You are very lucky...I have friends who owne them, and some who work at the dealership, and AUDI is very unreliable! Altho i love them, i would not owne one if it was given to me...Far too many problems, and expensive to maintain...

One of the most reliable cars you can find! The only problem is the headgaskets on EJ25 motors, but a used JDM motor is about $700 and take 5 hours to do a swap. Also older 2.2 Turbos have transmission problems (but engines are great!). I have been driving Subarus for about 5 years now, and as much as i hate to say it, FAR more reliable then any BMW i have seen (and i work with them all day long)...
