It is the least reliable, most expensive to maintain, most troublesome car I've ever had. Dealer service and support are just plain unacceptable and the distributorship/manufacturer have been somewhere between unhelpful and obstructive in trying to get dealers to correct warranty problems or even to fix problems their own foulups cause. Trouble areas include body panel fit, rust, paint, water leaks, electrical gremlins, rattles, multiple sound system failures, clutch failure, the shift linkage falling apart, the alternator mount breaking, two air- conditioner failures... plus I've spent close to $2000 on repairs made necessary by poor dealer workmanship which neither the dealers involved nor Audi cared to do anything about. When the car works right, it is a joy. But I'll never buy another. In fact, I'll sell you mine CHEAP. trsvax!levy
