Audi A6 Or Not?

[kgrates]

I am going to buy a ALL WHEEL drive sedan this spring, around mid May.
I have the field narrowed down to 4 cars:
1, The AUDI A6
2, The BMW 525 xi
3, Lexas GS
4, Chrysler 300c

So far the Audi is leading, when I started I was leaning very heavily at the BMW, but after driving both on the same day, I must admit I like the Audi better for 2 reasons. First the MMI is way better then the BMW I drive, Second it felt that the BMW had a "heavy" steeting wheel compared to the Audi which seamed lighter.

Was wondering what are the likes & dislikes with any of the cars listed above?
And is there anything I should be looking for in any of the cars listed above..?

Thanks

300c isnt that great, its just hype
the GS a good care
but the AUDI A6 looks better then all of those cars and AUDI been doin AWD longer then all those companies

Have to agree with AllWheelGrip. Audi has Quattro down like no other

I'd stay away from the 5 series. It made Forbes list (along with the 7 series) as the most unreliable cars. There were no Audis on that list. The Lexus is a nice car but still comes in second next to the A6. Go for the 4.2 engine if you can.

Frankly, everything I've read and all of the experts I've spoken to agree the Quattro system is about the best 4WD system available today.

I HATE my 2005 A6 3.2 right now. I just made a service appt this morning for 15K oil change, AND:
- radio comes on by itself
- clunks going down steep grade slowly in Sport mode
- poor sound quality picking up voice inside car over bluetooth phone (they've tried to fix once)
- can't delete items saved in NAVI

And just as I went out for lunch today, I turned on the radio and I get ear-splitting white noise. Same for the cell phone and navigation.

So now I can't use ANY of the MMI features (radio, CD, phone, navi)!!!!

$50K for a POS car!

I would recommend ANYTHING else at this point.
