in general, I tend to agree, but my experience with Audi direct fuel injection has been extremely positive.

My 2007 D3 was one of the first to come down the assembly line with the new DFI, probably the first day or so of the run based upon the VIN, and I would frequently thank my good luck that it wasn't built a little sooner with the old system as a 2006 model. Mine was a build order.

When I said goodby to my A8 eleven years later, the engine was still smooth as silk, and the mileage was as good or better than new. I did frequent oil changes and used top tier gas, and even put in a dose of Techron periodically, even though many said that treatment didn't matter with DFI.

Audi may have screwed up earlier DFI engines, but I believe they had it right in 2007, at least in the D3, assuming the owner took some care. Mike

Back to derf' s question, if my wife sees one of these, it could happen. Of course, I would keep her Cayenne S, with its NA V8. And I'd keep my D4.
