Vehicle Description
1995 Audi S6 Sedan
Audis were different by design and execution. Mercedes chased
luxury and prestige, while BMW chased driving performance and
character. The four-ringed wonders landed somewhere in the middle.
Audis were fun to drive, but their mainline cars were not deemed as
entertaining or quick as the equivalent BMW. Audi exteriors were
handsome and their interiors ultimately became gorgeous, putting
them on par with - or even a little ahead of - Mercedes and BMW.
Reliability, build quality, and longevity were hit or miss compared
to Mercedes, and lagged even behind BMW's first forays into
computer-designed plastic mobility.
For consignment, an S6 which means it has all the comforts and
accents as an A6 but uses sportier suspension, larger alloy wheels,
all leather sports seats, a more aggressive front grille, daytime
running lights and improved infotainment. Since our consignor did
not provide much information, this report will be "just the facts
ma'am".
Exterior
Pearl white paint covers aero steel and neoprene with a black
trimmed lower around the entire bottom of the car. The headlights
are clear and parking and signal lighting wraps around the sides.
Black trimmings for the glass and a sunroof are seen. 4 doors and a
rounded off rear with large wrap around tail lighting and another
white pearl neoprene bumper bring up the back. Should I say a 4
ring circus, albeit a serious performing one.
Interior
Bone tan molded plastic and vinyl materials make up the snazzy door
panels that use black uppers and black toggle panels as accenting.
In the lower storage area of the doors is the seat adjustment
panel. Inside, those seats are bone leather with tuck and roll
inserts and smooth bolsters, and are high back with built in
headrest form. A center console races through them and this has a
glovebox/armrest and the shifter. As it rises to the dash we see
some walnut veneer, (perhaps from ze blek fulrest?! Cuckoo clocks
start there too, but I digress). A digital high end stereo with
plenty of adjustments is first in line on the rise then we get into
the many toggles for airflow and defrosting glass and upward to
some vents for said air. Round white faces gauges reside under a
swooping slowly descending dash top all in basic black. The factory
Audi wheel fronts the dash. In back is a nice sporty 2 plus 2 bench
but offering up plenty of room not like its American counterparts.
Also in leather and bone, (tan). Tan clean carpeting covers the
floors and black rubber mats protect the carpeting. The headliner
is bone color felting and I see the sun-roof when the covering is
slid inside the roofline. It appears as though the upper small
lighting and sunglasses storage console in the roof needs gaffers
tape to stay up there.
Drivetrain
Within the engine bay which remains clean I spy a 2.2L Turbo I-5,
yes, you heard me correctly, an I-5. It sports EFI and a 5-speed
manual transmission is on back with 4.11 front and rear geared
axles.
Undercarriage
Pretty much like new underneath as the Germans love to cover
everything for airflow and this car is no exception. Independent
Macpherson struts are in front, with the rack and pinion uber
responsive steering. In back are independent coil springs with
power disc braking on all 4 corners. A dual exhaust runs through a
single muffler underneath and exits at the back.
Drive-Ability
Drives great with no issues save for the radio not working, (they
never work in these German classics??). It steers smoothly, handles
great and has smooth acceleration when you need the Turbo to kick
in it has a bit of lag.
All in all a sporty version in this S6 versus the standard but
still good and lots of fun. Nice paint, no rust, aero design and
leather interior. Put on zee lederhosen and let's go snell!
