Detailed review:	I bought an Audi A4 two years ago, and have but just over 30,000 miles on it. In general my car has been in the shop for one major repair every 6,000 miles or so. So far I have returned to the dealership because: A plastic cover under the hood broke and flooded my car. It took nearly a month to dry my car and repair all the electrical damage. The Memory function on my side mirror has never functioned properly or been repaired to my satisfaction. With out my continual intervention, the mirror will progressively move to point downward over the course of a few days. The brake light warning come on despite the fact that the handbrake is not engaged. The catalytic converters have failed and needed to be replaced (Two separate visits to the Dealership). The rear sun-shade has failed and needed to be replaced. And of course, as was generally true for the 2002 models, two coils had to malfunction before all of them were replaced. Great fun to drive, but lousy quality control and repair record.
