Test drive Audi A6 2005 - 2008 sedan

On the verge of seasons

By May, we will summarize some of the driving results on our editorial A6 2.4. Of course, the variator is an amazing invention of mankind. Switching speeds without shocks and jerks to seven virtual positions brings smoothness and strange sensations to the car. If you turn on the sports regime or pseudo -addual, then the data that you will offer the display will be quite discrete - the first, second, third and so on speeds. But this is only the visibility of one.
Actually, it is called the correctly clinical variator and the main role in it is played by a flat chain from LUK, which will work longer than the car itself. Another thing is that it is put on cars not too powerful - as in our case with a 2.4 -liter engine. And most importantly, in this scenario, the main Audi pitch has gone from the structure-Quattro drive.
The ending of the winter was surprisingly vile and city services, as always, could not cope with their duties, so that we cautiously left on the highway, generously sprinkled with snow and icy like Chelyuskin. Nevertheless, the front -wheel drive suddenly began to behave in conjunction with Traction Control as a worthy replacement of 4x4. As soon as the car went into the skid, it almost immediately pulled out automation back to safety. For comparison, we took A6 Quattro with an engine 3.0.
From a hundred kilometers to two, we tried to drive around the city and on suburban routes without much loads, after yielding a little bit in the cabin, the smell of still unnecessary parts and mechanisms. After 2000 km, you can already slightly promote the engine and give the heat to some presumptuous Mercedes. Although you will not manage to butt with the Bavarian five yet. A6 is still a car for normal people. We travel so calmly that even in traffic jams we manage to watch news on the on -board TV. The signal, however, is sometimes not very - with interference, and during movement it is cut down. Time to watch GPS, which is still not installed on a car officially supplied to Russia. Well, if not GPS, then at least GSM. This car is on the Simenes onboard phone. The utilitarianism of this apparatus remained unclear - if you rearrange the SIM card each time, you are simply tortured. Although according to the expert of the autopilot in the field of high technology, Bi-Line promised to establish the production of double SIM cards with the same number for installation in expensive cars. At the same time, the last activated map turns off the previous one, in this case, when turning the ignition key.
Speaking of ignition, in the media passed the story about how the Dzhigits from a dark aul was stolen from the Audi A6 store of a girl - the engine was included in the parking lot. After a couple of meters, she stalled and took the dzhigits. The system with contactless ignition sometimes plays a bad joke with uncouth conocraces. All new A6 are equipped with this key, regardless of the drive and size of the engine.
For more Fun, as our friends from California say, we took a beige car Dakkar - such a car looks much more fun on the streets and pages. True, together with him we received all other pleasures: the upholstery of the seats Volterra, the color-beige, the panel of the instrument-beige, rugs-beige, upholstery of the ceiling-beige. This means that, climbing inside, you carry with you all the dirt of Moscow administration and your rugs can already be cleaned in just two days. Friends tell us solutions - owners of Porsche Cayenne with the same beige salon. The user under the nickname Maxim has been using disposable diapers for a year now, with which he protects his pet from the mud of his hometown.
