For a potentially less-brittle driving experience, consider the less-aggressive tires and the non-sport suspension. In exchange for tolerating the punishing ride, you’re rewarded with a car that exhibits very little body roll when flung into a corner.

On anything but perfect roads, the experience is a bit less pleasant every pothole, highway expansion joint, bump and pavement crack is transmitted back to cabin occupants through the sport suspension and the super-low-profile P255/35ZR19 tires.

The A6 with the S Line package rides wonderfully on smooth pavement, as most cars do. My test car had the S Line package with 19-inch wheels and summer tires. Other S Line performance modifications include a choice of either 18- or 19-inch wheels. Even larger 18- and 19-inch wheels are optional.Ī conventional steel suspension and an optional adaptive suspension that uses air springs are available, and a sport version of the steel suspension that’s firmer and lower is included with the S Line package. Front-wheel-drive A6s have standard 16-inch alloy rims, while Quattro all-wheel-drive versions get 17-inch wheels. If you don’t want to attract a lot of attention when you drive, this car fits the bill.Ī number of different wheels are offered. The sedan has an aggressively raked C- pillar that flows into the short rear deck lid, which is flanked by LED taillights. Why consider the A6? With its incredibly detailed cabin, a choice of two strong engines and good crash-test scores, it’s an appealing alternative to more expensive offerings from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.Īside from its large snoutlike grille, Audi hasn’t taken many gambles with the A6’s exterior styling, which has a reserved but classy look to it from many angles. If you have $40,000-plus to spend on a luxury sedan, there are plenty to choose from.
