Great cars till 50k or so...then the gremlins move in to roost. They are very well assembled and difficult to DIY, even with Bentley Manuals and WIS type DVDs. Parts are pricey. A lot of things seem to have failed early, anything electrical and complicated, instrument clusters, on board computers, ABS, throttle bodies, ignition packs, purge valves. Mechanical items failing around 50-60k included a/c compressors, condenser, evaporators, heater cores, radiator, p/s pump, water pumps. We had 6 cyl. that ate a valve at 65k and the engine had to be replaced...long term reliability not good...ranks low in CR ratings as well.
Audis owned...1988 Audi 90, 1996 Audi A4 (V6), 2002 TT Quattro Convert (1.8-225HP), 2005 A4 Cabriolet (1.8) (wifes cars)
Audis are stylish well executed cars...just dont try to keep one for the long haul unless you have very deep pockets.
