But a close second hand experience. A close buddy had a '03 A6 with only about 40k miles on it. The first 2 months he had it, it was literally in the shop more than on the road. He owned it for a year, then gave up. Traded it in on a brand new Toyota Corolla this last summer, which he says is the best thing he ever did. He had his wife take a picture of him handing the Audi keys over at the dealership, with a very big smile on his face.
