[@scottogan3182]

@jean paul I have had 4 in a row since 1995 and have had no issues with any of them. I put 170k miles each on the first 2 and still see them around town after I sold them. 3rd one 100k miles when it was totaled in a very bad 6 rollover accident that we all walked away from with minor injuries and yes it was for sure partly if not all due to the integrity of the vehicle that it ended this way. My current one is 10 years old now with 30k miles as I no longer work so don't put the miles on it like I did while still working and it is like a brand new car and has had zero issues. One key thing to longevity and reliability to any vehicle is how you maintain them. If you treat them badly they will perform badly. 4 in a row can not just be a luck thing. Just saying. Not in any hurry to change my current one but when the time comes it will for sure be replaced with a 5th one.

[@SanketHange]

Yep, learned my lesson on this with my old A3. Cheap to buy, ridiculous to maintain. Water pumps (there are two) failed at 60,000 miles and cost two grand. And it still leaked oil and coolant. Great car to drive, no fun to live with.

[@rschneid1996]

I have a 2008 A3 with the VR6 that has treated me well. I do baby it which I am sure helps. What year was your A3 ?

[@tddup657]

$1000 per water pump is not bad. We have a 2016 mondeo (fusion) from new with full service history. The water pump failed it cost $1000 plus towing. Headlight bulb replacement was $400 because the bumper has to come off. Even regular traffic cars cost to maintain

[@therevenant320]

Purely anecdotal but I owned a 2014 A6 for 4 years and 60k miles. Never had single problem with it. Just did the manufacturers suggest maintenance and it ran like a dream. It was the 3rd Audi I had owned at the time and all of them were completely problem free.

Ya theyre well made from my experience too. My dads A6 runs like a dream after 125.000 miles, with only one small repair Just recently. Our audi has just had normal maintenance every 6 months, and oil changes every 18.000 miles i think. Its an Audi A6 2013, 2.0 liter 4 cyl diesel with a manual gearbox People and the statistics always say to avoid the germans but ive always seen them run often very good if maintained properly, but i dont know. Its very contradicting. Taxis are often mercedes E classes, and they somehow make often more than 300.000 miles. Either im crazy or the statistics are just a bunch of bullcrap.

[@sstjacques]

Most reliable car i ever owned was my 2014 Mercedes C300 that I bought used with low miles in 2014 and still have it in 2022. I do my own work and the only thing it really needed was brake pads and brake fluid flush along with yearly oil changes and the air filter change every 2 years since i only put 7k a year on it. Front brakes are by far the easiest car to change on the C300, compared to my Fords and Audi. Did front break pad swap in 30 min, they come out and in like a freaking Atari cartridge.

I bought a cheap used Edge to drive back and forth to work about 3 years ago and I have great appreciation for this thing. Not only is it reliable (no major problems yet after 70,000 miles), but oil change also doesn't cost me $300!

[@mridc]

@@jimbell122 For what it's worth, I own a 2013 XK and I have only minor issues with the infotainment, like the system forgetting that a USB drive is plugged in. Other than that, everything is in good condition though. From what I hear, the Ford era models are generally rather reliable, at least XF and XK. Never looked into the XJ, so that might just be the odd one out. A neighbour of mine owns an F-Pace and says it's been one of the more reliable cars he's owned, coming from mostly BMWs. Range Rovers are a bit hopeless though :(

I've had nearly every brand of German car, more than once. But as the 90's came, the quality took a huge nose dive. I'm a Lexus guy now, it's pretty awesome to not be on a first name basis with everybody in service as well as their wives and kids, exchanging Christmas cards every year. A realtor friend drives nothing but Audis. I don't think he's had one as long as a year (he leases). He had one A6's engine blow up - literally - at 17k miles. I guess if you're ok with leasing it doesn't matter. I like to buy a car and drive it until the wheels fall off.

[@missayawk]

Same. Owned many of ze Germans but, after starting a family and not feeling like having cars in the shop all the time, went Lexus and didn't look back. Lexus cars don't drive nearly as well as my previous Audis or GTIs or have that feel of passion, but something about only needing oil changes and even those are cheap(ish) to do PLUS the level of service at the stealership for repairs that cost less is outstanding.

The current one's a supercharged XE, and at 73,000 miles it hasn't blown up or anything yet! Indications are it'll be good for a fair while yet. Thing with used luxury cars is that they usually have odd service requirements that the OEM doesn't disclose and sometimes just doesn't know about.

I change my oil every 7500, and everything else ABSOLUTELY gets flushed out every two years, regardless of low miles or not. Hey, the way i see it, buying $200 worth of oil and spending three days to swap them all is still a LOT easier than buying a new car and working years to pay off the loan + sticker value.
