The A6 is larger than the competition and has a larger rear cargo area as a result. This car allows the driver to be as involved or as uninvolved as the driver chooses (within reason).

 Life Style

The A6 provides all the luxuries that have come to be expected from the executive class vehicles and more. This Audi will have no trouble competing with other name brand giants in its class. Good steering and other amenities make it an ideal car to drive for long distances. The cars sleek important look is also very appealing. The A6 might appeal to the family who needs to show up somewhere in class, but would not be very suitable for carpooling cheerleaders and the soccer team. The A6 is a sophisticated adult-oriented vehicle and is not designed to withstand the challenges that children present.
