Default question about New Audi car

My father is considering buying a new Audi A4. Do those cars frequently have problems? Are repairs on this car expensive?

I know when he used to have a 530 he hated it cause that car was a lemon from the get go.

I guess he is traumatized now.

i felt proud one day when he said i feel like your accord is more reliable than my car..

yeah...what a downgrade too. Just because of that one incident he refuses to go with a BMW.

He's looking at the one that has 255hp. I think its the A4 2.0T.

Audi's have historically been very spotty for reliability.

Yeah, take that as a bad sign.

Have him buy my 4Runner instead? :x:

I REALLY like the A3's.

At the golf course, I saw a silver debadged A3 dropped with a full suspension (coils, sways, endlinks, bushings) on 18" ssr competitions in gunmetal.

:drool:

Right then and there I was sold on the car. Who gives a fuck about reliablity.. it's SICK!
