2010 audi a6 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-weather capability with room and style. introductionthe audi a6 is a comfortable, stylish luxury sedan that delivers dynamic excellence. The a6 is packed with technology that enhances convenience and safety. Its styling is a crisp, clean and modern interpretation of the aerodynamic sedan audi debuted more than 30 years ago. underway, the a6 boasts precise steering, fluid engines and transmissions, stout brakes and a firm but comfortable ride. In high-speed corners the quattro models feel like they're on rails, a benefit of audi's superb all-wheel-drive system. Braking and handling are excellent, whether on dry pavement or hurtling through a torrent of rain. the a6 is available as a sedan or a wagon and both are among the sleekest designs in the class. All a6s except the entry model come with quattro all-wheel drive. the standard 3. 2-liter v6 is all-new for 2010, with more horsepower (265 hp, an increase of 10 over 2009) and better fuel economy than before. Backed by a continuously variable automatic transmission, the new 3. 2-liter v6 delivers sufficient performance for any purpose. The supercharged 3-liter brings 300 hp and nearly as much torque as the v8, for similar performance on less fuel. The v10-powered s6 is for serious drivers who don't mind trading comfort for high performance. also new for 2010 are revised sport packages and a third generation of mmi, audi's multi-media interface. These changes follow 2009's updates to bumpers and lighting and refinements to the suspension and all-wheel driveline. the a6 competes primarily against the bmw 5 series and mercedes-benz e-class. It's powered by the 265-hp 3. 2-liter v6 and comes with front-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission with seven preset gear ratios for manual control. That adds up to an epa city/highway rating of 18/28 mpg. a6 3. 0t quattro premium sedan 50,200) and avant 53,310) are powered by a 300-hp supercharged v6, epa-rated 18/26 mpg. The a6 4. 2 quattro premium sedan 60,950) packs a 350-hp v8 rated 16/23 mpg. The avant also gets roof rails, cargo cover, cargo retention system, rear spoiler and rear wash/wipe. Options are the same as for the premium level, except that the sport package can be ordered with 18-inch 1,000) or 19-inch 1,500) wheels. prestige trim is standard on the a6 4. 2 and optional 4,850) on the 3. 0t sedan and avant. The s4 shares the prestige option list as well, plus carbon fiber trim inlays 400). Safety features include traction control, electronic stability program, and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, and brake assist. Passive safety features include two-stage frontal airbags, side-impact front airbags to protect the torso, head-protecting curtain side airbags to protect the head for front and rear outboard passengers; and active front head restraints. Rear side airbags are optional 350) on all versions and a rearview camera comes with navigation. All except the 3. 2 models come with all-wheel drive for added traction under power. walkaroundthe audi a6 is a study in excellent design. Flowing lines give the a6 sedan the sleekness of a coupe without the quashed windows and head-enveloping window line. There's simplicity to the upswept door trim and shoulder crease blending into a subtle rear spoiler that suggests elegance and strength. Jewelry and adornment are kept to a minimum; as with an attractive person no additional cosmetics are needed. a trapezoidal grille and substantial interlocked rings highlight the front end, so that the grille pattern continues top to bottom, eliminating the flat license-plate section that spilt the opening on pre-2009 models (although in states that require a front plate, there really isn't any other place for it go). Rectangular fog lamps enhance the front styling, and a strip of led running lamps underlines the headlight housing. At the rear of the a6 are sleek, oblong led taillights. the a6 avant is an especially sleek-looking wagon, distinguished by dark center pillars, very mildly tapering side windows and sloping roofline with discrete spoiler incorporating the center brake light. The hatch glass angle is more crossover-like, as opposed to a volvo wagon's upright box rear end; the defroster will quickly shed snow. body panels fit closely together on the a6, around the doors, hood and trunk lid, along lamps and door handles. Door jambs and the trunk and hatch openings are all well-finished, and there are myriad seals to keep dirt and wind noise out. The 19-inch wheels on the avant lend the appearance of audi's 174-mph rs6 superwagon. the s6 is distinguished from its less-powerful stalemates by special exterior and interior elements. Most noticeably, it retains the old-style split grille, albeit overlaid with a grid-like pattern. A different front bumper feeds more cooling air and moves the led daytime running lights to the top of two lower cooling ducts. The front foglamps are incorporated into the headlight housings with tinted covers, the lower door trim is more pronounced, and the integrated trunk spoiler is a bit larger. The aluminum trim surrounds rearview mirror housings. The s6 also has black brake calipers, dual tailpipes each side, special 19-inch wheels with fat tires, and the requisite s6 and v10 badges. Paint choices are limited to a more discrete palette, a good move as the exhaust note attracts enough attention. interiorthe audi a6 cabin is spacious, very well finished, and bathed in daylight. While no one builds the perfect interior, audi is frequently recognized for its interiors. valcona leather upholstery is standard across the a6 line, including a very attractive combination of amaretto and black. The amaretto on the seat centers is surrounded by black, and on the door panels makes a nice counterpoint to the also-standard wood trim. Everything is illuminated, even the door armrests with light pipes hidden under the wood trim.

