a6 vs 535i
Idk but this video is complete bullshit to me. The a6 is no way that much faster than the bmw. I think these guys are hired by audi to give this review. I looked up 0-60 stats and the a6 goes 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. and the 535i goes 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. Not much difference but still something. The way the guy in the bmw started off was just stupid to me. (4:03)

Who cares if the A6 is faster 0-60? An Audi will always be a Volkswagen

wtf? who the hell sits on the hood of a beautiful BMW like that?? I shudder to think what happened if that dude had those tiny buttons on his Wranglers
Oh, and design wise the Audi A6 could never hold a candle to the F10 (imo) |

I currently own an 2012 A6 and have driven the 535xi a few time and I can tell you guys that what you see in that video is possible. The A6 feels so much lighter when taking off, no lag like the 535xi. The BMW feels more solid but drives heavier as well. I think some of you guys have seen this article, motor trend has the A6 from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and the 535i in 5.5 sec, the 535i x-drive will be even slower than that.

How is that possible? A6 is quicker than the S4 now? Doubt it.
The S4 is slightly quicker than the 335 so safe to assume the A6 is slightly quicker than the 535. The idiots in this "test" have no idea what they are doing or purposely made the A6 look better. There is a reason nobody else does a drag race like this.... Here's a legit test of the A6 doing 0-60 in 5.4secs.. Alan

i love how the A6 looks on the outside...not a fan of the interior. Not that it isn't nice but bmw's style suits me more. I plan on getting a new car soon and the A6 is my #2 choice.
That review just grossly favors the Audi and its obvious. If it was really THAT good every magazine would feel the same way. Both great cars...just a dumb review.

It’s not just that review above that favor Audi performance wise, almost every professional review said the same, motor trend, car and driver, etc. Both are great cars definitely, the Audi feels younger, more lively and begging to be push, the 535xi feel more solid, relax, heavy and has to be motivated to go fast. |

Nope no joke, must be my superior driving skills and being knowledgeable about operating my 535i... So you are telling me that you believe every review you read? |

Hate the video review, but having driven 535i and A6 back to back, two weekends in a row, in reversed order (535i then A6, A6 then 535i), I definitely agree with the sentiment that the A6 is faster and more nimble feeling of the two.
Still trying to make my mind up on my purchase, but that's another thread. |

I think the 535i has become the car of choice for middle age guys like me. The A6 seemed like a really nice car but a bit too much in your face. The Benz e350 was just too boring. The 535i was just right...hence the goldilocks moniker given to it by one car magazine. |

I traded my CLS, which is faster than the 535, 550 and the A6, for the 528 and it's not bothering me at all. I miss the power and speed sometimes but not to the point where I choose a car over another because of it. All my previous cars were fast BMWs and Mercedes. Mercedes for luxury and BMW for handling and recently technology, never considered anything else. Im definitely over speed and enjoying some ticket free time. One more thing, if you have speed in mind I doubt an A6 would do it for you.
