Audi A6 3.0T Review (C7) | Supercharged Heart

This 2012 3.0T represents the first year of the C7 generation of Audi A6. Armed with the supercharged V6 found in the B8 S4, and the excellent ZF eight speed automatic, and a wealth of new features; this A6 is a serious performance sedan, even eight years later.

Had mine for 5 years. APR dual pulley 400+ at the wheels and currently at 109K miles and climbing. This is usually the end of a ownership period for me but I don't see much to replace it for the value currently. For now, I'm staying put. I have three other different vehicles for different driving purposes or experiences but the C7A6 remains my family sedan of choice for my dollar. Understated style, great all weather performance, still decent tech, quality build and mine has been rock solid reliable with basic preventative maintenance.

I’ve had my 2017 A6 competition s-line since new. The best sedan I’ve ever had. It’s amazing in our 🇨🇦 winters. Routine maintenance and nothing else. I purchased the extended warranty as I’m keeping this car long term, it’s that good.

I bought a 2012 A6 3.0T over a month ago and this video was one of the reasons I got it. I was close to getting a 2013 Audi A4/VR6 VW CC but after issues with a dealer we went with a gorgeous moonlight blue mettallic 2012 A6 3.0T premium plus S-line with the brown interior and 97K miles from a private seller for $11K and I've been loving it so far. It's the first car of my own, previously driving a 2007 Camry hybrid family car. It's faster than I need it to be and my only gripes are the underwhelming audio system, ~21MPG with premium (I came from 30+mpg with regular), and the car telling me one of the rear taillight indicators is out (even though I've checked and they all work).

It was this video among a few others that got the ball rolling on looking for an A6 and I wanted to thank you for it.

Still an amazing car even today!! Not too many luxury repairs compared to similar competitors. It’s worth every penny after massive luxury depreciation. There aren’t many sedans that compare to the C7 3.0T twins.

Wow, the quality of these videos is amazing man. Keep up the amazing work, a lot of good information, for anyone whos willing to listen it's actually really well put together. It definitely deserves more recognition than these annoying youtube reviewers.

Just got a 2012 A6 Prestige and it is the BOMB! It’s fun and luxurious and had a car back exhaust already knit so it screams and flys in sport mode. Love it!

The BEST car I have owned hands down. I ended up selling last year because I needed a 3 row SUV. I miss the A6 and at some point will buy one again. The car drove so well and with such quality and precision

[andytrinh]

I had one from 2017-2021. Miss it so much. One of my favorite cars i’ve ever owned.

This video made and helped me with the buying process for my 12 A6 3.0T. thank you very, very much

[tarekbash]

Just discovering this channel, this production quality is phenomenal. Very nicely done

For those shopping for C7/C7.5 you may want to consider the ultimate factory developed A6. That is the A6 'competition" trim level that is exclusive to 2017 model year. Prices today are half what they where when purchased new. This car starts as a fully loaded 'prestige' trim and then Audi adds S6 goodies. Sport rear differential, a wee bit of added HP, sport seating with diamond stitching, red brake calipers (I don't care much for as everyone offers them now). Essentially it is an A6 with every option possible with added S6 performance.
Imagine this car with an APR tune, AWE exhaust.

DUDE....tell me why i was talking about the A6 literally last week & this video pops up in my Recommended lol 👀

[cyrillx]

This video helped me buy my 2013 A6 3.0t hehe I love it thanks man it’s even the same interior

[jtbpickles]

I always thought the headrests were set too far forward. Had the car nearly a year now and thanks to 5.35minute mark or so I can now adjust them back! Thanks!

Bought my ‘15 Audi a6 3.0t Prestige back in 2021. Recently had to change the motor mounts but I haven’t had any major problems since. I absolutely love my car. :)

[luiscazares]
