I have a 2007 Audi A6 with 140k which has been more reliable than past ford or nissans...In 11 years replaced starter when a couple years old under warranty, bluetooth module failed caost 1k, solenoid for valvetrain I fixed for $200., 1 bad coil, I had independant replace and do full tune filters,plugs oil about 500. Had ac charged for 200. I do my own brakes cost about 400 for both axles and oil changes.Overal great car and still looks fantastic after 11 years. The paint and interior still look virtually new. After I shined it up last year a neighbor said good luck with new car. One thing I will say about german cars they hold up well over time. The interior/exterior of the ford and nissan looked old and worn out after 10 years......We just purchased a new Q5, hopefully it will be as good as the last
