Prestige is a lot more $ than Premium Plus, and there isn't a lot you get from it. Main benefit I see is HUD. Ventilated seats and rear shades are okay. I didn't think it was worth the price difference.

The Prestige trim makes the car. Don’t cheap out.

Prestige is a few thousand more than PP+ so I don’t feel it’s a lot more; a small percentage of the total price. I love the HUD and ventilated seats and those are now must-haves for my next car. When I drive my wife’s car now, I have to remember to look down at the dash. The ventilated seats’ cooling is very subtle but they do keep you cool and dry. My kids love the rear shades. They pop them up at the slightest hint of sun and pretend they’re being chauffeured in limo.

Because of the HUD I no longer like driving other vehicles.

Thanks guys! Just pulled the trigger on a 2017 A6 3.0T Prestige with the driver assistance package! Hope I dont regret coming to Audi for the first time !

I have had HUD in a few loaner vehicles from BMW and loved it everytime which is the reason I wanted Prestige package.

I def. want the Driver Assistance Package and Prestige trim. Did they update or add any new features between the 2016 and 2017?

Anyone come from a 535i? Are you happy with the A6?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Congrats on the new car!

For future reference, US News usually have a good description of what's different on each year's model, under the "Which Model Year of the Audi A6 Is Best?" paragrah: https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/audi/a6/2017
