Default Has Audi's reliability improved since 2000?

I'm thinking of jumping back into the Audi family with an A3.
But my experience with a 2.8 A4 1999.5/2000 manual, was not the greatest.
Electrical issues mainly, but also found it to be rather sluggish, and so-so handling.

I know it may be biased here, but can anyone comment honestly about the reliability of their Audi? Consumer reports still have it as so-so. I'd love to get an Audi, but if I have to bring it in all the time, I may go with a Japanese brand.

It seems like Audi has pulled up their socks!

30 years since I had my first car a VW, I returned to the "family" with a 2002 A4 1.8T Quattro:
Drive/Enjoyment: ABSOLUTE/GREAT
Reliability: HIGH MAINTENANCE
Dealer Support: HIGHWAY ROBBERY
AUDI Support: "YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN"
Recommend: NO
Will Buy another: NOT LIKELY
