Fast but unreliable

This is a beautiful car but very expensive to maintain. Frequently has major mechanical and electrical problems that cost not hundreds but thousands of dollars to fix.

I'm not impressed, considering how much this car cost and the ratings it has received. Like way too many other reviews I've seen, I've had many problems with the car (and of course they all happened just after the warranty ran out) - at 80,000 miles so far the following has stopped working: the computerized display, the glove box (for no apparent reason according to the dealership), the AM radio, the automatic windows, plus the transmission has started sounding scary (it lurches when changing gears). Mind you, all of these were not at all cheap to repair. It's a money sink, and I'm glad to be selling it.

Car has been rock solid since date of purchase. This is my 3rd new Audi. The Quattro system it is unmatched by any other design period. Chassis design is flawless for high speed cruising. Mileage 18/15... Bright spots Engine/Interior design/Radio/Seats/Brakes are great... Low points Ride Quality w 17” wheels/255/40 are rougher. Steering in a little light (however the Europeans actually comment they love the steering lighter)?, Driver side mirror could be larger, Overall better than the 540i I replaced.. Practically in the snow and service reliability ... Stealth is the word…..

The car is now eight years old but has just 57k miles. The last three to four years I have sunk a ton of money into it. Every time I think I'm past the worst, something else happens. Most of it has been replacing the water pump, timing belt, etc. But there are things I have not repaired that should be, e.g. the instrument panel and AM radio. The information box is barely readable and requires a whole new instrument panel ($800+). AM radio went out years ago - estimate to repair was $2600! I was about to trade the car in the fall but it needed $1400 in work. Thought I would keep it a while longer, now the tranny goes bad (reverse clutch) and the estimate is >$7k. I'll never own another Audi.
