When it comes to throwing down $50k on a car you probably want to know that your
car is fully capable of delivering on every single aspect. In this article we
look at the 2013 Audi A6 3.0T and see if it’s worth the money. The Audi A6 has
always been a sharp looking vehicle that was bread to compete against rivals
such as the BMW 5-Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Here is my take on the
Audi and that is you get a luxurious vehicle that has an underpowered yet
refined engine under its bonnet. Audi sits behind Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and BMW
in quality and has a hard time competing with other vehicles in this area but if
you are looking at one of these cars then you are more than likely looking at a
lease option so therefore don’t worry about it. If you are looking at actual
ownership of the Audi A6 I would hope that you plan to keep it forever and ever
as the depreciation will be severe and it could be a hard vehicle to get sold in
the future. The reason being is many individuals get scared when you mention
forced induction and 100k miles on the OD. Usually this is about the time when
bad things can happen but with this being a supercharger and not a turbo can
help out plus the engine is running at a low compression ratio of 10.3:1.
A down side to the Audi A6 is that the 3.0L Supercharged V6 is only producing
310hp but it is pumping 325 lb-ft or torque which is good for the Audi AWD
Quattro system. But you are now seeing normally aspirated Chevrolet V6’s
producing 323hp. So I think it’s time Audi step up the horsepower on this car
and give the customers a more spirited drive. Of course I complain about the
horsepower but this car is moving from 0-60 in just 5.3 seconds which is sport
car fast and says a lot for a 4045lb car. The vehicle is connected to an 8-speed
auto and gets you 28 mpg on the highway which is not bad for this big and heavy
of a car.
This looks to be a good car for someone that is looking to stray just a
little from the normal but I personally would only lease this vehicle instead of
going for a full-out purchase. If you want an AWD sedan that is worthy of
complete ownership then get a Limited Subaru Legacy. If you want to impress the
neighbors and co-workers then get this $50,000+ Audi A6.
