Default Should I keep it?

Long time lurker on this forum. I have a 2021 RS7 that I purchased used in 2021 with only 4k miles on it. Over the past three years, I've had the rear differential go bad, the alternator fail, the fuel pump recall, and I just had the coolant pump go bad and leak coolant into the vacuum tubes which required 6 weeks of repair time (although my Audi dealer service department stinks and is super slow anyway). I love this car. I love the drive and still catch myself looking back as I walk away. However, I'm coming up to the end of the warranty and I'm wondering if it's worth keeping with all of the major issues it's had. I could always get an extended warranty, but having the car in the shop for several weeks at a time is annoying outside of the cost.
Part of me thinks I should just let her go, and part of me thinks I've already fixed lots of major things so it's probably fine. Famous last words.

Curious what the thoughts of the group here would be.

Only you can answer this question. If you really love the car, keep it and get an extended warranty. I'm not someone who keeps a car long term, but an RS7 might be the exception to that (RS anything actually LOL).
