We've updated the results for the B7 A4 and S4 to include owner experiences through September 30, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since April until the summer or even fall of next year.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2008 A4: 62
2007 A4: 61
2007 S4: 102, very small sample size
2005.5-
2006 A4: 80
2005.5-
2006 S4: 66, small sample size
All results for the A4 are about average, and remain considerably better than the B6.
All are about average except the 2007 S4, which could be inaccurate--very small sample size for it.
Thank you, once again, to JET, this forum, and everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May. The more owners participate, the better the information we can provide to everyone.

We have some new pages that display all reported repairs by problem area:
2006 Audi A4 problem reports
From this page it's possible to select a different model year or specify a problem area.

Reputations improve slowly. Our data have consistently shown a big improvement from the B6 to the B7, but many people still vividly remember horror stories with the older cars. Many others are still living them.

We've updated the our reliability stats for the B7 A4 and S4 (on our redesigned site) to include owner experiences through September 30, 2011.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2008 A4: 83, about average
2008 S4: 76, about average, average odometer only 25k, very small sample size
2007 A4: 101, about average
2007 S4: 78, about average, small sample size
2005.5-
2006 A4: 92, about average
2005.5-

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.
These statistics:
2007 A4: 51, 8
2006 A4: 48, 4

It is definitely a true lemon. Or, you have an incompetent dealer. Or, you have both of the above. This is absolutely NOT normal for the 2005.5 to 2008 A4/S4/RS 4. Consumer Reports and True Delta continue to prove me right.
