Great ride...but spent too much time in the shop...never had the parts...always took at least two trips to dealer: Window track broken - 3 trips Broke lock and messed up leather during repair - two more trips. Cruise control intermitant - never fixed. Cover on door storage would not shut - two trips. Air bag warning light on - 4 trips (last one took a week). Vacume line faulty - 1 trip. (surprise) Never any problems with the engine or drive train. Loaded with gadgets. Good looking. (I have a friend who bought one at the same time as I did and has had little or no problems with his and loves it.)

Read before buying. I bought the car for dependability and I have been in the shop more than anyone I know with what people consider lesser cars. I have replaced all ball joints (twice over) and I do not drive hard, replaced rotors, breaks. The heated, tinted mirrors are peeling on one side. Some interior items just broke at a touch. Went thru a period of the car starting randomly, currently revisiting that problem again. The dash diplay fades out. The car had low mileage when I purchased it and had been maintained by the previous owners. Thanking myself for not selling my old car as it has been there for me when the Audi fails. I do not think I would buy one again, not impressed.

Owner's nightmare: mechanic's dream.

Bought it with 68K miles two years ago. Also considered Volvo, Benz, and BMW. We liked the styling, test drive, features. Though it drove well/handled well in snow (rural NE PA), it experienced (beyone regular service) monthly mechanical difficulties involving engine (including replacement), genuine replacement parts, transmission, suspension, possessed/failing accessories, LED display, & electronics-based issues. In two years, purchased 3 sets of tires (including one set of Blizzaks), numerous modules, replacement engine, other engine parts. Spent average of $500/mo on repairs during ownership. Just traded it with 130,000 miles. Wife and I literally cried in joy after doing so.
It has sucked my bank account dry...

I bought my car with 52K. It's been in the shop on the average of once/month since I've had it for the past year. It costs a fortune to maintain. I've had to replace the control panel computer, the brakes, the automatic window guide, the water pump, the speaker wiring for the phone, the passenger seat controls. I had to change a tire yesterday. The jack is worthless in the snow. Its cantilevered design would not work on a snowy, but hard surface. I'm hoping to trade it in for a Subaru. I wish I had gotten one to begin with, but I was totally seduced by the comfort and quiet of the Audi.

This car has fit the bill..mostly. We wanted a wagon for hauling stuff, AWD for New England weather, the comfort and quality of luxury car, and priced less that $25k (we bought used). We make regular cross NE trips with confidence and car leaves us refreshed, not tired. Four years later we're untimely faced with the cost of new brakes, new tires, expensive timing belt change, oil leak fix, repainting front bumper, and regular maintenance all at the same time. As with all VW/Audis I have owned they are plagued by electrical inconsistencies that we learn to live to enjoy the 'german' driving experience. So, the question is do invest $3K to fix and keep it or get $6-7k, maybe, on trade.
