Audi A6 is pleasantly practical,[url=http://www.longchamphandbags.us@#$%&/]longchamp bags[/url]
The 2012 Audi A6 3,[url=http://www.doudoune-canadagoosepascher.fr/]@#$%& @#$%&[/url].0 TFSI Quattro sedan is a very pleasant car that has the misfortune to be sandwiched between a pair of terrific ones in Audi's own showroom: the less expensive A4 and more exciting A7.
The conservative A6 is the midlevel executive's car in Audi's lineup: solid and practical,[url=http://www.burberryoutletonline.in.net/]burberry sunglasses[/url], pretty but not showy. Expensive when well equipped,[url=http://www.celine-handbags.net/]celine bag[/url], the A6 sedan is relatively affordable in base trim. The A6 combines strong acceleration with good fuel economy.
While the flashy A7 sets itself apart from competitors like the BMW 535i,[url=http://www.monclerjackets-outlet@#$%&/]moncler jackets[/url], Cadillac CTS4 and Infiniti M35, the A6 runs with the pack. That's not a crime,[url=http://www.vanspas-cher.fr/]@#$%& soldes[/url], but if you want to blend in,[url=http://www.northface-jackets.us@#$%&/]north face@#$%&[/url], why not do it in a $20,000 Camry? People buy $50,000 plus sport sedans to make a statement, not to sit mum.
A6 doesn't assert itself
The 2012 A6 sedan introduces itself meekly. Called the A6 3.0 TFSI Quattro Tiptronic,[url=http://www.canada--goose.co.uk/]@#$%& jackets[/url], it starts at an appealing $49,900. A6 prices can escalate quickly,[url=http://www.pradaoutletonlineb@#$%&/]prada[/url], however.
I tested an A6 3.0 TFSI Quattro that stickered at $66,[url=http://www.cheap-soccerjerseys@#$%&/]soccer jerseys cheap[/url],555 coincidentally, the same price as the more appealing A7 I reviewed in the spring. A few features left off the order sheet could have added another $5,300 to the bill.
The A6 3,[url=http://www.longchamphandbagsoutlet.us@#$%&/]longchamp bags[/url].0 TFSI's supercharger more than offsets the V6's small displacement. The engine produces plenty of power,[url=http://www.nikefreerun.fr/]freerun[/url]. That broad power band offers good performance at a range of speeds. The A6 accelerates from zero to 60 in 5,[url=http://www.scarpe-hoganoutlet.it/]hogan scarpe[/url].3 seconds.
Audi's fetish with efficient powertrains and lightweight construction is on full display in the A6. The car is roomier and better equipped,[url=http://www.hollister-abercrombie.fr/]hollister france[/url], but weighs 78 pounds less than its predecessor. in the city,[url=http://www.nikeairmaxinc@#$%&/]air max thea[/url], 28 on the highway and 22 combined in EPA tests. Among all wheel drive sport sedans, the BMW 535i xDrive's fuel economy tops the A6.
The Cadillac CTS4 trails the Audi, but the EPA says the Cadillac's taste for less expensive regular fuel will make it less costly to operate. The A6's fuel economy beats AWD models of the Lexus GS 350 and Mercedes Benz E350 sedans.
The A6 held the road well through fast turns,[url=http://www.giuseppe-zanotti.us@#$%&/]giuseppe zanotti sneakers[/url], but its 55% front, 45% rear weight distribution led to a nose heavy feel.
The car I tested featured the Audi Select system to adjust its drivetrain,[url=http://www.the-north-face.co.uk/]north face jackets[/url], steering and seat belt tensioners. I would've appreciated a setting to stiffen up the suspension and reduce the car's tendency to lean in tight turns.
The interior is lovely,[url=http://www.nikeairmax-pas-cher.fr/]@#$%& air force 1[/url], with brown leather seats,[url=http://www.lululemonoutlet-canada.ca/]lulu lemon[/url], soft trim and fine grained brown ash wood trim.
The A6 has more passenger space than the A7,[url=http://www.@#$%&-freerunning.co.uk/]@#$%& free runs[/url], but it felt less roomy to me,[url=http://www.canadagoosejacketsoutlet.ca/]@#$%& jackets[/url], perhaps because the A7's wider track provides more shoulder room. The CTS and GS have roomier passenger compartments.
The A6's 14,[url=http://www.@#$%&-airmax2u@#$%&/]@#$%& air max 2013[/url].1 cubic foot trunk is about average for its class. It doesn't hold a candle to the A7's enormous 24,[url=http://www.nikeairmaxa.co.uk/]cheap air max[/url].5 cubic foot luggage capacity.
The optional Bang Olufsen sound system is magnificent. It costs an eye watering $5,900.
Audi's voice control system for hands free phone calls and navigation is among the best,[url=http://www.@#$%&-all-star.it/]all star @#$%&[/url]. The commands are intuitive and easy to use. The system understood nearly every command the first time.
The iPod interface isn't as good. It occasionally dropped out of shuffle when I turned the car off. It took several steps to return to my preferred mode.
The Audi Connect option offers techy treats like Google Earth sat nav photos, real time news updates, Wi Fi service and Google searches of local businesses and points of interest.
Its $25 to $30 a month data subscription makes Audi's system less appealing than competitors' that use the owner's smartphone service.
That question of cost versus value sums up the 2012 A6. Audi's somewhat conservative new midrange luxury sedan is good at a number of things,[url=http://www.katespadeoutleta@#$%&/]www.katespade@#$%&[/url], best at none. This middle child could use some assertiveness training.
