That seems like a bad idea. Wonder why they didn't do it like the A8 and have the heater on the side of the column.

I switched from a BMW M3.
My gripes with the A6:
**Need stronger, better feeling brakes
**At night, inside windshield is so easy to fog up - more than any of my cars. Have to turn on the front defroster and put on high.
**At night, side view mirrors fog up and would have to drive around before it dries out.
**Steering is way too light even in dynamic - Please Audi come up with a better fix to tighten steering feel. My wife's Lexus IS feels so much better and it's more fun to drive
Other than that everything else is great!! THANK YOU AUDI!

Here's one. Make the damn shock mounts out of metal, and don't make them part of the shocks!!! And if you won't do one or both of the above, cover them under the 4/48 warranty.
Why the hell should I have to drop $1500 at 12k miles to replace my rear shocks because the plastic mounts are making noise? Stupidest design EVER!!! Screw that. Let them fail completely and take the rest of the rear suspension with them. Then maybe Audi will cover them.

Since the C7 AW forum was created, this is the first time I've read of this issue. So I would say this is not "common".

I enjoyed my 2013 prestige a6 for the ~year I had it. I'll agree on a couple things others have said.
There is a little too much wind noise. Just like the a8, you could offer the upgraded acoustic windows for less than $1000, and I would have no problem paying for it.
The seats need bore bolstering with a comfort seat upgrade.
I wish there would be a more affordable stereo upgrade. The standard Bose and then $6000 for the Bang. Bose is getting long in the tooth and I wish Audi would do B&0 in all their cars....whatever level of quality.
Tires - I hate that Audi puts summer tires on every larger rim. You can offer all seasons or summer, and let the dealer order what most of their customers want. My 20" pzero tires were cupped with under 5k miles and I had to pay for tires out of my own pocket. They were so noisy is was ruining the experience of my car.
