Default JD Powers puts Audi ABOVE the line in Initial Quality

I don't have the reference, but in terms of number of problems per 1000 cars, Audi is very close to BMW, and while not at the Toyota or Lexus level, is significantly above average. I think it amounts to 3 or 4 problems per vechicle, where a problem might be, e.g. the worse thing I've found in my May 01 A6 being an imperfect stitch in the leather of the passenger seat. And maybe a scratch that you can see only when the light hits the car the wrong way. So that would be counted as 2 problems...but compared to Jaguar S-Types with their wheel wobble and ride problems above 65 mph, or MB C class cars electronic failures...I'll take the loose stich!

Anyway, I thought I had to toss in some good news here! After all, I chose the A6 over MB, BMW and Jaguar, and I don't want to feel like I've been had! I'm ready for some more positive testimonials...right now, I can't wait to pick up my kids for the weekend and take them for a drive. They love this car too! (Though my wife says it's simply another of my expensive toys. Go figure!)

Enjoy your A6!
