Audi is engineered in a way I wouldn’t want to own one long term. Also they are way down on power compared to the comparable bmw. Ie s4 vs m340i the m340i WIPES THE FLOOR with the Audi. Happens with most of their models. Maintenance cost for high end ones (S/RS) seems more expensive than the comparable M, for example brake job on some RS models is 5k++. M is half that. Mercedes makes a more reliable V8 than both of them.
