I'm seeing Consumer Reports rates this car as unreliable. This has
caused me to slow down on a purchase I was about to make. Are there
any happy 2002 A6 3.0 Quattro owners out there? Looking for comments
about reliability of the car.

I am in thhe same boat. Is it reliable, and is it powerful enough-or
should I be looking at the 2.7 t?

As a current owner of three Audis and having owned several others, I
can tell you about Audis and their general reliability.

They ain't Toyotas. If you want Toyota or Honda reliability, buy one
of those.

The comments you've already received, in magazine format from other
owners, should tell you what you need to know. Compared to a Toyota,
the A6 is gonna have issues. Too many to live with? Too expensive to
live with?

I'd pay any price, suffer any consequence to avoid having to put up
with driving a snoremobile like a Toyota. Maybe you're not that
committed.

Heh.. I feel the same way. I survived a year bihind a wheel of an Accord,
driving which was literally putting me to sleep. And on top of that, it had
its fair share of issues as well (maybe because it was US-made, I don't
know). I moved onto an A4, and never looked back. I just wish I didn't
waste a year with the Accord.

Cheers,

Pete
