Reviews SummaryThe Audi A6 was last completely overhauled for the 2004 model year, but the midsize German luxury car still offers enough advanced technology and comfort features to keep it relevant in a competitive segment. The 2008 A6 is available as a new car in both sedan and wagon formats, the latter of which is known as the A6 Avant. The A6 can be loaded up with the latest in entertainment, comfort, and performance tech, but its price tag grows quickly with each addition. That’s not out of line with the rest of the segment, but are Audi’s efforts enough to hold off newer and less expensive competition from other parts of the car world? | |
Reviews SummaryFew compact cars venture into the niche dominated by the Subaru Impreza. Available in sedan or hatchback wagon body styles, the Impreza features standard all-wheel drive and a unique boxer-engine layout. The Impreza has been completely redesigned and is a new car for the 2008 model year, with a new look and new interior. Its familiar drivetrain remains intact but made more modern. | |
