Test drive Audi A6 2005 - 2008 sedan

The path with Itrip

Audi confidently becomes a machine of managers of various links. She replaces the E-class as an option of a more inventive attitude to life. And people who did not want them to associate with other top stamps willingly take this opportunity. I go to Audi - it means that I am serious, but not pathos. Not poor, but not Abramovich. And I read several books, I know the joy of a printed word. Exactly so as not to annoy the general director of your enterprise.
The golden Ingolstadt vehicle has been on the roads of Moscow for the eighth thousand kilometers. The roads of our cars are more unpleasant than pleasant sensations. And even such a harmonious suspension as an A6 will not save from misfortunes. For example, if the road has not been repaired for a long time, then it is bad to ride it. If you have just been repaired, then you are guaranteed traces of bitumen on wings. It is unpleasant to catch bitumen by a car at a price of over sixty thousand. In order not to think about how Moscow roads kill expensive cars and for this we still pay transport tax to people who are already distraught from left -wing money and Rublevsky cottages, we turn on the music. If last month we tried what it is - to ride with the iPod and listen to it through the ITRIP radio transfers, now it is now clear that you will have to return to more conventional methods for listening to the new Nine Inch Nails album. That is, with CD through CD-changer. Audi car class can clearly be traced in the sound class that is installed on this model. So, our autopilot budget office Audi A6 2.4 with a variator and front -wheel drive has sound equipment distinguishable by a different quality than A6 3.0. Indeed, with the panels depicting the Karelian birch, it would be ridiculous to have a cheap sound. But, nevertheless, it does not indicate anywhere in the car that this is a device from Bose. At the same time, this fact was emphasized on Allroad in every possible way, and, in general, the best of the complete audio systems is on Allroad.
The CD chamber on the new Audi is located in the glove compartment. Deep. And it seems to us that this is the essence of the deepest plan of the Ingolstadist craftsmen - it is very difficult for the driver to manipulate himself with Ceiner and discs. AND, therefore, along the way this is generally dangerous and unrealistic. Therefore, people will start to refuel their sidyuki in the parking lot. Or this will do a passenger. The disks climb here 6 pieces. True, the boxes in the glove compartment climbs a little less. For other boxes from CD, you need to look for a place. Also a trifle is also. But maybe only the Russian Melomanus sees a conspiracy in everything?
But the light salon with no less bright skin of the seats finally entered the complete harmony with Moscow weather. At a temperature of 28 and the total sun, such a color helps to survive the bead best. It is only a pity that this does not last so long. For the winter you will have to transplant to Q7.
