I went from a 2012 A6 3.2 to a 2015 GS350 F Sport. I like the styling better on the 350. If you're looking for something that won't break your wallet, the Audi is not the best choice. I sold it for for the simple face that it was out of warranty.

Punctuation will take you further in life than a used car.

I'd go GS, but I'm biased.

in your case is GS for sure!

Note: if you lease you can get A6 or any german cars. If you buy for a long term use then Toyota/Honda family, my 2c....

They are not both RWD cars...the A6 is FWD unless it has optional Quattro. The GS is either RWD or AWD.

I have had terrible experience with Audi reliability. Parts and repairs outside warranty are really expensive. Maintenance cost a bit more too.

So obviously my vote would be the GS.

Correct me if I'm wrong... all Audi's in USA are AWD (quattro), except some base A4 models

dchar

Wrong...most of the models have FWD for base and you can upgrade to Quattro. In the case of the A6, the 2.0T can come in FWD or Quattro, while the 3.0T is only Quattro.

Audis are pretty and fun, but they are not reliable.
The GS will have a lower TCO per mile and a comparable experience.

Reliability aside, upkeep on an Audi is pricey and more frequent. They are fun cars if you want to keep up with the maintenance or want to roll the dice.

Having kept an Audi in the past, there's no comparison if your talking about reliability between the two.

I was considering the A6 when I purchased my GS. Have you test driven or been in an A6? While I like the way the A6 looks it felt cheap inside and I wasn't too fond of the way it drove.
