Audi A6 3.0T

The good: With its new supercharged engine, the 2009 Audi A6 3.0T gets lots of power without sacrificing fuel economy. In the cabin, mobile phone integration both work excellent.

The bad: The Audi's interface for cabin tech, can be tedious to use. The navigation system lacks any advanced features. Adaptive suspension technology isn't available.

The bottom line: Although the 2009 Audi A6 3.0T is comfortable and fun to drive, we recommend waiting for the 2010 model, which will feature Audi's updated navigation system.

After a decade of increasing displacement to compete in the great horsepower race, automakers are turning their attention to fuel economy. But they don't want to lose the power buyers have c The 2009 Audi A6 3.0T gets a smaller engine than any other model in Audi's A6 lineup, but uses a supercharger to beat out the A6 3.2 for the middle spot, coming in behind the A6 4.2.

Other than the new power train for the A6, its cabin tech remains unchanged from previous models. It has the familiar Audi Multimedia Interface controls navigation, phone, and stereo. Audi is rolling out a new version of th cabin tech, but it hasn't found its way into the A6 yet. Audi promises the will be in the 2010 A6, due to come out in the fall.
