Cadillac STS vs. Audi A6 Review

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 Cadillac to the dealership as the Audi A6. As far as gas mileage, the Cadillac STS is somewhat better than the Audi A6, but not by much. The Audi isn't much more expensive than the Cadillac with respect to MSRP. Regarding purchase cost, the Cadillac STS costs quite a bit less than the Audi.

Utility
The Audi A6's larger trunk will accommodate more big objects than the Cadillac STS. The Cadillac STS and the A6 can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Convenience
You'll very likely have to take the Cadillac for a fill-up more often than the Audi because of its tank size and gas mileage.

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

Dimensions
The Audi A6 is a tad more ponderous than the Cadillac STS. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Audi A6 than the Cadillac STS because of its bigger tank. The Audi and the STS compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, both the Cadillac STS and the Audi A6 are full-blown sportscars.

Handling
The Audi A6 and the Cadillac have roughly comparable tires. With their similar turning radiuses, the Cadillac STS and the Audi definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Cadillac's engine isn't much more sizeable than the Audi A6's.

Overview
The Audi A6 and the Cadillac have the same basic after-sale protection.
