Anyone have one for a while that would like to offer an honest opinion on their reliability?

My wife's Mazda 6 drives great. Basically the same car except the Audi has leather seats.

Don't know about the Q's, but I'm on my second A4. I Had the first one for 9-years and never had anything major go wrong. At 100k I dropped about 3k on a bunch of stuff, but it was all normal wear & tear.

Audis are notorious for horrible reliability and electrical issues inside the can. With that being said a couple of family members have them and they haven't had any problems to speak of yet. One has a Q5 that is a couple of years old and the other has the A8 with the v12.

May be an expensive car, one of a kind.

They are reliable.

Q3 was all new for 2015. Probably not a whole lot with any significant mileage on them yet. The q5 has pretty solid resale value compared to audis of old. I think they've fixed a lot of the electrical gremlins they were famous for.

They are both pretty effing small. Step it up to a Q7

I dont trust German cars very much, but my wife's Q5 has given us no problems. The 8 speed transmission is flawless and made by ZF. We have the 2.0T, which is an engine Volkswagen has been using for over 10 years. We have only had it for 2 years now, but she loves it. I still dont trust it to take it on long trips very much, but that is just my ignorant thinking. I just know it will be much more expensive to fix when stuff does go wrong than my old Acura. I dont know much about the 3.0T, but it seems to be just as reliable. Audi has come a long way and is pretty reliable across the board on models 2010 and newer.

The a8 w12 is close to 150k.

I have an SQ5 and it has been trouble free and a joy to drive.

Maybe they aren't big people?
BTW, the Q7 is a fricking slug to drive.

A buddy of mine is a mechanic and his shop specializes in Audi and Porsche.... He doesn't have anything nice to say about Audi reliability.

Also, if they live in a city a Q7 its a bad option. The Q5 and GLK350 are on our list for this reason.

It's actually called a W12 and it's $34,498.00
