I own the 2016 a6 3.0 Quattro an can say it's a beautiful on the inside an I love it. Though I've never driven any good sports car but I love how fast I can get this car up. Also the warning indication on the side of the mirror has saved me more than I'd like to admit too lol
It's almost 400hp it's one of the underrated in horsepower engines
Doubtful. Mine is APR tuned and put down 355 to the wheels.
more like 360hp but it often gets handicapped based on when the ECU let's the car shift.(2010-2012) weren't limited but the B8.5 gens were. Stock my 2014 S4 put down just under 300hp with a dual clutch but was hampered by the shift points. Stock it would shift at 6800 but now it revs to 7,200 in all by first gear.
She's stage II now with a DSG Tune and pull down mid to high 11's in the quarter miles at 113-115mph. Roughly 460 crank HP. The engine in the A6 has the same potential but the auto tranny will suck up some of that power.
@@ms3er396 333 hp is not close to 400 dude :)
@@magnuskilsgaard6416 Not sure where the 400hp quote comes from. It doesn't need to be when it's proving itself by the trap speeds and times that it does to keep up with 400hp cars. I wrote the above but since it's now a dual pulley set up laying down 11.3's at 120mph all day long.
Stock set ups on the 3.0t are under-rated and I stand by that comment.
@@ms3er396 I absolutely agree, but it still dont have 400 horsepower
Granted the audi interior definitely hasn't been updated in a while, in my opinion it has aged incredibly well.
I like the format you used to review this car. It flows well. Great job man. Keep the great work up.
Lol at all the people hating on a Audi they could never afford.
It makes someone to feel less bad when criticising that s why.
Bruh I can afford one now
@@tenzinsmith7991 yeah fr only 3 years old and my 17 yr old bro was able to afford one🤣
@@C63Ahmed Nice. Is that your 6-series in the profile pic? Love the color!
@@tenzinsmith7991 Thanks, wasn’t my favorite color in the beginning but definitely grew on me
lol 0:45 parker your gopro situation is fucking hilarious
Hilarious. The things we gotta do for RUclips.
hahahahaha
hahahaha....
beotifulle
A6 3.0 2011 I love it my car makes me feel like a even more special man
That key fob looks exactly like the one on my Kia. Lol
+SweetPickle looks the same as my lambo too haha
@SweetPickle roasted
+Vehicle Virgins That would be because VW owns both Audi and Lamborghini, but you knew that already.
yeah coz fucking kia and hyundai copied the keys
Because the only thing Kia can copy is the key?
Use to work for Audi but decided to work on RUclips videos instead! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK PARKER! Let's show some appreciation:)

wtf, A6 is not a sports car, so why would you expect it to be?
Precisely. Approaching every review as if the car is a sports vehicle is inherently the fault of this channel. Not every class of vehicle needs a manual, and 500 HP.
Exactly they make the S6, S7 and RS7 if you want something more sporty.
apheus27 that's the problem with about 90% of car related RUclips channels and it drives me insane.
even rs 6!
Going to disagree a bit because making a luxury car feel smaller and still sporty is the true challenge. It's easier to make a good luxurious car. What often separates the good and the great luxury cars for many is handing.
Audi's are getting a lot better in terms of reliability
Disagreed. Ive a got c7 a6. Had transmission malfunction, fixed the mechatronics. Previously had an a4 even more unreliable. I think we should turn to the Japanese in terms of reliability. Thinking about getting a Lexus next..
yeah Audis are nice to look at in the shop being maintained every week!
If your Audi’s in the shop for transmission then your not taking care of your car
Btw Japanese cars have rotors worped all the time
@@McBeakerson maybe because i had the s tronic version. But what i liked about it, with custom exhaust, it farts almost or just like the dsg golf.
Bro I own this car and I was legit told by some car guys that there’s no such thing as the Audi A6 2.0T S line. LIKE BRO I OWN A NONEXISTENT CAR? What’s even funnier is that they told me that in the comment section of a street racing video where the Audi A6 raced a Dodge Charger 392 Hemi and won.
Funny, I settled on a one owner 2016 A6 3.0T one owner with under 40K. and it cost me less than a brand new Honda accord that I was looking at. The interior is excellent for this car its a lux car, with good power and handling. I thought the same about the trans response but once I got together with a local Audi group and they showed me how to use it correctly. A few just had minor mods with ECU and trans flash and what a difference.
The steering weight is subjective and the weight is good, its not a super car. Look at the intent of the design and what it was meant to do.
Those looking for those things you did not like would probably go for the S model.
So what if the interior hasn't changed it still looks amazing
It is still amazing, its competition is ridiculous (F10, E W212)
But if it was infiniti you all would be hating tho lol
Love how you did this video! Please do more car reviews like this :)
and please review the new BMW 5 Series :)
Drove one of these for a week, and decided I still didn't like the newer ones enough to trade in my D3 A8L. Sharp car, but it wasn't really the same experience that I'm used to.
Love the reviews
dude it must seriously be just amazing to drive cars and do what you love and get paid for it all at the same time. and daily!!!!! man I love the channel. I've only been subscribed for about 2 months but I love almost every video and have viewed you earlier vids and they just get better. keep up the great work and I'll keep watching and liking the videos. 👍👍👍👍👍
Michael Bacon What car do you drive?
