bottom line: stay the hell away from any German cars unless you like spending money unnecessarily for "extra" maintenance.
I agree about the German cars. We would be homeless if we didn't get the maintenance contract on wife's benz. It is really insane what they charge for basic maintenance let alone if anything ever goes out on it. We already agreed to trade it in once the contract is up. If you go with the audi, be ready for a lot of "extra" maintenance!
