I bought the A6 with Prestige package, innovation package and 20" Sport package 3.0T. Aviator blue with brown leather interior. I have been out there with the best of them, BMW and Benz and beat them every single time. Not even close.

I am a BMW fan and owner (e92 335i), but hands down for new a6, front is just to sexy for this planet.

Audi is best

Audi the best

I've driven Audis for the past 10 years. I'll never buy another brand. If the Germans think Audi is the best of the 3 brands then they can't be wrong. Keep up the hard work Audi. Audi All the way!!!

these videos really become relevant now seven years later, while looking for a used car. I am thinking Audi. Bmw of this age, I don't know about the reliability. Never saw a brokedown audi, or vw for that matter

THANK YOU GERMANY I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING AUDI!!

Agree, love the A6

love Audi :x

Living in Malaysia, it will change. The A4 is bloody expensive here compared to its counterpart from BMW and Mercedes. I don't think it will change much for the A6. Still, I've seen like less than 10 A6 on the road but the BMW and Mercedes are everywhere on the street. That pretty much says it all. Nonetheless, all three of those are definitely a great car! What this video tells is just their opinion, your experience is what matters in your choice.

I love the A6 Avant. It's my workhorse. Dogs in the back, cutting through the mud, I've had no problems. It also does the Yorkshire - Cornwall drive to meet the family very comfortably. I don't care about acceleration times, the MPG is my priority.

i have this new Audi A6 3.0 and it is stunning. the style... the interior design.. the equipment levels is just miles ahead of the 5 Series and E class.. i tested all the models thoroughly and chose the Audi!!!!

Audi a6 best...looks better than BMW

Audi 4ever

Audi power the best !!!

Just traded my 2011 520d in for a 2013 3.0 tdi quattro A6 Avant. BMW was/is excellent but Audi just felt a bit more modern and I dreamt of 4WD. Would have been hard to fault a 535d X-drive but we can't get those in the UK. E class is a retiree's car, IMO, though it does look better since the recent facelift.

you got that right Just picked up A6 it is unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks

The BMWs 8speed automatic is perfect, with seamless shifting, amazing, and even it is a conventional automatic with a torque converter, it do not use more fuel than the manual version, 520d, and over 50 miles to gallon, amazing for a 1,8 ton car. Make sure you check the radar cruisecontrol on the option list, and the lane assist system, the best improvement on active safety for cars for many years.

What about the resale values. Do all brands keep the price equally as high?

@8150shaf, I was looking at the E350 4-Matic before I leased my A6, and I was let down. It's not as nice as the old E-class. The exterior styling looks like an Accord, which is nice for an Accord owner, but not for someone who expects a Mercedes to be a Mercedes. Also, the E-class depreciates the fastest of the 3 cars, which leads to worse lease rates and incentives. The A6 holds the most value over a 36/39 month time frame(usual lease time). The 350 also felt underpowered(compared to the 2).

@CalvinS63 Sure I would since the BMW badge is much more prestigious to me.

I love audi a lot. Seriously, maybe it's the top of these 3 brands, but honestly I'm tired of looking so many audi's on the road nowadays. I live in Curacao and it looks like they give these cars away for free

currently, i can't decide between the 5Series and the A6, though I've had my A4 for a while and it's been treating me quite well lol. German cars

Yep. It's more luxurious than the others. And since this is a midsize luxury sedan competition (not a midsize sport competition), I say it wins hands down.

audi - THE LEGEND OF FOUR RINGS.

Simplemente el Mercedes es de jefes !

i have the Mercedes any day

I would definitely go for the Mercedes. I love the ride etc. I like luxury.

Feedback: Its better to mention the model year in the title for all of your cars review videos. Thanks.

