#Audi a6 2006 2.0 fsi quattro retail price drivers
Left in D, the time we waited for the engine to get to full boil had us missing lights and allowing car-lengths to stretch before us in stop-and-go congestion-spots that quickly filled with more alert drivers with decisive right feet (or perhaps naturally aspirated engines).
Hence, we left the shifter in Sport mode for much of our time with the car in traffic-choked Los Angeles-which explains our ho-hum observed fuel economy of 21 mpg. For real-world driving, this Audi’s 7.1-second 5-to-60-mph time is more telling-and reflects the approximate time required for the car to gather itself, downshift, and get the turbo spooling. Of course, zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds isn’t exactly slow, but that’s achieved with a 3000-rpm brake-torqued launch. The 3.0T also sounds way better than this car’s smooth but bleating four-pot. With the 2.0T’s turbocharged four-cylinder producing a respectable 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, it was a full 1.5 seconds slower to 60 and trailed the 3.0T by nearly the same amount at the quarter-mile mark. The real question is can we live without the A6 3.0T’s superior performance? In a recent test, the 2016 model, powered by a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 with 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, sprinted to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 13.3.
#Audi a6 2006 2.0 fsi quattro retail price plus
We could imagine the A6 being just as nice without the fancy wheels and the warm-weather pack’s sunshades and four-zone automatic climate control, but the Premium Plus package seems more or less necessary, so consider $53,025 as the true price of entry, which is still notably less than the $58,325 starting point of the 3.0T model. A $900 warm-weather package and an $800 set of sweet 19-inch wheels with all-season rubber hiked the final tally to $54,725. That well-spent extra coin brings the A6 up to proper luxury-car snuff, adding navigation, the MMI infotainment system’s clever touch-pad input, parking assistance with a rear camera, a power-adjustable steering column, USB ports, auto-dimming heated exterior mirrors, a six-month subscription to Audi Connect services, and blind-spot monitors. Is it an unlovable bait-and-switch car, the type that each dealer stocks only one of on the lot? We strapped our equipment to one to find out.Īdmittedly, our Ibis White test car with Nougat Brown leather was hardly bare-bones, thanks to the inclusion of the Premium Plus package that adds $3700 to the 2.0T Quattro’s $49,325 base price. But what about the price-leading A6 2.0T model? It’s the A6 that gives Audi dealers a banner-ad model to lure customers into dealerships with an attractive, sub-$50K price or an attractive monthly lease. That’s particularly true of the brilliantly balanced 3.0T and the sportified S6 variant. The Audi A6 is currently our favorite mid-size luxury sedan.
