 I had many friends who owned Audi's in 
the past circa mid 80's.  THey loved 
the performance and hated the 
maintainence problems.  I waited some 
fifteen years. I love the car.  So 
far,  16,000 miles and counting I have 
had no appreciable problems.  The 
regular service has been incredibly 
good, punctual, and reliable.  
Actually, they have even been kind.  I 
would strongly recommend this car. A6 
and A6 allroad.
