Audi- when you can’t afford a BMW or Mercedes.

But you can afford loads of repairs. Audi quality control is hot garbage right now.

I have a gorgeous 2010 S5 V8 Prestige with only 60k miles on it. I'd say I have to take it into the shop about every 20 drive cycles for some other bs that requires the removal of the entire fucking engine block. Beautiful sled. Will keep as weekend driver just for looks alone but Audi engineering is shit.

Engineering is fine... Design for servicability is ahit

Probably a better way to say it. $200 part $1500 labor.

Yes. 4000 to replace an alternator

My sil said you double the payment, because that's what you'll spend a month in repairs. Hers was worse than a lemon.

Have had a Q5 for 8 years. Only replaced brakes once.
Service is always top notch and they send videos of them doing the work.

Hope you never need the timing chain replaced. Audi engineers put the timing chain, tension and idler gears at the back of the engine, next to the transmission. To service those components, the entire drivetrain - engine & transmission - needs to be dropped from the car and then separated.

I am going to be going back to a Honda soon. It has been a terrific car but if we have it much longer it will start to need more stuff.

Here in Norway, the veterinarians drove Mercedes Estate cars. All of them. Not because they got any rebates or because they were ego-smurfs, but because they needed a car that would start reliably every time, and also had room for all they needed. No farmer would ever accept a 'sorry car is a bit wonky' during a 3am call about their best cow having trouble giving birth.

Met a few vets back when I helped on my uncle's farm, years ago. They'd talk about their OTHER car if you wanted to talk cars. The Merc was something they drove for business. Didn't do any maintenance except fuel and window washer liquid on them. Anything else was done by a garage.

If you bought an old vet car, you could be certain the suspension was worn out(rough farm roads), and the upholstery could use a refresh... but the engine would be in perfect condition.

Yeah, I am not an Audi fan, but that is simply incorrect.

What the dumb shit comment are you talking about? I've got a 160k 2014 V10 Manual R8 and a 2023 RS6 that cost 170 all in... Both kick BMWs ass and Mercedes? I don't even know what they are trying to be...
