2001 Audi A6 2.8 Quattro test drive

This is my review of a 2001 Audi A6 2.8 Quattro. I will make more car reviews in the near future about some different cars and hopefully improve video quility.
This particular car is 2001 Audi A6 with the 2.8 DOHC V6 engine that puts out 200 horsepower @ 5200 rpm and 207 LB @ 3200 rpm Torque with 5 speed triptronic automative transmission and has AWD. Overall impressed with the cars performance but engine could be quicker.

It seems like all ya'll want to drive an alright car, but seem not to care about it because it's an alright car. If you take care of your sh*t like you take care of a lady heheh you should be fine man...now quit throwing dirt at this clean ass car!!

@GoldenBoy714CA It may seem alright buts is not buddy I had it for 2 years now and I know whats wrong with it. Taking care of my cars are number one priority and i put the same care in my other cars as I do in this Audi but I guess mechanically these cars suck. BTW during this video the car was OK but I am talking about the present. This Audi is like a hot girl who takes all your money due to high maintenance but its pleasing to look at and drive ;)

@PeterGriffin4200 What exactly has gone wrong with your A6 in the recent past ?

I would use a similar analogy about a high maintenance girlfriend to describe my first car: 1987 3-series.

My second car was a 1996 Camry LE. Not one problem during the year i owned it.

@onetwothreefour721 Well first was the alternator @130K( which is fixed $500) it also has bad valve cover gaskets and CV axles too; it has an engine misfire and the engine light is on and it doesn't pass emissions, which is a problem with a secondary air injection valve with is expensive to fix. All in all I am looking at almost $3,000 to fix. This cars have common transmission issues and I found out mine was already replaced by previous owner (thank god).

@onetwothreefour721 The Audi drives like a dream though, it handles the road with German perfection and it has a smooth ride and is very quiet. If the Audi wasn't high maintenance and unreliable I would keep it for ever. I also have a 1994 Toyota Camry in my family since last 11 years and it has 300,000 miles as of now and it has been very reliable throughout the years and even to this day it runs good and feels like it has more life left in it. i wish this Audi was like a Toyota.

@PeterGriffin4200 Really beautiful car, this.

[onetwothreefour721]

@PeterGriffin4200 I can imagine how nice the ride quality is. Driving my Dad's 1980 S-class, the only way to describe it would be "majestic". German cars I love, Japanese cars I like.

Is your Camry the 2.2 liter inline-4 ? Mine only had ~140,000 miles when it was sold.

[onetwothreefour721]

@PeterGriffin4200 Yeah, that's a lot of things gone wrong. Is smoke coming out of your exhaust because of the bad valve cover gasket ? I've read the A8 (d2) has the same transmission problems. .

I have a 2001 Audi A6 and it runs perfectly, no problems on it once or ever...I get a lot of complements too and I like it better than my old 2 door 3 series because its roomier, drives smooth and It's a cruiser...nothing wrong with the bimmer, but I'll stick with the Audi better!!
