After test driving the 2005 A6, AUTOMOBILE Magazine had this to say: "Compared with its direct rivals, the Audi's packaging is up there, it musters the most powerful six-cylinder engine in its class, and the six-speed manu-matic transmission and Quattro drivetrain add to the appeal."

In a test of 8 premium luxury sedans, AUTOMOBILE Magazine chose the Audi A6 as the winner: "...there's no reason to settle for less than the best."

TT Roadster


"...a great car with the top down. The TT still stands as a monument to great interior design."

— AutoWeek, October 2004

"[The TT] offers a driving experience quite unique from its rivals....never hinting that the fun wants to stop."

— European Car, January 2005

"...the TT's all-black interior provided the usual Audi Zen, upholding the company's reputation for ergonomic excellence, quality materials and faultless build."

— thetruthaboutcars.com, October 2004

"...a car that was produced to break the mold."

— Canadian Driver, May 2005


TT Coupe


"...if you seek a coupe with a healthy dose of performance, a solid injection of luxury and an overflowing abundance of style, the TT has no competitors."

— Edmunds.com, August 2004

"From the moment I first drove the DSG-equipped coupe...I wanted one."

— European Car, January 2005

"...the TT's all-black interior provided the usual Audi Zen, upholding the company's reputation for ergonomic excellence, quality materials and faultless build."

— thetruthaboutcars.com, October 2004

Canadian Driver complimented everything from the TT's "unique styling" to its "refined ride and dynamic handling in a compact package."

Though European Car admitted that "the TT competes in a tough league," they concluded that "it offers a driving experience quite unique from its rivals...never hinting that the fun wants to stop."

Edmunds.com states, "In the five years that Audi's TT has been on sale, it has come to represent the pinnacle of advanced design and smart styling."

The TT's DSG earned raves from thetruthaboutcars.com: "No other sports car offers such a fast and effective paddle shift system."

Vehicle Voice – Blog-O-Rama considers the Audi Q7 a case of "Audi establishing yet another industry benchmark."

*** Three "Double Best Picks" for Safety in USA for Audi models A3, A4 and A6 ***

In July, Audi became the first manufacturer ever to have two models named "Double Best Pick" by the IIHS in the same year - the A4 sport sedan and the A6 luxury performance sedan. And now the all-new Audi A3 compact luxury sedan extends Audi's lead with the same high marks in frontal offset and side impact crash tests. Three "Double Best Pick" safety ratings - three times more than any other manufacturer. It's greater to lead than follow

myös uskontoon verrattava sairaus...

Audi on Tuulilasin tutkimusten mukaan ollut ainakin viime ja tänä vuonna haluttavampi kuin BMW. Ns. premium-autojen ideahan on juuri siinä, että ne maksavat enemmän, niiden huollattaminen on kalliimpaa, rahalla saatavien varusteiden määrä on laaja ja periaatteessa ajomukavuuden pitäisi olla parempi kuin ns. kansanautoissa.

90-luvun alussa ero oli vielä aika selvä: Audi 100/BMW 5-sarja/Isot mersut VS Ford Mondeo/VW Passat/Toyota Carina jne. Nykyään tavallisetkin ylemmän keskiluokan autot ovat aivan mukavia ajettavia ja ero "premium-autoihin" on selvästi pienempi kuin ennen.

Ideana on joka tapauksessa se, että noita autoja ostavat sellaiset, jotka ovat valmiita laittamaan autoon enemmän rahaa. Sen takia ärsyttää kun etenkin Suomessa ihmetellään noiden autojen korkeampia ylläpitokuluja. Jos haluaa ajaa kustannustehokkaasti, niin ostaa sen tojotan. Joku toinen voi painottaa autoa valitessaan aivan muita asioita kuin hintaa tai taloudellisuutta, eikä se ole sen syntisempää (vaikka täällä kateellisten maassa sen kuvan saakin).

kannata enää auton ostettuaan ihmetellä, ne pitää tietää ennen ostopäätöstä.
Mitä enemmän autosta maksaa ostettaessa ja mitä enemmän ylläpito maksaa, sitä enemmän verokassaan kilahtaa rahaa.
En kadehdi pätkääkään veronmaksajia.
Jos kadehtisin, haluaisin siis maksaa lisää veroja nykytilanteeseen nähden.
Eli ei veroja mulle lisää.

Mitä on A6:ssa enempi kuin Passatissa? Minusta ei mitään. Ulkokuoressa ovat ne erot, niin ja hinnassa.

Halloo! Ei Audia myytäis viikkoakaan jos siinä ois passatin palikat! Kyllä rahalla saa vastinettakin. Passatti on esim. kansan auto vaikka sitä kuinka naapurilles ja täällä todistelis? Ostit varmaan hyvän auton mutta se ei vaan yllä Audin tasolle!

tarve, kun ei ole itsetunto kunnossa. Ja yleensä myös lompakon paksuus vaikuttaa puheisiin. Elämä voi olla raskasta..

