A very interesting insight about younger buyers - given Audi has the youngest buyers in class
 

"One taint for Toyota: Vehicles from Scion, the company's new youth-oriented brand, scored worse than the industry average last year in Power's Initial Quality Study.

Given our Audis a nice cars....
 

solid build, quite sophisticated and are pretty decent ride...

Based on my experience of first 1.5 months of ownership for each:

My 02 Avant. Delivered with faulty fuel sender unit and a defective front pass seat heater which nearly caused a burn to the touch. 1 visit

My 03 A6. Visited the dealership 3 times to fix faulty &amp; leaky headlight washers, engine shaking, xenon bounce, and a steering squeal.

My 06 4Runner. 0 problems. 0 Visits. And granted the 4 Runner is less complex electronically.

I like the C5...the Avant has been the best.
