"Finely appointed and finished Avant with early mechanical failure."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front brakes reshimmed at 7,000 miles.

Heater/air conditioner blower replaced at 4,000 miles.

Cam-belt tensioner malfunctioned and rattled causing replacement at 7,500 miles.

Rear hatch latch readjusted after malfunctioning at 7,000 miles.

General comments?

Car handles superbly, but having so many mechanical failures on this Audi causes concern.

Audi USA still waiting for the next shoe to drop before replacement considered.

Best on the highway and foul weather.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: During one of the worst snowfalls in the Northeastern United States, an unlicensed, speeding, out of control driver slid directly into the Audi. The car was a total loss with extensive vehicle deformity, but a life was saved even with my injuries. A new 2003 A4 Avant was purchased and performs beautifully.
