i had no idea they made A5's in 98

 

they didnt, its a typo haha. It was an a4.

 

ive only heard of oil burning problems and timing belt issues with audis and that leaning more on the turbo models.

overall would you recomend a - lets say 99-2000 a6- for a daily driver / long trips on highway?

i need to get me somthing nice to drive soon! lol.

im looking at the a6's, bmw 5's and mercedes but i like the a6 body its clean =)

 

It not a lemon -- It's a German automobile.

Never had an oil burning issue and always changed the timiong belt before there was a problem. Expect electrical and bushing issues.

As for long trips -- that's what Audi's do well. I drive 100 miles a day (50 each way) and the Audi means My butt dosen't get sore. I tried it in a Fierro ( almost killed me) Hyundai Sonata (my back will never recover) and a few others that I want to forget. Nothing compared to the Audi for comfort.

 

if your burning oil check your head gaskets.
