G35 Sedan vs. Audi A6

Just curious to see which one you guys would choose and those who have either one please feel free to let me know what you like and don't like about the vehicle, any common issues, etc.

I'm looking specifically at the '05 and '06 of both the G35 sedan and Audi A6 3.2 Quattro. What I like about the G35 is that it's faster, but I don't really need anything too fast, just something that has the balls to pass someone up when needed. I like larger interior space, which is why I decided to go with the A6 over the A4. I did not test drive the A6, but I did drive the G35, I liked it. Only thing is, the A6 shows a classy/elegant status...so, what's your take?

i like the looks of the g35, but g37 would be even better

I say get the a6... i like audi more, and it's going to be more lux than a g35 imo. More expensive for repairs though.

That's another thing. Repairs...how often do they occur on each vehicle. also if someone prefers a certain vehicle over the other, whats the reasoning? that's more of what i'm interested in rather than one vehicle or the other. G37 is too expensive also.

I've found both vehicles with 20-25k miles for around $28k or less. The Audi is a little more expensive but I dont mind paying an extra couple grand if needed, especially if it comes with additional or better options. I'm mainly looking for navigation as an option. Audio is not a big concern of mine, would be a bonus, and so is a sunroof.

audi is more luxury then a g35. Status wise.

a G35 is more (to me) as a mid-life crisis luxury-esque sports car. an A6 is more just, i'm rich *****!

g35 will likely be more reliable.

Looks = depends on the person

Luxury = Audi by **** hair

Price = G35

Speed = G35

Handling = Probably the A6

Reliability = G35

Cost of Ownership = G35

Baller Status = A6

An A6 is not a car to look like a baller in. You'll need to actually be a baller to own that car. As for now, if you get the A6, buy a long *** warranty, and a maintenance plan. As soon as those run out, sell the *****.
