Is an Audi A6 more reliable than a Volvo S60?

I am looking at a roomy Sedan. What would you buy an Accord, an A6 or an S60 or S80? Safety, reliability and comfort are my main concernIs an Audi A6 more reliable than a Volvo S60?Comfort and interior detail and style: Audi is often considered the world benchmark here. They are reliable but servicing costs are high.

Safety is excellent



The Volvo alternatives are a bit more stylish than the Accord but they are not built like they used to be. Electrical gremlins are common as they get older. Safety is first class. Servicing costs are not as high as for an Audi.



The Accord probably the easiest to live with in terms of reliability and depreciation. Servicing costs will probably be in the same league as the Volvo. Comfort in the bigger US Accord (as opposed to the international Accord Euro which is a different car), will be a plus too, and it will ride accourding to American tastes: and still handle sort of okay. The Audi will be firm by US tastes and handle brilliantly. The Vilvo will have US spec suspension,which is softer than that found elsewhwere- it is not as tidy a handler as the Audi.Is an Audi A6 more reliable than a Volvo S60?No, but any Euro sedan will be much less reliable than the Accord. They may be sexy and beautiful but European cars are hurtling down the unreliable/too expensive to maintain/second mortgage to repair whirlpool at a horrifying rate. Even a lowly Chevy Malibu will go over 150,000 miles with only basic maintenance.Is an Audi A6 more reliable than a Volvo S60?Volvo might be a little more reliable, but the A6 in my opinion is way nicer. A6 is really safe and very comfortable.
