Audi are great cars...

For the first owner !

After that, look out man ! The repair costs are just scary high.

Once the warranty is gone and you have to take it to those white-coat-wearing Porsche/Audi techs to get anything fixed the charm wears off really fast. How many 8-12 year old Audis do you see running around ? Ask the owners of an older Audi what they think of the cars. Check the resale prices on higher mileage Audis versus a similar Mercedes or BMW. Sure the writers in the car magazines love 'em. They don't have to worry about taking care of them once the warranty runs out !

Good choice to lease but not to own for the long haul.
