Default Disappointment, confusion and relief

So before i explain the tittle, please be warned I am about to trash Audi's new 2019-20 A6.
Yes I know I am on the S4 forum (I own one)

So my first service since i bought the car 4 months ago, went pretty smoothly (minus the fact they totally ignored my warranty items, I will deal with them later)
couldn't get to upset, the service girl had a body... that made you.... well you get it.

they also lent me for the day, a brand new A6. which i was curious to see how it drove.

in summary it is a let down!

the exterior is gorgeous,
the interior looks 'kinda' cool? (thoughts escape me on the design feels like a lexus)

anyway, it drives like terribly. the Car pulls to the right on the highway when accelerating. is that called torque over steer?
suspension set up is blah.
numb steering (yes it had dynamic steering)
biggest offense is trying to use the touch screens going over a rough road.
i couldn't change anything. your hand keeps moving around and it takes a significant amount of concentration just to change the volume.
It drove me NUTS!

yes i know this car is not a S6 or a S4... but for a sticker price of 58,900

i would scoff at buying one and I love my S4.

I think it's well understood that the A6 target market is primarily German Bankers.

Voice control works fantastic in that car, and unless you're stationary, is a far easier way to make any adjustments needed

A sticker of $58900 is a base MSRP....and A6's do not offer Dynamic Steering

I happen to be an S4 owner too. Love how the A6 drives, just don't need that size anymore. YMMV

I’d bet there was something wrong to cause it to pull. I had two A7s ((not current generation I realize) and never did they pull at all. Not likely Audi would have put a new car out that does.