E-class is for comfort and luxury and bussnies stuff +30 y/o Audi is the best at performance and FUN !! 3.0 diesel makes almost 9L/100 at 250 km/h consumption BMW 5 is good for fun if you wanna play with the back traction ;)

Audis are great! just gotta be careful of the carbon deposit in the TSFI engines and ignition problem, which i am experiencing now with my 2008 A6 3.2 Quattro

The quality of the interior is best on the Audi, closely followed by BMW and Mercedes. I think the BMW is the most comfortable of the two, BMW and Audi, that said, the BMW still has the sport feel BMW is known for. I lean to the BMW, even I know Audi is the best car for Norwegian winters.

I will own this vehicle in the near future. I feel as though I already have it. WOW!!

BMW has 50/50% weight distrubution between front and rear now, and with traction control and good winter-tires, they are much better on snow and ice than older models, but frontwheel drive is still better on snow and ice. The option list is long, and with lots of expensive toys. The satnavigation on the Audi A6 is obcenely priced, the Plus version costing a whopping 3000£ or more, without more functionality of systems costing 1/3 the price, checking boxes on the option list can be very costly.

a cool rendez-vious impression

@CalvinS63 you're right

all 3 are very nice cars ...but I don't know why the BMW is the car for me

what yall think about Jaguars?

That's why you see so many more old golfs and A4s driving around than same year BMW and mercs.

But why you didn't took E350 CGI? :) 215KW, 6.3 sec 0-100(officialy and RaceLogic approves it, even was 6.1 few times., fuel consump.: 8.6 liters. When I bought a W212, I looked at A6 and F10, so I didn't found what I want in them, most stupidly is to tell whats BETTER in your opinion, good luck ;)

@JoeCaliforniah i agree with you....

BMW for me.

how mach HP are 200KW?

i had a bmw (e39) and now a w212 e class. from my experience, the BMW was more fun to drive but bumpy and unbalanced. My Mercedes has awesome comfort but drives slow :(

why did they use the old 350 engine?

Audi too zippy!? It's pretty sad when it out performs the BMW that you feel the need to say it's a bad thing

BMW and Audi: Sportier, more modern, more youthful, more involved. Mercedes: Solid cruiser, more conservative & isolated. A cruiser amongst sport sedans. Not a bad thing.

1. BMW 2. Audi 3. Mercedes

Mercedes all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

All the three cars are excellent, the only difference is the individual CHOICE & PREFERENCE.

@e39black540, Shows how much you know about the new BMW 5-Series vs. the new A6. The A6 trumps it in nearly every category, including handling!

@8150shaf I don't want "power" from an AMG model, I just didn't want a slug - which is what the E350 is when compared to the A6 v6 or 535xi. Besides, you can't even get an AMG in awd. If I wanted that much power, there's the M or RS models, which are way better at handling the power they have.

In terms of sales, I guess BMW is on top only for one reason: they have so many different segments filled which ultimately results in all BMW's being the same. The A1 is a premium car - for it's class. Meaning more so than a Mini, Fiat 500 etc, etc.. Choice? A1 (3dr, 5dr), A3 S3 RS3 (3dr, 5dr, Conv) A4 S4 RS4 (4dr, 5dr, conv, all-road) A5 S5 RS5 (2dr, 5 dr, conv) A6 S6 RS6 (4dr, 5dr) A7 S7 (5dr) A8 S8 (4dr) Q3, Q5, Q7, TT TTS TTRS (2dr, Conv) R8 V8 R8 V10 R8 GT (2dr, Conv). Lots to choose from.

MERCEDES

everyone starts to like audi now lol

E Class - Golf Players 5 Series - Golf Players in next 5-10 years A6 - WTF is Golf???

Audi, The Awesome!

I've been thinking about our conversation and I must say, that in the end we are both right . BMW Mercedes and Audi are really great brands . They are totally different between each other but thats the good thing ! Imagine everyone driving the same car THAT would be bullshit ! I think it's very nice to write with someone on the internet without getting the all so known insulting that you can get here nowadays :D You're a cool dude :D

Lucky you...

half of the world hands down already

AUDI !!

At first when E-Class came out in 2008 - I was like - what??! Then I bought one in 2011 E350 CDI 4matic, it is simply the best car. So reliable. I now have 70,000km on it - but I know it will go over 250k without any problems.

