Road Test: Audi A6 3.{0|Zero} TFSI Quattro: Sexy {Good looks|Attractiveness|Beauty}, Unsurpassed Comfort And Safety




I抳e {got|acquired|bought|obtained|received} a confession to make. I like {big|huge|large|massive} {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. I {mean|imply}, {I really|I actually} like {big|huge|large|massive} {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. Small {cars|automobiles|vehicles} are {quick|fast}, nimble, {fun|enjoyable} to drive, {and so on|and so forth}, {but|however} there抯 nothing like taking {a long|a protracted|an extended} drive in a {really nice|very nice}, {comfortable|comfy|snug}, roomy, luxurious, {big|huge|large|massive} and {powerful|highly effective} {car|automobile|automotive}. The Audi A6 {happens|occurs} to be {exactly|precisely} all of {those|these} {things|issues}, and {more|extra}. The A6 doesn抰 {really|actually} look {big|huge|large|massive} sitting by itself. The proportions of the {body|physique} are {perfect|excellent|good}, and if {anything|something}, it {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} {like it|prefer it} {might be|could be|is likely to be|is perhaps|may be} {only|solely} {slightly|barely} {larger|bigger} than A4. The {nose|nostril} is a bit deeper than that of an A4, the grille a bit taller. The {body|physique} {lines|strains|traces} {are not|are usually not|aren't|should not|usually are not|will not be} {quite|fairly} as flamboyant, the A6 is {much more|far more|rather more|way more} {subtle|delicate|refined}, {more|extra} elegant, visually masking the true {size|dimension|measurement} of the {car|automobile|automotive}. Since our {car|automobile|automotive} had the {optional|elective|non-compulsory|non-obligatory|optionally available} {sports|sports activities} suspension and 19 inch wheel packages, it took on an aggressive stance {which gives|which provides|which supplies} it a muscular {appearance|look}, {transforming|remodeling|reworking} the A6 {somewhat|considerably}. It doesn抰 lose any of its {luxury|luxurious} feeling, {while|whereas} it {gains|beneficial properties|features|good points|positive aspects|positive factors} {the look and feel|the appear and feel|the feel and appear} of a {sports|sports activities} sedan.





The LEDs {in the|within the} headlights {of course|after all|in fact} helped, as did the {dark|darkish} {color|coloration|colour|shade}. We {hard|arduous|exhausting|laborious|onerous} pressed {to find|to search out|to seek out} fault with {the overall|the general} look of the {car|automobile|automotive}, {everything|all the pieces|all the things|every little thing|every part|every thing|the whole lot} {just|simply} {seems|appears} {correct|appropriate|right}. {This is not|This isn't} a {car|automobile|automotive} that screams 搇ook at me?{though|although}. {We find|We discover} that with smaller wheels it loses {some of|a few of} its sporty look, and {becomes|turns into} stealthier. Inside is {where|the place} {big|huge|large|massive} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} rule over smaller {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. {No one|Nobody} {wants|desires|needs} to {have to|must|need to|should} fold and cram themselves {into a|right into a} tiny {car|automobile|automotive}, with tiny uncomfortable seats, and nothing {to look at|to have a look at|to take a look at} or play with {once|as soon as} there. {Even though|Although|Despite the fact that|Regardless that|Though} the A6抯 {interior|inside} design is now 5 years {old|outdated|previous}, it {still|nonetheless} {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} very {fresh|contemporary|recent} and {modern|fashionable|trendy}. We love the A6 {dash|sprint}. The {instruments|devices} {are not|are usually not|aren't|should not|usually are not|will not be} buried deep in a binnacle, {instead|as a substitute|as an alternative} {they are|they're} very {much|a lot} {front|entrance} and {center|heart|middle}, {essentially|basically|primarily} flush with {the same|the identical} {plane|aircraft|airplane} {as the|because the} MMI {display|show} {screen|display|display screen}. The driver {information|data|info} {screen|display|display screen}, which is {located|positioned|situated} between the speedometer and the tachometer is in {color|coloration|colour|shade} when the Navigation is fitted to the {car|automobile|automotive} ({as opposed to|versus} LCD), and {is very|could be very|may be very} clear. {The center|The middle} console is the piece de resistance of the {interior|inside}.





{This is|That is} {the original|the unique} {layout|format|structure} of Audi抯 MMI system, {though|although} {updated|up to date} with the {3rd|third} Generation joystick atop {the main|the primary|the principle} command dial, which {allows|permits} scrolling {about the|concerning the|in regards to the} navigation system抯 map to {locate|find} stopover {points|factors}, {points|factors} of {interest|curiosity}, and {more|extra}. MMI is a masterpiece {control|management} interface combining the {functions|capabilities|features} of Navigation, audio, {telephone|phone}, {various|numerous|varied} and sundry {car|automobile|automotive} {related|associated} {items|gadgets|objects} {such as|akin to|comparable to|corresponding to|equivalent to|reminiscent of|resembling|similar to} exterior lighting {options|choices}, service indicators, {and so on|and so forth}. It {seems|appears} {somehow|by some means|in some way|one way or the other|someway} {more|extra} elegant {in the|within the} A6 than {in the|within the} A4/A5/Q5, given the lovely arched {wooden|picket|wood} trim plate, {but|however} it抯 identically intuitive and {useful|helpful}. Our {car|automobile|automotive} was {equipped|geared up|outfitted} with the {incredibly|extremely} cool Audi Advanced Key, which {allows|permits} the driver {to keep|to maintain} {the key|the important thing} in pocket or purse, and {simply|merely} press the Engine Start button {to start|to begin|to start out} the {car|automobile|automotive}. {Given that|On condition that|Provided that} {this is|that is} {the first|the primary} {generation|era|technology} Intelligent Key, the A6 has a separate button to then {stop|cease} the engine, {and also|and in addition|and likewise} lock the steering.





{The key|The important thing} {is still|continues to be|remains to be} of the flip-out {variety|selection}, {which means|which implies|which suggests} {there is|there may be|there's} {a standard|a normal|a regular|a typical|an ordinary} {type|kind|sort} ignition {switch|change|swap} on the {dash|sprint}. On {cars|automobiles|vehicles} with the Advanced Key, {each|every} of the exterior door handles is fitted with a small rubber coated button, which tucks {underneath|beneath} and is {nearly|almost|practically} invisible. A {simple|easy} {tap|faucet} of that button with the Advanced Key in your pocket will {cause|trigger} the {car|automobile|automotive} to lock up. All it takes to get {back|again} in is give a tug of {one of the|one of many} handles. Honestly, {this is|that is} {one of|certainly one of|considered one of|one among|one in all|one in every of} {our favorite|our favourite} {features|options} of the newer Audis. Once {within the|inside the|throughout the} spacious confines of the A6 cabin, occupants are coddled by {some of|a few of} {the finest|the best} seats {in the|within the} {business|enterprise}. It抯 {quite|fairly} {possible|attainable|doable|potential} to {become|change into|develop into|grow to be|turn into|turn out to be} {completely|fully|utterly} {comfortable|comfy|snug} in seconds {thanks to|because of|due to} the 12 {way|approach|manner|means|method} adjustable {leather|leather-based} seats. The {leather|leather-based} is supple, {but|however} not too {soft|comfortable|delicate|gentle|mushy|smooth|tender} or {thin|skinny} feeling. Drivers and passengers will {find|discover} leg, head, hip, shoulder, knee room in abundance.
