11 months and 21000 miles later. I STILL love to drive this car--->
almost a year has gone by, and this is still the only car that I have owned that I LOVE to drive. On the days that I don't drive it, I actually wished that I had. Since I don't drive to work, I usually come home, move the Pathfinder out of the driveway and pull the A6 out to go for a spin. Even if I have nowhere to go, I almost always will go through the effort to move the 'Finder just to take a 20-30 minute drive.
I could go on forever about this car, and in so many past posts I have. (so I'll spare everyone another long re-hash)
I haven't had the funds to put the wheels that I want on the car yet (I'm closing on our first home end of June) so all of my changes have been the simple, cosmetic type. Hopefully after our wedding in August, I'll have some spare coins to add my "finishing touches" to the car.
I love the syrupy torque delivery of the 2.7 engine.
I love the super-strong, and fade-free brakes.
I love the smooth action of my stock shifter.
I love the rigidity of the body structure and the heft of all the controls.
I love the cars Autobahn-bred road manners, 100 mph still feels like 65 does in many other cars.
I love the performance. Think of it, over 250hp from 2.7 turbocharged litres (I tend to estimate more like 260-265). It can hustle a car that weighs 4080 lbs (with driver) from 0-60 in about 5.7-5.8 seconds and down the 1/4 mile in 14.4. That's pretty darn impressive. What I find even more impressive is that I regularly return 19 mpg in the city, and close to 27 on the highway.
What I don't like:
I would still like an additional 25hp..Hmmm
The delay feature of the wipers requires some time to adjust properly, since they are speed sensitive.
This darn Ming Blue. It's so beautiful, but it's so darn hard to keep clean...
I love this A6 so much, It'll be hard for me to get rid of it, if and when Audi makes a successor.
