The most popular audi A4's are <petrol>1.8T / 2.8 30v <diesel> 1.9 tdi
quattro is more desirable as its 4wd, quattro doesnt mean the model comes
with any extra bells, its just the drive train, 2wd or quattro.
Someone else will advise you on other models

Thank you for the input. Which models of Audi in particular are
successful? There seem to be 4 different configurations for each of
these models A4, A6, A8, S4 and RS6. Each model has submodels like 1.8,
1.8 quattro and more. Which model is most popular with consumers for
reliability?
Thank you once again.

Re: Audi owner experiences
I've owned Audis since 1984. They are *very* reliable and have taken me
through many rough roads during rallies, and deep snows in the winter.
My son-in-law gets my "hand downs" and keeps them until I am ready to buy
another Audi. He kept my 1990 200 Quattro Turbo Wagon for several years before
he traded it at 150K miles. We still see it occasionally - still running well
from what we hear. One of my grandsons is driving my 94 S4 and it has 150K
miles on it. Still going strong. My 2000 A6 4.2 has more than 100K on it,
still being driven by my daughter. My current 03 RS6 is the most fun car I've
ever driven. It goes like stink and handles superbly. I can not see myself
ever selling this car. Wellllllll, perhaps for another RS6..... d;o)
Repairs *can* be a bit pricey if you stay with a dealer. However, if you shop
around and find a good mechanic, the repairs are more reasonable. The Quattro
system is bullet proiof and rarely needs repairs. The same goes for engines.
If you give everything routine maintenance, these cars should last a long time.
And, no, my feet aren't made out of feathers. Bricks would be a better
description.

That's just what I was thinking

I bought mine last month but no, it's not a quattro. I wish the
previous owner had included the adaptor for the anti-theft wheel
bolts, but as it turned out the local Audi dealer had one in stock for
a tenner (including spare bolt).