Screw this guy. I love my 2017 A6
I drive the A6 2013 (EU) estate version, and god, I love it to bits! Looks very similar to this car, I'm assuming it hit the EU market before the US? 400 bhp and a twin turbo engine to boot is fun and with the RS6 seat, there is no "swooping".
Good video! This car is identical to my 2015 model. Really should have been updated by now.
Yess an audi videoooo!!!
I really like this style of video.
I've got the german version with a 6 speed manual and full aluminum trim (which makes the interior look a lot more modern) and I love it.
I feel like some BMW drivers/fans can't do reviews on cars bcuz all they know is BMW. they don't know the beauty and power of Audi. #4Rings
the 3.0l biturbo with 313hp is one of the best cars ive ever been driving. but i find the avant looks way better.
Thanks for not saying it's boring like every other car reviewer even though it's in your title lol
Thank you for being direct, and not playing all that damn useless music in the front of this video. How does this automobile match up against the Mercedes C 300?
gread new stil of a Review
thanks :)
I got this same one. 2017 A6 Blue with brown interior. Actually, I think it's a great car. Got mine in 2021 w/32K miles for $24K. Comfortable as heck, Great driver and quick acceleration. Great braking. Handling is a dream even in New England snow and slush; like your on rails with no handling issues. The paddle shifters are garbage, that is true but I never really cared honestly.
That blue color is phenomenal
I fell in love with it when I saw it on the street. Until I realized it just looks like a cleaned up VW...
still lovin my c7
Try an S6 next time you wont be disappointed
Nice video Parker
my dads a hotelier and every hotel we get the top the range 5 series, E class and A6L
Audi is leagues ahead of both, i like the E class though the rear seats can't compare and beamer is really disappointing and honestly annoying to driven in
why don't you talk about the Lexus GS? great competitor. I always enjoy your videos man!
Wanted to see if you could do a video on why you chose the s-class over the 7 series that would be a good one 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
the interior looks almost exactly like a 2006ish a8.
When you have the ability to test and drive multiple different cars and you drive a s-class and an huracan your expectations are higher. Me, I drive a cvic everyday and I think the car is perfect. I used to work at a dealership where I got to drive all different types cars and I've always liked the audi a6 vs it's old competitors (the old 5series and the old e-class)
I have a C7 A6 with the 3.0T motor. APR 93 ECU tune and it's 435HP. 0-60 in 4.6 and 12.9 1/4 mile. It's a great car. The downshifts aren't awesome, but I just use the shifter to downshift and I've found it pretty responsive. Upshifts are super fast and strong in dynamic mode.
0-60 in 4.6? I don't think it's 435hp.
Why don't you think that? Dynoed 355 to the wheels. 435 - 18%= 356
Ryan is correct and its a 4k lbs car too
I think it's more of a direct competitor to the Volvo V90. It's a family estate with first class interior quality and exterior styling. I'd definitely get the BMW 5 series though. To me it's more important how the car drives.
We get it with 3.0 TDI (272HP) and Stronic dual clutch transmission in Europe. Pedal response is insane fast with dc.
I’ve had my A6 competition for 3 yrs now. Oil changes and wiper blades so far. I plan on keeping it another 3 yrs.
What year?
@@vincentv1790 it’s a 2017, now just over 4 yrs old, still running perfect. Best car I’ve owned.
@@cleanasdirt6832 2.0t or 3.0t, I think I want to grab a cpo soon
@@vincentv1790 3.0 V6 supercharger.it even gets great mpg on hwy.
snow? the roads are cleared bro.
the headlights are great!
Bought one yesterday !
sharon clipner how is it now?
How can be the tranamission slow? BMW M5 has the same one except bigger for more power but otherwise same 8speed ZF trans that will most likely last forever and never fail. Id take it rather than any dual clutch.
You guys in the states get the regular 8-speed torque converter. Us in Europe get the double-clutch 7-speed which is a lot more fun and responsive.
The steering to me is fine, I didn't on the Cadillac before but and get what you're saying but if you drive in comfort mode mostly you get pretty use to how light it is and wouldn't want dynamic any heavier
Audis look like a car Mickey Mouse would drive in especially the steering wheel lol
I love the brown leather that comes in This era of Audi
You better arrange for a 2017 M550xi Test Drive as soon as it comes out.
How's that goofy gopro head setup feeling? lol pretty nice perspective tho
So basically just buy an E class or 5 series? k got it parker.
well both of those cars look better, not to mention the e class.
Apres Midi E class looks better, 5 series drives better.
unless you buy an a7
a7 is waaaaay bigger though
LegendInThaMakin marozas blet, slav
I love audi this one is my favorite
Same here
What everybody really wants to know, is if Farshad is still stalking you!
Are you going to do a review on the Audi A5 Sportback by any chance?
If you want performance with a sporty trans. S6 and RS6 is right there for you.
And it has the horn on the steering wheel!
