Never Ending carbon deposit build up on intake valves on both 4 and 6 cyl fsi motors.

Upper control arm bushings programmed to go bad at around 70-80k on all a4/5/6/7/8 cars.

Crankcase ventilation valve failures are common all across model line up.

Except the 2.0T A4s in general Audis are great reliable cars. Relatively inexpensive to maintain, and repair.

Electronics are very reliable despite common perception (post 2005 models).

What are your thoughts on 2013 A5 2.0T? Better than the 2012?
We just bought one, 15k miles. It was a lease car.
