| Pros | - Highly interesting VR6, V10, and W12 engine options
- Superb fit and finish
- Smooth, quiet, and well appointed
- Multi-link suspensions all-around
| - The best exterior styling of all Audis
- Great multi-link suspension setup
- Arguably the best NA V8 from VAG
- 6-speed manual transmission
- No electronics gimmicks
| - Glorious 4.2 TDI and W12 engine options
- Much improved ZF 6HP transmission
- Good 0.27 drag coefficient
- Good towing capacity
- Much more modern inside
|
|---|
| Cons | - Front-heavy
- Addicted to AWD
| - Weak automatic transmission
- Nose-heavy
- Not as easy to work on as its contemporaries, though far better than later Audis
| - Unreliable range of FSI engines
- Adoption of CVT for FWD
