it more clear. I.e. rivals to cars like this as he claims the 5 series, A6 and E class have poor capabilities of carrying 3. I never want to own an MPV in my life haha! Although if I really had to I'd consider a 2 series touret

[@costisordorin5785]

[@mickadatwist1620]

thanks hun

[@sakichugouken2474]

Hi Matt, very nice review! Could you please do a VW CC review too?? As the model is not updated yet would be interesting to hear your review on it, as you didn't do it yourself for carbuyer. Thanks!

[@young9534]

I'm wondering if it's worth buying this or waiting for the next generation A6/S6 to come out.

[@nasosrevis]

Mat hi! i want to ask you which one with diesel engine you recommend for taxi.ΒΜW,A6 or E class>?(i live in Sweden).thanks.

[@xBuzz996]

I dont know if it's just me but when Mat starts his part about 5 cool things about the A6 @2:54, I reaaaaaally dont understand what he says, like not even a word. I know, I'm not a english native speaker but I do have good english but that is just waaaaay to fast for me. Mat, could you just slow a little bit down please? :)

[@fillecool2]

Glass fiber reinforced plastic suspension springs helps reduce the weight by 4.4 kg, I believe he says

[@tobbe151]

thinking of buying a 2012-2014 audi a6 with the 3.0tdi, is it really worth the extra money to buy the 245hk instead of the 204hk? Is it so much difference in acceleration that its worth it, or is it just dumb in the long run because of the extra fuel consumption? I need help!

[@zwodziarz]

Matt You should do SuperCarWoW!!!

Great review... Will you review A7 Sportback 2017?

[@sowdog]

Matt for new Top gear host!

[@argoubvega2171]

it looks great

[@davidhayes4814]

If you spec a Passat estate up to the same as the basic A6 Avant (with the 190 ps diesel) there is less than £2000 difference. The basic A6 is actually very good value for such a lovely car. The Avant has a certain je ne sais quoi though.

[@meisterhand5436]

Decent engine

[@Morag11951]

I have the exact same car as in this review personally He must have been driving it really hard to get a low 45mpg I've driven mine in urban/motorway and I never get below 62mpg which is very close to Audis claimed mpg.Another point I feel is harsh from this review is the claimed 5 bad points! All of which are ridiculous when you actually are in the car you appreciate the high spec/quality.I think Matt is a great car reviewer but sometimes a little harsh,I don't feel it's necessary to pick fault unnecessarily on such a fantastic car.

[@bodrulm1]

He should point things out. It's his job. Unlike you, he is not biased because he does not own the car. For example, he mentioned heated seats are not standard - that is very poor for a car of this class.

[@Morag11951]

+bodrulm1 i never said it want his job to report I said I he was picking fault no need for you to comment to me I'm not interested in you and I am not biased,I'm honest and I stick with what I said.The heated seats DO NOT have to be standard as do many other luxuries,it's a joke coming from you your probably a Dacia driver dreaming of one day owning a German car,we'll keep dreaming son,I feel sorry for you..

[@bodrulm1]

+Morag11951 clearly you are biased because you don't want Matt to point out issues or be negative in any way. secondly your defensive tone. thirdly, you clearly have an inferiority complex and think a car makes you a better person? I like cars, bit they're pieces of metal. please gain some perspective. I drive a BMW 430d Gran Coupe so stop making assumptions

[@Morag11951]

+bodrulm1 hit a Wee nerve did I? This shows you son don't comment and stir up trouble when your the driving a Dacia haha

I've driven the two rivals to the A6 - Merc E- class: nice cruiser and very relaxing not fun at all. BMW f10 - beautiful on the outside but sounds like a diesel truck and very disappointed with interior. From this review it sounds like the Audi really is middle of the road- probably more suited to a family orientated person

[@Dxrik]

they come in a supercharged v6 btw

[@MakiRunaMRsisterhood]

don't be mad on the 4K, some viewer like me watch this on mobile device, can't really use 4K, so you look still young. a question to ask, do you think this A6 can fit a big size stroller, like my daughters quinny moodd

[@carwow]

+ashley li have a look at the practicality video - just click through from the main vid. You should be able to tell from that. But basically it's the best boot in its class.
