Where's the data to back up this claim? Not just one case (which, I grant is
bad enough) but the statistics of warranty claims denied by type.

I love my Audi TT. I just turned in the first one for another last week.
The Audi is not perfect. It still has those German "gremlins".
My recommendation is to seriously evaluate the DEALERS. I have the luxury of
having 3 dealers within 35 miles.
My dealer has never ever made the car's problem my problem.
I believe that is the good side of Audi spending more on pampering the
dealers. If the sales and service reps good "Excellent" reviews, they get
cash and/or other rewards. A smart rep will help you out. Find that guy
and you'll both be happy.
