unless I'm looking for ways to mod my car...I don't have any complaints to post. Really pisses me off. With my BMW I had more opportunity to post about what goes wrong with my car, which honestly wasn't that much. But with the Audi, I feel very odd not having gone to the dealer more than a few times since I've owned it. Damn you Audi!

If my 1985 Audi 5000S was still around, I'd give it to you so you could literally move into your dealer's service department. 😝 Was never a day in the 8 years I owned that thing where all the equipment functioned at the same time--there was always something or other that was on the fritz.

I remember the 5000, wasn't that the one that killed people by running them over? It was a pretty good looking car though if I recall. I'm sticking with this A8 for another 2.5 years, as usual, then looking into a used 2016 G11 I think. Might even reconsider the Panamera, although when I drove a 2012 Panny, I was less than impressed. But they've evolved over the years.

Funny thing though, since the Audi is so spot on, I've moved on to modding my Mastercraft and joined their forum. It's as addicting as the Audi forum and costing me even more money! The boat is bulletproof, but the stuff I can add to it is amazing, and pricey.

My Audi was too reliable, so I got a Benz, in all it's ABC glory. *sigh* I need to replace a hydraulic line already...

Boy, your post brought back memories! Yes, I had the 1985 5000S first because of the awesome leases available at the time (thanks 60 Minutes) and it practically lived at the dealership. So did I give up? Noooooo! I fell in love with a 1986 200S turbo that rivaled the '85 for dealer time but on the open roads of Arizona WOW! Pretty sure everything was replaced save the body and seats!