Passatti kirjoitti:

Että mitäkö eroa A6:lla ja Passatilla? Oletko päässyt ajamalla vertailemaan ko. autoja. Minä olen. Taloudessamme on molemmat kulkineet, joten vertailu on aika helppoa.

Passatin ajotuntuma on kevyt, alusta toimii moitteetta, ehkä hivenen kovahko minun makuun. Passatin ohjaus tarkka ja kevyt. A6 ajotuntuma "jämäkkä", auto muutaman sata kiloa raskaampi. Alusta sopivan pehmeä. A6:n ohjaus tahmeahko, ei palauta samalla tavalla kuin Passatin ohjaus.

Passatissa rengasmelu kantautuu sisälle voimakkaampana kuin A6:ssa.

Lisäksi autot ovat eri kokoluokassa. Passattia pitäisi verrata ennemminkin A4:ään kuin A6:een:
A-platfromilla mm. VW Golf, VW Touran, VW Eos, Audi A3, Audi TT, Skoda Octavia
B-platformilla mm. VW Passat, Audi 80, Audi A4, Skoda Superb (jatketulla B-platformilla),
C-platfromilla Audi A6.


Muotoilukieli on samantapainen, mutta siihen ne yhtäläisyydet sitten loppuukin. Vaikka valmistajakonserni on sama, niin Passat ja A6 ovat ihan eri autoja.

No en nyt tuostakaan tiedä. Onhan A6 nyt helvetisti tyylikkäämpi. Mutta kuten totesit, pitäisi sitä verrata A4:n.



Jokainen, joka hiukan tietää (auto)asioista, tietää kyllä tämän. Sitäpaitsi alustojakin saa muokattua mielinmäärin. Niitä ei lopputuloksessa voi edes välttämättä enää verrata, paitsi koonsa puolesta. Passat perustuu nykyään Golfiin, muistakaa se!

Ja sit yks juttu vielä. Se fiilis. Ah, se fiilis. Sitä ei VW:ssä saa edes rahalla. Elämä on.

joo kyllä passat on paskaa

kapula kirjoitti:

Jos nyt tuohon väitteeseen jotain vastaisi. Pasaatilla (-99) on ajeltu 220 tkm,ja huoltojen lisäksi ei ole tarvinnut autoa korjata.

Aakutvosella (-01) on ajeltu 90 tkm ja autoa on korjattu milloin mistäkin viasta johtuen useita kertoja, takuuseen ne on onneksi kaikki tehty.

Noh, kuten sanottua, Aakutvonen on niin pirun mukava auto, jotta kyllä siitä ilosta jo mielellään maksaakin.

Aika kallista....Audi on :O)

Tojopellen mielipiteitä

No kyllä minun mielestäni molemmat ovat OK, mutta itse vaan tykkään miehestä joka uskaltaa ajaa Audilla. Sellaisen pikkunilkit jotka ajavat Bemarilla ova säälittäviä. Kun ei muuten ole itsetunto kohdallaan...

Toyota Corollalla tai Avensiksella,uusin sikakuskin
auto on Kia Cerato...

Näköjään kun on rahaa,niin se ilmenee ylimielisenä
käytöksenä muita tielläliikkujia kohtaan.

mukaan

Ilmoita siitä törtöstä poliisille. Pikkaisen kun seuraavat sen toimia niin saat sen vähäksi aikaa pois liikenteestä häiriköimästä.

Kumpikin käy ja kumpaakin on ollut. Tällä kertaa Bemari.
Laatupelejä, vaikeaa olisi kuvitella muilla ajavansa.

Laatututkimuksissa ei löydy BMW:tä eikä Audia läheltäkään kärkeä. Lisäksi uudet autot ovat laatuvaikutelmaltaankin jo nousseet entisten "premiumien" tasolle ja ohi. Kannattaa seurata elämää vähän oman navan ulkopuolellakin.

Missä tutkimuksissa? Autobildin? Yms. Huoltomiehen hymy ja siitä saadut pisteet eivät kerro autosta mitään. Katso ennemmin esim. tiellejättämistilastoja.



Nimenomaan. Laatuvaikutelma....
Kumma vaan, kun nuo uudet autot eivät yleensä kerää palkintoja esim. paras ohjaamo, jossa nimenomaan sitä laatua mitataan. Esim. Audilla näitä palkintoja on vaikka jakaa niille uusille autoille.



Kyllä. Otahan neuvosta onkeesi ja ole tyytyväinen siihen omaan autoosi.

Ensin muutama Toyota, sitten yksi Audi ja niin kaduin tyhmää päätöstäni, että ei enää koskaan Audia. Yksi riitti! Takaisin Kauko-Idän tuotteisiin ja huolet loppui siihen paikkaan. Nyt säilyy arvo eikä tarvi muuta kuin määräaikaishuollot teettää.
Sääliksi käy Audin kanssa tuskailevia.
