Audi A6 Review
2009 Audi A6
Price Range: $45,100 - $60,950

Performance
As far as horsepower, the A6 packs quite a wallop and will knock the typical wagon down a few rungs. On the other hand, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

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

Drivetrain
The Audi A6 has a more sizeable engine than the average wagon. Bear in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. The Audi A6 packs quite a wallop compared to the typical wagon in terms of torque, which is the force that lets you accelerate quickly.

Utility
Neither the A6 nor the average wagon has a marked advantage in terms of seating capacity.

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

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the typical wagon's front cabin compared to the Audi A6. The A6 is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the average wagon.

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

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the typical wagon to the dealership as the A6. The average wagon won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Audi A6. The Audi A6 won't tax your gasoline budget substantially more than the average wagon will. Regarding MSRP, the typical wagon costs tremendously less than the Audi A6.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the typical wagon isn't quite as generous as the Audi A6's.

The price a car site displays won't be what you'll pay for an actual car with specific options.
