Audi A6 review

Best to drive ,when you drive this car people look around back the car is an beautiful machine but maintenance cost is vary high, because of this people are not interested in this the company have to decrease the maintenance cost

Luxurious sportiness

Not buying but driving the amazing car feels like luxurious sportiness. I achieved 250 km/h in a few minutes with amazing performances with a luxurious interior, looks quite good but not so sporty. Maintenance is a little bit higher in this segment and maintaining the car is properly heavy The negative thing is absolutely ground clearance on Indian roads diesel engine noise is coming into the cabin of the car.
