My Top 3 after owning my C6 for a little over a year:


1) DSOM. When I first saw this color 8 years ago I fell in love and told myself if I ever bought a used C6 it would be this color! As luck would have it, I found one last year that had all the options and mileage I was looking for!


2) Instrument cluster. I LOVE the retro but modern look of the analog instrument cluster. I drive a good amount of time with my HUD turned off just so I can enjoy looking at the cluster!


3) Memory seats. I love the way the memory seats can be programmed for ease of exit and automatically adjust for your settings upon entry!

Actually; it works for 2 drivers. I set fob 1 to my normal driving driving position. On the door are 3 buttons ( 1, exit, and 2) I then set exit to move the seat all the way back and raise it up. I have a few medical issues and it makes it easier for me to get in and out. You program the exit button in the same manner as you do fob 1 and 2. When I shut off the engine or push the exit button; the seat moves to the exit position I set it to. My wife will not drive my cars but, she carries fob 2 with her so she can get into the car when we travel.

Also; a suggestion is to get 2 of those rubbery fob covers and buy 2 different colors to make it easy to between fobs 1 & 2 . My cover is gray to match the car color( fob1) and my wifes' (fob2) is red cause even after 44 years of marriage (this Christmas), I still think she's hot !

I don't blame you. That is a beautiful color!

Two out of three isn't bad.

Mine are: Z51, DSOM, and MN6. I wouldn't have even considered the car with an automatic.

2010 A6 Grand Sport
Favorite features:
1. LS3 Engine - 438 HP. What more do I need to say.
2. NPP Exhaust with Mild to Wild installed. With a simple push of a button, you go from quite serene cruising to a beautiful deep guttural sound that gets the attention of anyone within ear shot
3. 3LT Package. Provides most of the creature comforts needed.

Eleven years ago I was dazzled by the HUD, and captivated by the keyless entry/exit lock function.

So much so, that I bought a keyless entry system into my home, and I hate driving a car without a HUD.

Now, I'm spoiled.

My 2006 A6 Convertible

Without a doubt 1&2 are a tie.

I love the HUD for easy instant feedback on my speed/tach and also other readings. Wouldn't be without one.

I love the paddle shifter to effortlessly shift down for passing or immediate speed when needed in traffic, going in and powering out of curves, getting up to speed on on ramps. Just so many uses and keeps both hands on the wheel when you need too.

3rd Would probably be the power top. Just cool to be sitting in the car and be able to just push that button up or down.

So many other nice features to the 3lt. The only thing I miss is the Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust I put on my C5

My favorite about the C6 is the Grand Sport option. Just love the widebody look. The big tires & brakes are amazing & it looks badazz driving down the road, like an exotic car. The GS was the only reason I sold my C5 to move up. An added bonus is it's been trouble free for the 3 1/2 years of ownership..

1. Power convertible top
2. 3lt with navigation - most hate the navigation, but I use it on trips and it works well for me. Google Maps on the IPhone for backup, but I have never resorted to it.
3. HUD
4. Z51
5. Soon to be NPP...it's sitting in my garage waiting to be installed.
