Utility
Neither the Audi A6 nor the average wagon has a marked advantage when it comes to seating capacity.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Audi A6 packs quite a punch and will knock the typical wagon down a few rungs. On the flip side, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums. With that kind of horsepower, the Audi A6 is a legitimate speedster.

Dimensions
The Audi A6 is significantly more bulky than the typical wagon. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the A6 than the typical wagon because of its larger tank. The average wagon and the A6 compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
The typical wagon's fuel tank will need to be replenished a little more often than the unit in the Audi A6.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the typical wagon to the dealership as the A6.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the average wagon and the Audi A6 quite certainly handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The typical wagon's engine is significantly smaller than the Audi A6's. Bear in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the other hand, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. The Audi A6 packs quite a punch compared to the typical wagon when it comes to torque, which is the force that lets you accelerate quickly. The typical wagon could learn a lesson or two from the Audi A6 regarding pickup.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the typical wagon's front cabin compared to the Audi A6. While the rear of the A6 offers a bit more head- and leg-room than the typical wagon, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the average wagon isn't quite as generous as the Audi A6's.
