Brakes squeal. It was taken to the dealer and it is still making the noise when braking at low speeds. Also, the window seals seem to be a little tight for the windows. When it is humid, the windows have a difficult time going up (not with the greatest of ease).

Other than a few minor problems I still have my fingers crossed while I watch the km roll by. This is a great touring machine. It is not that great off the block, but who really pins a car like this 0-100km/h? Where this car rocks is on the highway at driving speeds. The car is smooth and silky, and the cabin is the most refined of all the German sedans (simple and cohesive lines and styling).
Living in Northern Canada I get to test out the Quattro and stability program in the winter. It is an amazing car in the winter. I live down snow packed roads for a major part of the year (that means packed ice!). The traction is amazing, you would never know you were on ice. Furthermore, the Quattro is also amazing on dry pavement and the steering is very communicative in all conditions.
Gas is not cheap and it likes to drink. However, the A6 is not that far below the others in its class for fuel consumption. Considering it has full time Quattro the fuel consumption is not that bad!
Bose stereo is good, but could be a little better! Rear seat heaters a plus!
The design is not so good in pictures, but in the flesh the car is beautiful. It is more refined than others while still turning heads.
Come and live in the UK and then you can moan about expensive fuel prices.
I've never had problems with thinking it was bad on fuel. But then again I do not drive a lot with it and my other car is a Dodge Durango. The price difference is in the fact that the Audi takes premium fuel.
I AGREE!!! I live in Michigan and my car was a total dream when we had ice and snow all over the place, and car after car was veering into ditches or having to drive at 10mph.
