Bankers. This is the sort of people whom we expect to see behind the wheel of Audi. Or lawyers. People standing firmly on its feet. I'm sure you'll agree. The problem is that they are a little bit boring and bothersome. In this issue, and Audi. Because with each new model, Audi is trying to add leadership to a few additional new features sports. The most obvious attempt at this is the new common front car. First shown on Nuvolari concept metal grille on the front of the car found a continuation of its existence, the new A8, A3 and models next year - A4. In our opinion, best of all it is represented on the A6. Although Audi - more car for conservative people, there is no doubt that the company hopes to sell to those who irritate the new BMW 5-series. Inside, the central panel at an angle in a way that was previously used in the BMW. However, the quality of materials - high, and finish, made by the metal-metal really. Despite this strong moments, there are several minor weaknesses - switches on the top look cheap and fragile, like the console stand, and none of the many buttons are not emphasized in the interior and we can say that these buttons are only tactile. Intuitively, you can not figure out what features are responsible for each button. Only a button click can help you determine what you need it. We thought that the idea of ??systems Audi MMI and BMW iDrive is needed to get rid of pletormy buttons and switches. However, when we see about 15 buttons on MMI - how can we think about simplifying the management? Around the central dial has 4 adjacent buttons that correspond to the options presented in the corners. In addition, there are buttons for navigation, radio, CD, telephone, etc., which can easily switch from one menu to another. We do not really like a system which does not allow user-experience destination buttons and switches, we prefer a system with a touchscreen, which offer us a Lexus and Jaguar. Space in the cabin to the rear seats quite a lot. On the driver's seat, settled for my height of 193 cm, I felt fairly comfortable. Internal headroom - plenty for a tall person like me. The trunk has a capacity of about 546 liters, which may increase due to the rear folding seats - a rare feature for cars. For the test we chose the A6 TDI with an engine capacity of 3.0 liters. V6-engine uses dual air coolers, variable geometry turbocharger and a piezo-injectors capable of producing 225 hp on tractor fuel. In motion, the engine power delivery is surprisingly quick. The changes made in transmission with manual control, activated by paddles, take place with little delay, the system is equipped with plenty of "smart" means. The system includes a higher gear at a red light - but not before - and includes a lower gear when you reach the traffic lights, even if it's enough torque to drive without stopping at almost every transmission. If the engine and transmission meet the requirements of the sports car, what about the chassis frame? Unfortunately, we can not please. The system performs the lean operation suspension at low speeds - you and your passengers can feel the shaking, even for minor irregularities of the road. Steering besfunktsionalno enough, with unimportant response. It is convenient to park the car but the driver left with a clear sense of remoteness from the action. A6 3.0 TDI - a lot more expensive than the BMW 530d SE. Standard equipment includes power mirrors and windows, CD player, climate control and cruise control, quad-wheel drive system, traction control, airbags, ABS, EBD, ESP, automatic headlights, sensory-sensitive raincoats, MMI Basic system Plus, the wheels of a 7-spokes. We've added electric sports front seats upholstered in leather Alcantara, a sound system for car parking (front and rear), folding door mirrors, electrically adjustable steering column, DVD-based navigation satellit. As you can see for yourself, there are many additional components that are necessary for convenience, but not included in the standard New Audi A6 has the right salon. It is slightly more expensive than the related models, but presented in a more appropriate high-quality video. Easy to control speed tiptronic quite in harmony with the new diesel engine of 3.0 liters. In the VW Group are working to master the perception of quality. Applying finishing materials and soft silicone cushioned handles, and buyers are hoping that the same attention paid to quality and hidden from the human eye to other parts of the car. Our verdict: The new grille is best represented in the model A6. Luggage compartment - perfect. The quality of the interior - the ordinary (good but not that great). The new 3-liter diesel - an excellent choice of Audi and blends well with the 6-speed tiptronic and quattro all-wheel drive system. However, all this against the scarcity of steering and suspension systems. The level of driving at low speeds is bad enough, the steering control - still boring. testdriven.co.uk
