Audi has never been great. BMW is worse now but that’s more alarming because BMW used to be great.

Bring it to Vinnie's Exotics in BR. He'll give you a real, honest assessment.

Yah I want a Porsche so bad but it seems idiotic to buy anything other than Lexus. Literally have never had a single problem across 3 vehicles over almost 20 years. My 2 year stint with a Mercedes was a bloody nightmare by comparison

Brought in vehicle to dealer service department again, vehicle has a rod knock and engine has to be replaced. Cost estimate is $30k.

6 year old Audi with 60k miles is dead


If the engine needs to be replaced, why isn't it covered under the powertrain warranty. Audi has a 10 year 120k mile powertrain warranty for the engine and transmission. I know because I drive an Audi A6.

The germans tend to over engineer everything. Been that way forever.

To go off of the dealership thread I started. I found many incidents like yours and immediately told her to not even utter the words "Audi"

That's sad that you spent all that money only to have it go kaput in 60k miles. Only reason I let my wife get Hyundai is that 10 yr/ 100k powertrain warranty.
