Oil changes don't require an authorized dealer.

I love my Audi A4. I bought a certified pre-owned. It was a dealer loaner with 5k miles and looked and smelled new. Better than new warranty and priced about the same as a new Accord or Camry with similar features. I had to go to Atlanta for best price and selection - only a tank of gas to get home. Nola/BR dealers couldn’t touch the price and had limited inventory.

Audi styling is conservative and understated which suits me fine. Only cons for me: small trunk, no sunglasses holder, small cup holders and useless storage compartments. Love the technology, interior looks stunning, quiet ride, drives on rails and excellent gas mileage.

I have a work truck but wanted a nice weekend and road trip car.

I have an S4 with 85k miles.

No problems. Most expensive part has been changing the transmission oil every 30k. Its literally about 350 just for the oil.

Nothing beats that rush when I mash the pedal. The thing hauls arse.

I'm not sure what maintenance headaches you're referring to.

2011 BMW 535 for the record.

Audi A7 is not bad on maintenance cost or frequency solid car!

No - get a Lexus. Far more reliable and much cheaper maintenance

I have a Porsche and it’s an incredibly engineered car and handles like a dream. I did some research before I bought and it’s very reliable for the type of car. You just have to know oil changes, tires and any shop work will be $$$. Wish I lived near the mountains where it was designed to roam, but I’d probably be dead by now.

I drive an older 750Li and it's not nearly as unreliable as everyone makes them out to be. As long as you're not a functioning retard and can do just a little of your own work, you'll be fine.

Last car was a BMW. Current car is a Mercedes.

Neither had noteworthy maintenance issues.

I drive a BMW. Believe the maintenance cost to be rather overdone, has not been my experience. Wife also drives a BMW, same experience. Mine is a 5 series - she drives a Z4.

Should have bought one a long time ago. Will never own another brand.

Yes. Panties drop when I pull up in my wife’s 735.

I'd give my left nut for a RS7.

A couple years old, of course, after the massive depreciation hit.

I’m on my 3rd straight Audi. Haven’t had any issues. Best cars on the road. Just pay extra for Audi care with the purchase so you are always covered.
