We've updated the results for the B8 A4 and S4 to include owner experiences through December 31, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the months since last April until the summer or even fall of this year.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2011 A4: 18, better than average
2011 S4: 87, worse than average
2010 A4: 33, better than average
2010 S4: 73, about average
2009: 75, about average
Water pump failures have caused the repair frequencies to increase for many Audi models lately.
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.
With the B8 A4, the percentage with no repairs is 54 for the 2009 and 74 for the 2010, while the percentage with 3+ repair trips is about 5 for the 2009 and less than one for the 2010.
