Purchased as a used car with 39,000 miles the car has performed admirably for the ensuing 12 years and 170,000 miles. The car is comfortable to drive long distances and since it is a wagon, it has enormous carrying capacity which makes the car extremely useful. We purchased the car to be a vehicle we would keep in service for many years and it has been remarkably reliable and will last for many more years and miles.

My Audi is a great, roomy car. I have a 13 year old son who is very tall and he has plenty of leg room sitting behind my husband driving who is also very tall. The car is comfortable for all of us riding. The car has a dual turbo system, so it is quite powerful. It also gets decent gas mileage for a 6 cylinder. I can expect to get around 26 mpg. This car has been very reliable, with no mechanical problems in the couple years we have owned it.

I decided that my next car would be a BMW 535xi or the Audi A6. My boyfriend drives a 2008 BMW 535xi T and we really love the car. It does drive like a dream. However, the new 2012 BMW 535xi is a big disappointment. Driving characteristics are null/void. Is the BMW nice- yes, absolutely. Is it refined, of course. But ultimately, the BMW does not compare to the new Audi A6. I was shocked, floored, and surprised. It is that noticeable of a difference. We are thrilled with the purchase, ride, technology, and price ($2,000 off for current BMW owners). Most gorgeous car we've ever owned. My six and eight year olds love the heated seats.
