I totally agree with you. A6 is a piece of art. The qwuality is top notch. I am very tempted but it'll be a strach to afford it now. I'm waiting for the price to go down a bit. I could affor 2.0T but I hate that engine. It shouldn;t be on that class.
Why you sold yours?

I was a very active forum member at audiworld and most owners there are absolutely delighted with their cars. The consumer report listed A6 as the most reliable mid size luxury car in 2013. I know there is plenty of controversy here as many of you would say GS would top A6 in reliability department and you maybe right. The one thing that I can say that the powertrain in A6 is fantastic, silky smooth surge of instant power. Craftsmanship is top notch in all Audis. The glitches that I had were mostly related to electronics (e.g. back up camera, MMI freeze etc). No mechanical problems whatsoever.
Now I just wanted to comment about DRLs and turn signal issue as there is a little misunderstanding going on. The reason why DRLs turn off when turn signal is on IS NOT because of the lack of power but because it is designed this way. DRLs LEDs physically overlap with turn signal LEDs and they have different colors. So basically they are placed on the same LED strip and by design they cannot function at the same time (nor should they as this might seem a bit confusing to on coming traffic) but not by the lack of power. This is only true on the Audis that have DRLs and turn signal LEDs physically overlap.

Lexus Test Driver
Audi of America bought it back because my A6 turned out to be a lemon. Now many people here have this stereotypical opinion that most Audis are not reliable and it is no wonder I had a lemon.

My brother had an A4 and then an A6, and he had nothing but issues with the coil resistor packs and cat convertors on both models.
For one, the coil packs keep breaking, one after another and the dealership made him tow his car in each time the check engine light came on. It is beyond me why they didn't just replace them al.
Secondly, and I forget which model is what for but he kept having to replace cat convertor after convertor. I came to learn that his car had SEVEN of them. WYF? lol
