I've never owned an Audi but I've pushed plenty of them. Had a friend in college whose family were audi fans. Spectacular cars while under warranty and then pretty wretched thereafter. They were always broke down, always needing a special part, always wanting the attention of the the expensive mechanic etc.
The final straw for me with Audi was the day my friend Jeff and I had to push his father in the Audi 5000 because the transmission went out. It was well over 100 degrees and I was wearing 4" heels. We pushed that car a good quarter of a mile to get it safely off the road for the tow truck.
This is coming from someone who has owned every marque of american junk, assorted salvage cars, some cars with more than 300,000 on the original gas engine, a fiat, a volvo and a jaguar. I have kept each of those cars in fully dependable daily driver service. I will NEVER own an Audi out of warranty.
I will also never push one again. Especially not while wearing heels. Not even for a friend.
