B7 A4 reliability - better info
#11
Updated results have been posted.
The 2005.5/2006 and 2007 both appear to have average repair rates, maybe a bit better than average, which is an improvement over the B6.
Will they continue to do well as they age? Can't say yet, but this survey will closely track the cars, with updates every three months.
Additional participants always helpful, especially for the 2008.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
Great participation by B7 owners. That said, the more participants we have, the better the information we can provide to everyone.

The latest Car Reliability Survey results were recently posted. The reported number of repair trips per 100 cars per year for the Audi B7 A4:
2005.5-2006: 56, about average
2007: 40, better than average
2008: 34, better thana average
So, quite good so far, and much better than many people expect from an Audi.
A big thanks to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May, August, and November. Additional participants would certainly be helpful, especially if we start splitting results by engine.
We now have a separate results page for each model. The one for the Audi A4:
