Maintainence wouldnt run you any more then the G35 or TL
Having spent countless hours tracking down electrical gremlins on A4s as new as 2004, I can tell you this statement is grossly incorrect.
I really like Audis and would sincerely love to own one. I think the points you make are all great ones. My wife likes Audi too.
I just don't trust them as a brand, and even if they fail at the same rate as the TL or G35, the parts and specialty tools required to fix them are much more expensive than the alternatives.
It's great that you have had a good experience with yours though!
