Been lurking, looking to part ways from my 2015 BMW 3 series. A good nimble car, but have been intrigued by Audis, had a B5 years back, which was plagued with issues, but drove well, with an incredible interior, and father drove a 5000 and a Fox back in the day, so some history here. Am I looking at similar headaches in a newer version?

 

I drove a 2003 A6 2.7T from 36k to 236k and sold it with minor problems (A/C, power steering whine; but it ran fine). I have a 2011 that I bought used with 99k miles and other than the famous oil blowby (which I expected), it has been rock solid. (Full disclosure: I rebuilt the engine because of the leak and as PM at 153k and it has run like a charm to 168k). And my daughter bought a 2018 MT6 which has been solid up to 44k, but it is now experiencing the "common" hydraulic engine mount leak. We have been very happy with Audi.
