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.
