Audi

True story. Friend of mine’s mom and sister died in an Audi whose gas pedal stuck and they ran into a house (or something) when he was 9 or 10. I assume all Audis do that still.
Yeah, hate winter...so open flames would be ideal while driving
Seriously, spend a lot of money on something else. Ever heard of a manufacturer issuing a recall on two separate components in one year because they both could fail and burn you alive? Only a German vehicle could do that.
Can you pronounce “Audi” correctly? If not, don’t buy one.
And in addition to defects, fires, etc.; ya also gotta deal with this.
#notworthit. Buy a Honda. Thank us later.

I own two (2015 A6 & 2011 Q5) and they have been great cars and a lot of fun to drive. I remember watching a show on CNBC almost a decade ago where they interviewed the head of Audi. He said that his goal was for Audi to surpass BMW in the performance sedan class. At the time, I thought it was b.s. but they are every bit as good as BMW today. My previous two cars were BMWs and I really liked them too.
You could buy a VW, save a lot of money and be driving the same car.
Never heard of a stellar station wagon.
Im usually not fond if any German vehicle as none of them Are reliable...i was just curious about Audi as I heard it was more reliable than the other 2.
I've had a Honda for 12 years, still going strong.

Absolutely the worst drivers about cutting in 6 inches from your bumper , even if it's raining and you are pulling a U-Haul.

I have to agree based on my experience. For years it was Lincoln drivers, then BMWs. Now, when I see an Audi logo, I just expect an ******* maneuver is about to happen. It's not all of them by any means, but it's enough of them to matter.
Actually it's not..they are known to have good performance buy poor reliability unless you assume JD power and everyone else has some axe to grind for no reason
I haven't subscribed in a couple of years, so I don't know if it has changed or not, but according to Consumer Reports, European automobiles, as a general rule, were toward the bottom in terms of reliability. I remember several years ago, for example, Mercedes being dead last. Maybe they have improved some over the past few years, but they have a history of being less reliable then both Japanese and american made cars.
I test drove a loaded Q7 the other day. Drives great, smooth ride, interior was premo, tech stuff was cool.
But 3 minutes into the test drive I found myself riding people's bumper and cutting people off. Had to stop the vehicle and let the sales guy drive back to the dealer. [eyeroll]
Really did test drive the Q7 though. Nice vehicle.

That's a really stupid assumption.
OP, we have a Q5, lots of fun to drive. My buddy has an RS7, and that's *really* fun to drive. 0-60 in about 3 seconds. 600+ HP. He's going to do a turbo software tune, and will be close to 700 HP. Sick.
Seems like guys who drive Audis or BMW's have to ask their wives for their balls when they leave the house. Strange characters to say the least.
Thoughts on the AM Guilia? Popped up on a FB ad and took a peek. Pretty legit car for under 40k. Super fast, sleek, great luxury interior. The grill/hood is up for debate. I like it, but maybe it's not as menacing as some. I've always loved the Infiniti look.
You mean Alfa Romeo? It’s gotten great reviews, the high end tt V6 has performed very well against the usual suspects. I like it and in 40k trim think your still getting a lot for the money.
German cars are certainly less reliable both in frequency and overall dollars spent than their Japanese counterparts....not really debatable. I love German cars, had a few nice ones, and will have them in the future. But they are, on a whole, less reliable.
I have owned Mercedes and BMW's for years and haven't had any reliability issues. I also have had several Toyotas and IMO they are the best cars overall I've ever had.