I never thought I would see the day that Audi is number one....oh well...I want one.

audi quattro beast

@iggibars I admit that the 5 series is extremely elegant, but I also agree that the Audi is simple and elegant. However I like Mercedes the most (Just bringing another side to the argument ;D). I like the E Class because it has elegance in its design and also has a rich feel when you look at it. Whereas the A6 is simplistic, a bit too much for me.

"When I go to Germany" agains me who lives in Germany. Open up your eyes and you will see WAY more old people driving Merc's than "rich young ones" Example : Profs at the University I go to : The older ones drive Mercedes the young Prof all drive Porsche BMW Audi etc. Only exception for Merc drivers are foreigners living here :P And my eyesight is very very good btw ;)

Audi A6 it is!

so it's a what's cheapest competition?

@CalvinS63 Everything. BMW offers the best combination of comfort, luxury and performance unlike the others as well as the best driving dynamics and handling within its class. And reliability is at the top. Hence BMW's market leadership. Your opinion is just your subjective one. So live with it.

The BMW is twin scroll not twin-turbo kids

BMW the sporty power machine ! Benze for Luxurious premium comfortable ride ! Audi the young economic. But BMW stands first for me !!

I agent even seen a single review or compare where this new a6 has lost to its other two main rivals. Now I wish I had got this as opposed to my f10 530d!!

Deutsche Autos über alles!

Audi is The BEst :) I have A4 it is great car but my next car will be Q7

i totally agree about BMW's interior

I have an a6 and a 5seriese

and yes it is worldwide.

Audi, no doubt!

merc is king audi is like passat with oder badge a bmw like 3 serius just they litle strech merc looks awesome

AUDI FTW

Oh ok fair enough, obviously they are not only restricted to the more older customers. Young people do drive them as well! What brand do you prefer?

@iggibars For Audi there is no RS model available yet. And yes the M5 is faster and better at handling than the AMG. But overall luxury, comfort and everything I will take the E-Class. I also think the design preference comes down to personal likes. However the E-Class is selling the best out of the three.

at this price bracket, you have to buy what emotionally excites.....

I would definately take the BMW! no doubt

@dufferego87 I know its a shame. I was pissed when the current RS6 with the V10 twin-turbo didnt make it here....fastest production Audi ever made

I strongly believe that the E-Class should have been the easy winner in this comparison.

sorry but I can't stand Audi's small, medium, and large design approach. Barring the massive dimensions of the A8, you can't tell an A4 and A6 apart at first glance... or second or third for that matter. Only car enthusiasts can spot the subtle differences. And it won't be so bad if the design itself was eye catching, but I find them to be way too plain and boring. BMWs aren't special enough for my liking. They pass off as being premium, rather than luxury... in other words, business class versus first class. For my money it's Mercedes which has unique designs for each models, are luxurious to ride in and drive, and has the most brand pedigree.

audi v6 forever!

Audi = Awesome, unique, delicious, ibelieve

BMW love their cars :D !!!

@CalvinS63 That's why BMW is the clear leader of the premium market in terms of sales. And that is even when Audi considers its USD20,000 A1 a premium one when it's not. So it's Audi which is far behind both in prestige and choice.

Simplemente el mercedes, la gente nunca se confunde que carro traes por el nivel de lujo y refinamiento además que en curvas nadie le gana

When the battery life is mature, cost is down and buyer numbers are up, these big shots will flood into that market

@CalvinS63 Ask those buyers who choose BMW over Audi and thus making BMW the undisputed leader in the premium segment.

hi supper car Audi car

@dufferego87 3.7?!?!?! no way i cant see a big huge sedan like that getting to 60 in the amount of time an R8 V10 can. Every review i saw was 0-60 4.4 which is still insane for a huge car like that

Not a chance :)

I like 5 series

Like all electronics, when the newer, MUCH better ones come along in a couple years, you'll regret you bought it at such an early time.
