2006 audi a6 for
What to do if you have saved up only 500 thousand rubles, but you want a prestigious business-class foreign car? We propose to consider buying a “German” – the third generation Audi A6. What is good and bad about this car, read in our review.
Audi A6 was released in 2004. Then only Mercedes dominated the market for prestigious cars. But in 2005, at the Geneva Motor Show, the A6 was named “Car No. 1 in Europe.” Since then, the monopoly on “business” has been broken.
The interior of the “six” is so spacious that you can sit in the back seat with your legs crossed. It was this advantage of Audi for many businessmen and moneybags of the “zero” that became decisive when they bought a luxury car for those times.
Ground clearance for the business class is sufficient – 168 mm. This is enough for the city track in winter and comfortable parking at a low curb.
Over the years, “A6” lost in price and prestige. Now it is a large family car with a high level of comfort. It has a huge trunk – 546 liters, in which you can put three large suitcases and go on a long trip with your family. 2006 audi a6 for
In the A6 trim levels, there are diesel and gasoline engines with a volume of 2.0 to 4.2 liters with a takeoff run of 140 to 350 liters. with. When choosing a car, it is better to look at popular engines. And the choice is greater, and experts understand them better. The most popular of the gasoline on the “secondary” – 2.4 liters, 177 liters. s., and from diesel engines – 2.0 l, 140 l. with.
Crazy 4.2 liters for 350 “horses” are also on sale. But there are very few of them – only 19 out of 773 offers on Avto.ru. A car with such an “engine” consumes from 20 liters per 100 km in the city. But acceleration to “hundreds”, like a sports car, is 5.9 seconds. The most popular engine – 2.4 liters – consumes 14-16 liters in city mode and accelerates to 100 km / h in 8.9 seconds.
Gearboxes for engines are available in three versions:
The most reliable of them – “mechanics”. Even the clutch in it serves up to 150,000-200,000 km. In “automatic machines” the torque converter locking mechanism fails. Jerks are also possible when shifting gears and hard acceleration.
The most problematic is the CVT transmission. In it, after 80,000-100,000 km, the drive unit and the drive chain break. After 100,000 km, the wet clutch kit is damaged.
Half of all cars available on the secondary market are equipped with an all-wheel drive system. Torsen self-locking differential is responsible for it. It automatically distributes traction between the front and rear axles and adds stability to the car, as well as improves handling on slippery roads.
In the third generation, the car has radically changed its appearance. The radiator grille occupied the entire central part on the front bumper. There was only space left for the license plate frame.
The most exotic option is steering with a change in the steering ratio. It “weights” the steering wheel at high speed and helps to better control the car on the road.
In rich trim levels, you can find options such as a fully leather interior, a multifunction steering wheel, a heated steering wheel and rear seats, a 10-speaker BOSE audio system, multimedia with navigation, and keyless entry.