Parker can you please do a comparison between the e90 m3 vs c63 amg
Yeah summed it up perfectly couldn’t agree more
You need to get your hands on the Alfa Giulia. Even the previous E class feels more connected to the road than the Audi A6 - steering is completely lifeless.
Hey Parker, what happened to the video with the crazy car collection in Utah ? Was holding off on watching it now I cant seem to find it
lol in Germany the 2017 a6 is equipped with a 7 speed double clutch gearbox ( stronic) and not the tip tronic (only 3 liter diesel)
not a huge audi fan.. but i love the new exterior on this one..
stephen Berezin this is the old one the new audi line will come this year all new a6 a7 a8
It looks fucking awesome
damn the a6 is gorgeous
the paddles are less responsive in automatic when the car is in drive push the shifter to manual and those paddles get a lot more responsive I thought the same thing till I put the car in manual before using the paddles
do the a7 next!!!
can you please do a review about skoda octavia 2016 1.4 liter engine ? I think it will really surprise you
More videos like this one pls
We had an Audi A6 from 2015,and,althoug it maybe does not have aggressive steering like BMW,and maybe E class is slightly more comfortable,you can not say that this is boring car. It still has sharpness,comfort and nice handling.
Transmission isn't slow at all. It's an automatic. And yes I've driven many of these, I work at a dealer. But you can't compare to double clutch systems
I agree about Audi transmissions being SO S L O W 😣. Recently, it is possible to change the gearbox settings via chip reprogramming. As I had my 2 ECU's remapped for much improved performance on my 2008 Audi Q7 V8 TDi, they reprogrammed the Trany (No not Michelle Obama) and the response times are much improved. The only other mod was the rear muffler replaced with two stainless steel hotdogs. Sounds much better as well. The gearbox chip reprogram cost nil extra as I was already paying for remapping the engine. Any Euro specialist upgrade service center can do this. Well worth it.
I love how the outside view insnt in sink
litterly looks so much a like our old audi a6 2013. changed it for a dodge durango r/t 2016
I personally don't agree with the steering although it's extremely light the responsiveness is still amazing
So the entry level A6s in the US have supercharged V6s? While here in the UK it's a 2.0TDI, they don't even make a petrol A6 anymore here..
I luv my A6.
That AUDEMARS thooo
I used to own A6, Horribly boring and Horribly expensive to fix, Now I have Sierra Denali 1500
My personal favorite part of this car is the ipad superglued to the dash.
bbsp it folds away though, which I really like.
If you can, can you review the Maserati ghibli s q4
I think the current S6 really addresses your major concerns with the steering and the gear box. It borrows the gearbox from the previous R8 and the outgoing S4 (the DQ500 7 speed dual clutch). That being said, for what it is, I went from my '14 S4 and '16 TTS to a loaner A6 3.0 black optic and was pleasantly surprised (after being let down by the previous 2.0 FWD A6's I had driven).
Once he said what he said about to 4 different drive modes I had to pause the video..he’s definitely a BMW fan..I drive an A6 myself & I ride in comfort cause it’s smooth compared to the other drive modes smh
what about the 2017 audi a4?
How tall are you Parker? It's hard to see if there's a lot of leg room or not because you won't say you're height.
do more of these.
I wish the Audi A6 had the same steering wheel an and screen as the a4 and r8
I like head light of audi A6 2017.
I’ve had a Audi sline A6 2017 for 4 years. It’s 4th car so I don’t drive it that much. Anything I should watch out for ? I got like 29k on it as of right now.
Will you be able to do the new bmw m550i?
Well the steering is going to be light in an A6 simply because it's not an all-out sports car. Like you said, it's a great daily driver so a lot of effort to turn the wheel will get tiresome.
He's collab with Audi so he's obviously gonna say good things
those wheels are nice
What was the flashing light in the windshield by driving at the end??
Prior to the new redesign the 5 series was NOT driver oriented at all. Drove a 535i with 19" wheels as a loaner and it was not sporty at all.
Here in Europe these large bodied, luxurius freeway cruisers, the "Autobahnsturmer" as the German's call them, are typically fitted with a turbodiesel instead of a petrol engine. These powerful petrol engine models are mostly for the U.S market and things like the automatic gear box are designed to work smoothly with a high torque and low rev turbodiesel. And Audi's don't come with a Quattro system as standard except in top-of-the-line models like an A8, A7, S- and RS-models. My enlightened gut feel says that one is more likely to come across an A6 RS than an A6 Quattro with a 3-litre petrol engine here in Europe. Then again an A6 Avant Quattro S-line with a 3-litre turbodiesel V6 is a fairly common sight at least here in Northern Europe. And for sure as shit makes a hell of a more reasonable car.. :D
This is actually perfect timing. I am trying to make a decision between the A6, Mercedes E-class, and BMW 5 series. Which one do you think I should lease?
Spencer poore Mercedes E Class. It basically has the inside of an S class and Nice Exterior; Pure Luxury!
Spencer poore i have a A6 Avant 2011 and it has 200000km on it and is better to drive than any thing else. Extremly well built and everything is just so great. its a combi!
The bimmer
They are so practical aswell THE A6
Spencer poore new e class is nice
