I’ve had an S8 and and A8L in the past but had to move to a pickup 5 years ago for the utility of it. My teen is going to get my pickup so I’m looking for another Audi and have settled on a pre-owned A6 Prestiege. Likely a grey or black 2016. I’ve kept my eye on used prices over the last six months but they seem not to have budged. I’m wondering if the PODS recall is limiting inventory and if once the fix is in we’ll see the market flooded and prices take a one-time drop. Any thoughts on how this is going to play out? Thanks

You don’t have to leave the first page of this forum to find complaints about the A6 seats, it has come up many times over the years and I have never known a car forum to have so many complaints as the A6.

Gads. After a few weeks on this forum you definitely stand out. Dr. Doom. Did someone take a s(85 in your Cheerios? The first real discussion of the seats in the A6 that I can find was in July, which is several pages back. Certainly not on the first page. The discussion there involved people that owned other models too, not just the A6. Anyway, they seemed to love the comfort seats and were mixed in the standard seats, some loved them, some didn’t. That seems to be pretty normal for all Audi discussions. As far as complaints in general, your statement that the A6 forum has the most complaints period is pretty lame. After a couple years on the A4 forum, I don’t think you are very accurate in that at all.

I can confirm that the discussions about uncomfortable seats started at least as far back as early 2014. I know, I was in the discussion. I agree that it was not unanimous but to have numerous people conclude that the seats are not very comfortable is not something that would be expected in a luxury sports sedan. If a Kia had below par seats then you don’t have a lot to complain about but after spending 70k on a German import then I expect better although, as previously stated, Mercedes put out some crap seats as well. German seats are typically snug, hard padding and, by American standards, are frequently “uncomfortable “.
My posts only stand out because I tend to say what others think but won’t say. I am very intolerant of mediocrity when superior could be had for very little additional effort. Don’t get me wrong, I love my A6 but , as with most manufactured goods, it is easy to improve upon if lunacy and bean counters were replaced by free open minded thinking and implementation.
