Knock on wood, i've never had any issues with my Audi.  It's an 02 3.0L V6 Quattro with 96K miles, bought new.  No issues, no problems, just fun driving.

I've got an '01 2.8 with Quattro and the sport suspension, it's got around 100K kilometers on it (60k miles) and it's the solidest car I've ever owned. Not a squeak or rattle in it, great fun to drive. Apparently I'm in a minority, though.

eh, yers is justa babey 

i've got an '01 A4 1.8T Quattro with 148K on it

it's had it's issues, but i haven't owned a car that hasn't.
the warranty paid for most of the fixes, which is now expired.

maintenance is pricey, but worth it.
the car is still solid, and i DRiVe iT! 

i <3 this car, and it kicks ass in the snow.

i drove an TT for 3 years and the only "issue" that i had was a small pop that would happen when doing left u-turn after a hard right turn. the car was outstanding in all other regards. the only reason that i got out of it was i purchased my VW R32 which was more my style anyway. the TT just had a bit too much flash for me to feel like it was "for me".

one thing that i do miss about driving an audi is the service i received from the dealership. you just cannot beat a well run luxury car dealership when it comes to things like loaners and other compensation.

I had an S3 and the only issue I ever had was electrical.
it kept blowing out break light bulbs.

Audi offered a full service package.
All I had to do was call them, they would pick up the car and drop off a loner, than bring the car back when it was done.

I went in to buy brake lights the first time it happened and they got upset about me coming in and told be just to call and they would replace it free of charge.

They did fix the problem eventually.


Great car, fun to drive, would not hesitate getting another one.     

I currently have a 2002 S3. The car is in Mexico, so I don't get to drive it as much as I would want. I'm actually planning on selling it soon. But I had it in Chicago for about a year, I got so many offers from people wanting to buy it  It was def. an exotic car around here. I've had alot of issues with the car, dying batteries, problems with the anti-roll bars, transmission, etc etc. But I think most of them tend to be from the lack of use. A relative has an 04' A4 which has had alot of issues too. Was in the shop for around 3 months and a $4,000 bill.

Very fun cars though.

it works to their advantage when your 01 is in for service and they give you an 08

Actually that's how I ended up buying the S3.

My Golf was in for a service, I had the Audi on loan for a week and when I came back to pick it up my Golf I couldn't go back.

I traded in the Golf for a new S3 that day.

an S3 is just about the only (reasonable) car that i would trade my R32 for. although since i started riding the bike, it mostly just sits in the garage. <smirk>
