As much as I like the style and driving as well as the interior I can't forget the nightmares I had with my A6 tranny.
I still don't understand why Audi can't put timing chains cause at 105k miles the belt needs replacement! and that is an
expensive and not DIY friendly job:

How can they expect any long term ownership of those cars!! The closer they're to that maintenance the prices will just plummet! I thought in Europe people liked/needed to keep their cars for years and years!
