2001 Audi A6 2.7T review from North America
"Great luxury value at mid-level prices"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gone Wrong; Car runs great, but is coming up with lots of aesthetic issues. Front Passenger window is cut from something digging into it as it lowers into the door. Brakes light LED's are burning out. Headlight washers are inoperable. Trip computer has dead pixels all over it. Brakes are pulsating at lower speeds. I was told it is b/c my rims were installed improperly, but then I read many similar critiques...hmm, do we all have the same rims? Haven't had the service appointment yet, ill update the review after they do (or refuse to do) all the warranty work.
General comments?
Engine runs like a dream. Fast smooth and comfortable. Can't wait to get a chip in there and see what it can really do. (Trying to decide between APR and GIAC) The interior is immaculate and much more comfortable than the 5 series bmw. I compared to 530i...Audi has more HP, turbo, all wheel drive, and is significantly cheaper. Great buy, ill hook this car up and keep it for a while. Has a style that can be modified, but still look dignified. With a chip and intake alone, you can have it pushing 325HP. NICE.