2007 audi q7 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Audi hits a home run with its first suv. introductionluxury suvs have gained widespread popularity in the united states. However, until now, audi has not had an offering in this segment of the market, leaving a gaping hole in its model lineup. But as the saying goes: arrive late, dress well. And audi has done just that with its sensational q7. while the q7 may be audi's first-ever sport-utility, its strength and refinement suggest that audi has been in this game for years, if not decades. Like other audis, the q7 is a paragon of driving elegance and interior refinement. built upon the same solid architecture shared by the volkswagen's impressive touareg and porsche's high-performance cayenne, the q7 is even nicer to drive than its two corporate cousins, thanks to a more compliant ride and audi's decades of experience with all-wheel-drive systems, which audi calls quattro, or quattro. The q7 is also the longest of the three, and thus is the only one to offer three-row seating. Audi also has equipped the q7 with many luxury and convenience features not found on the touareg and cayenne, including a few not found on any other luxury suv. with a base price of less than $50,000, the q7 is priced close to others in the luxury suv segment, which also includes the cadillac srx, lexus gx 470, and mercedes-benz m-class. With all-wheel drive, a choice of powerful v6 and v8 engines and arguably the classiest interior in the segment, the q7 deserves serious consideration when shopping for a luxury suv. lineupthe 2007 audi q7 line features two engines and two trim levels. Both the 3. 6 and 4. 2 models are available in regular and premium trim. All q7s come with six-speed tiptronic automatic transmissions and quattro all-wheel drive. the 3. 6, available september 2006, is powered by a 3. 6-liter v6 that delivers 280 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. Options for the 4. 2 premium include 20-inch alloy wheels 800); adaptive air suspension 2,600); audi side assist 500); 6600-pound towing package 550); rear side air bags 350); and the seven-passenger seat configuration (no charge). An s-line package 3,800), available on all models except 3. 6, features more aggressively styled lower body moldings, sport front seats, a sport-tuned suspension and 21-inch alloy wheels. The blunt front end features audi's signature bold grille flanked by menacing headlights at the leading edge of the sculpted hood. A heavily stylized front end helps mask the formidable mass of the q7's nose. Fog lights are set into the lower moldings. crisp side-view styling with articulated fenders and an arching roofline also do much to lessen the generous dimensions of the q7. Two stylish, full-length metal rails on the roof provide anchor points for accessory crossbars for securing cargo on the roof. the q7's rear view is dominated by high-mounted, horizontal taillamps with led illumination and fiber-optic/led turn signals. The cut line for the tailgate sweeps outward around the taillamps to become a styling element of its own. lower moldings are rendered in a durable, unpainted, chip-resistant material that is color-keyed to the paint above. With the available s-line appearance package, they are replaced by more aggressively styled lower moldings that are painted to match the body. other notable exterior features that would be particularly appreciable in colder climates include pull-type door handles that are easy to use with gloves, as well as wide-sweeping windshield wipers that, when not in use, rest on an area heated by the interior vents in order to prevent freezing. interioraudi designed the q7 interior with flexibility in mind, with 28 different passenger/cargo arrangements between three available seating configurations. With the conventional 40/20/40 split second-row bench seat, the q7 seats five; add the third-row seat and it'll seat seven. Standard on the 4. 2 premium is a six-passenger arrangement with second-row bucket seats separated by a center console, with the third row bench behind it. Getting in and out of the front or second-row seats is easy thanks to large doors and a reasonably low floor. Accessing the third row is not as easy: the second-row seat slides and folds forward to grant access, but never quite enough for an adult to get back there smoothly. As with most suvs, the third row is best left to the kids. interior trim speaks of high quality, with padded surfaces everywhere one can touch and virtually no hard plastics. Three different kinds of wood are available, as is patterned aluminum trim. The mix of materials conveys a level of luxury that matches, if not exceeds, the q7's price. the q7's gauges are clear and bright with an information display between the speedometer and tachometer which cycles through several menus via buttons on the steering wheel. Redundant navigation messages are also communicated through this display, even when the dashboard screen displays something else, a useful feature. The stalk-mounted cruise controls and the switches for the wipers and lights have a supple, expensive feel. as with the a6 and a8, the q7 combines controls for the stereo, navigation system and other functions into a screen-based system audi calls the multi-media interface (mmi). Designed to reduce the amount of buttons on the dashboard while adding even more features, mmi adds layers of complexity that require a considerable amount of time and practice to operate smoothly. While most of the audio adjustment functions are incorporated into mmi, the controls used most often, such as the volume and seek funct.
