I decided to take a chance on a German vehicle with reservations about reliability. I've put 4k miles on the car so far with no issues. Very happy with all aspects of the car. Handles well, gets good mileage (right at 25 overall) and is very comfortable. I have the sport package and was concerned that the ride might be punishing, however it is just firm and still very comfortable. The dealer experience has been excellent. I've had no issues with it burning excessive oil as some others have had. Hopefully the positive trend will continue.
dynamics = great, everything else = meh/poor

We leased 2 of them. We loved our first one (a 2010), although it had an oil problem and the rearview mirror kept on falling off. The second one was a nightmare. The car shipped with a torn front seat. The first one had 60/40 folding rear seats. The second one didn't. The guy screwed up our order, but by the time we realised this, it was too late. Also the fuel economy for each car SUCKED!!!! Every 2 weeks we paid $60+ for hi-grade petrol (for comparison, our 2015 328xi costs around $35 to fill for the same duration). The ergonomics were a mess. The backseat was the size of the backseat of a coupe (i.e. nonexistent). Caveat Emptor!

Audi performs like a champ. Regular dealership service is recommended since they know your car best. Beware of excessive oil usage in some cars though.

The 2009-2012 2.0 engines have a piston ring problem that cause excessive oil consumption. I was adding 1qt every 600 miles!

hilarious. an engine consuming 1 quart per 1000 miles is about the industry standard recognized oil consumption limit, yes, even for brand new cars straight off the lot. anything over that MAY be the symptom of a problem. this is a turbo vehicle, which means even a higher likelihood of oil consumption, EVEN IF everything is mechanically perfect. it's apparent that a vast majority of the population does not understand the internal workings of an internal combustion engine.
