General Comments:

I love my car, but I HATE that it is in the shop so much.

I wish that there was a happy median that I can find with my car and the shop. It would not be so bad if the shop that I had to take it to did not take 4 days to do an oil change. They are very slow, even when you have a scheduled appointment.

I think that all the problems that I have with mine are unique to my car. I am thinking about selling it and getting a new one, a Q7. I hope that they are better.

So far so good, no problems with the car so far. Don't like how the heated seats stay on since they are manual. Have to remember to turn them off for next time I start the car. The mechanism to open the sun roof seems a little sketchy to me, plastic wheel and all, but hasn't broken yet!

I have truly enjoyed this car in the last few months since I bought it. I have always wanted an Audi, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing how it handles in the winter. Before purchasing, I took it into my mechanic who specializes in foreign cars, and he couldn't recommend an Audi more - in fact, he even owns one. Can't beat that. Didn't know if I would like the 1.8 engine, at times is a little slow in 1st gear, but you start to feel quite a bit of power once in 2nd gear. Other than some blind spots, I think the car is great. The interior is well done, the body of the 2005 looks expensive and sporty.

Bought the car and on the same day, the check engine light came on. Took the dealer 3 1/2 weeks to fix. Found out the dealer I originally bought the car from did not perform a PDI and falsely signed the papers. Since then, had take the car in for three more times with airbag and check engine light.

There is overwhelming rust on the drive axle.. dealer and Audi service has no comments or any corrective action in place.

General Comments:

The interior is absolutely beautiful and best among all (Lexus, BMW, Mercedes and Infiniti).

Handling is superb.

Check engine light every few months..unacceptable.

Faults:

Check Engine light on at 70 miles.

Found out the dealer original dealer did not prep (PDI) the car correctly (none at all) and the key alarm only works about 30% of the time. Problem aside, this car is a blast to drive and exceptionally comfortable. Munc better than the 2005 S60 (Volvo) loaner. The car is still in the shop and approaching Week #3.
