Default 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. The study focuses on problems consumers report with their new vehicles during the first three months of ownership. Scion vehicles are assembled in Japan.

Some analysts say the highly configurable nature of Scions creates more opportunities for owner complaints. Cuneo argues that Scion's target audience of tech-savvy young consumers has high expectations."<ul><li><a href="http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060320/SUB/60316014/1003/REUTERS">Long and interesting article on reliability and Toyota</a></li></ul>

Default 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.
