| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 300hp 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Pricey, especially with options, but no more so than its direct competition. Still cheaper than an equivalent M-B or BMW. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Not a lot of 26 year olds in my town are driving the car i have so i get looks allll the time. but anyway, Depending how much money you have to put down and make, will determine if u have a 500 $ payment since i was 11k upside down on my trade in. |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Over $10k more than V70 |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Price is high...but all cars in this class have a high price. You get what you pay for. :) |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Full price - no discounts or concessions |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 265-horsepower 2.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | it is a pricey car in an absolute sense but a good value vs. bmw 540 |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.2L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | The car is was very expensive, and hence payments high. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6 6-speed manual AWD | It can be quite expensive, though a used A6 over 5 years old will drop in price dramatically and become an excellent deal. |

| 2004 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Prices on New cars are very high, and Factory Maintence is ludicrous prices. |

| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Top class material. Everything looks new still after 3 years and zero creaks and groan. It is clear that the designer has put their heart when they design this cabin. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |

All of the German brands have a reputation for excellent build quality and usually offer the newest safety and convenience features. Audi has always been known for the safety and security of its Quattro all-wheel drive system. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Perfect fit and finish throughout |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Actually I wouldnt know because i have not had to take it to a Audi Shop for anything serious. I do always have to reset my auto power windows and the service engine is on alot,the gas gage sometimes doesnt move, and seems like the fan in running all time |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Audi woud not try to repair until a system or part totally failed. I was eventualy informed that they wait to replace something that fails so they can send it back to the manufacturer for a credit. |

| 2005 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 268hp 2.9L I6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Some of the materials inside the vehicle are cheap. The plastic molding is very brittle and breaks easily. The outside plastic door handles are very thin plastic. Overall, the design both exterior and interior are superior, but the quality needs help. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 268hp 2.8L I6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
this car is total junk. It self destructs at 50K miles |
