Audi's use to be great, now they're not that good. The first Audi I ever drove was my parents A6 from the early 90's which was really nice. I later got an A4 which I loved to death, some moron hit me and totalled that, from the insurance money I actually was able to get an S4 which was fantastic...except for engine troubles and constant little things. Talking to other people that have recent Audi's (within the last 5-10 years) they all also have constant troubles with theirs and maintenance is a bitch. I later sold my S4 because gas was just too much and test drove a bunch of the Audi's and, I don't know, I just don't like them anymore. Instead I went with a Mini Clubman and I love it to death. |
That is interesting because I have been hearing the same thing about the recent BMWs, specifiacally the Z series. A co-workers handle actually broke, that cost him $500. All in all any recent purchasers have had to drop $1000-$1500 a year on a Z over the last 3 or so years. Then I noticed a trend, all the cars were not actually manufactured in Germany, but in Mexico or some place like that. THe ones manufactured in Germany apparently cost a bunch more, but on the flip side they last you forever. Same with the Audis if I had to guess, I only know one person with an A4 and he has been happy, no idea where his was manufactured though.
