1999 Audi A6 Review Summary & Specs
Base Sedan
A luxury sedan with sport coupe flair.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
Everything about the Audi A6 is smooth. The engine purrs, the transmission shifts like silk, the ride is smooth, and the interior is quiet. Handling is sure-footed and inspires confidence. When the weather turns foul, its all-wheel-drive system puts it in another league. Though they make a strong styling statement, its lines are elegant.
The A6 faces strong competition from other cars in its class. But drivers will appreciate its precise handling and the feel of fine engineering this machine imparts.
