      How? Its been 28 years... How do you know they're still doing it? Nobody from the team that built your car is probably there anymore... And what do you think is so special about a car lasting that long? Ive had fords older than me, lasting 40years+ on the road... In my experience, its quite hard to find a brand that doesnt put a lot of focus into build quality. Audi is not special in that regard. Not compared to the other germans at least.

Are they perfect without any service issues at all ever...NO, I had a couple friends that didn't listen, kept pushing off the regular scheduled maintenance, which would have been a couple hundred dollars ($780 to $900), BUT because they pushed it off for to long, one had a timing belt issue which ended up costing them nearly $3,000, of course they went nearly 60,000 miles OVER the timing belt, water pump, tune up, etc service, so that was on them, but aside from that, pretty much all my friends have been very, very happy with their Audi's. One of my friends wives is really pissed because her husband keeps "borrowing" her A6 which I helped her pick out, because her husband doesn't like driving his new Corvette in Michigan bad weather and his excuse is that she doesn't have to leave the house, or if she does, its not far that she would have to drive, so she can take the Corvette (which only upsets her more as if she wants to go grocery shopping she has to get a baby sitter for the 3 kids so she can fir at least some amount of groceries in the limited space in the Corvette. I do not have this space issue with either my Audi A6 or even my Porsche 911 C4 (which can fit a shocking amount of groceries), and as for materials, fit and finish, quality of that finish and so on, you will be hard pressed to find better quality unless you step up to Rolls Royce, Maybach, or something of that caliber.

      @@TheJamesBond I don't care, only 10 years as mechanics...you could combine both and my main VW/Audi mechanic would still have more than 15 years experience on top of that number as he's been working at 4 different VW/Audi/Porsche dealerships since 1987, and Mike P. knows his stuff, add in my Porsche mechanic, Danny, who's got 28 years experience and I'm all set. These "new" bucks that have only been mechanics for less than 15-20 years are NOT yet great at either the maintenance & service & sales stuff, give them another 10-15 years and they'll change their tune. If you think your better off with a USA or UK made vehicle, I've got a Range Rover Discovery sitting in 1 of my garage bays that won't do jack squat after a Land Rover supplied ECU update, NO Start, NO Crank, No nothing, just a giant paper weight, where as my Audi A6 is going onto 250,000 miles, and my Porsche 911 C4 is creeping up to the 200,000 mile mark.
      Now with that said, my main UPS driver that has worked there since he was 19, and he's 63 now (he retires for about 5 weeks last year but got so bored, and the UPS depot he's out of couldn't find good driver, he came back), bought a new top of the line fully loaded Ford F-150 4x4 (some limited edition) for a hair over $97k, and it's left him stuck multiple times in the past 3 months with an issue with the cylinder cut off computer, instead of turning off just half of the cylinders to save fuel, it has been shutting off the entire motor, and this is a year and a half old truck, and warranty doesn't do him much good when most dealerships up here are CLOSED on the weekends and the nearest one is a good 30 mile tow or drive for him and don't even get me started on the guys Tesla Model S at work, it's going on its fifth year, he ordered it back in 2015/2016, and finally got his allocation in late 2018, and it was fine for about 8 months, then all the electronic gremlins started in on him, and as for speed, it's NO top speed demon, as even my 2000 Porsche 911 C4 can beat him on top speed, and although he can easily pull away from me doing a realistic 0-60 in around 2.4 seconds (real world, not some pampered, prepped test track) where as my trusty old 911 C4 takes around 3.9 to 4.2 seconds to hook up (keep in mind my 3.4l F-6 is NA and only has around 320-338 (on the dynamic at Ramchargers in Troy Michigan) Horsepower and his Tesla has nearly 3 times that in "Ludacris" mode, which I believe is called that due to the time it takes to engage the fast launch system, as the batteries have to either cool or warm and it does a bunch of other wizardry which usually take 8 to 12 MINUTES!!! No real Racer is going to wait around for nearly a quarter of an hour while you setup your Tesla for 1 run, but my point is that currently for a reliable vehicle, I and many others would still go with Audi or some VW group car, even a Lamborghini, like my buddies LP560/4 Gallardo (that thing is going on over a decade old) and it's still a fun machine, despite people that know poking fun at him because some parts like the air filter box have a "VW" symbol stamped in them. Modern cars are, like biden & everything the democrats touch or push legislation on, a slow, unreliable, expensive piece of $H!T, so think about that when you talk to your 2 mechanics with a combined experience that is 10+ years LESS then even mine.

    the reason the 7 series doors only go a little bit when you try to auto open them from the outside is due to where you are standing when you press the button. the car tell the door is gonna hit something so it stops itself. try stepping off to the side and hitting it and it will work.

      @@minigiant8998 oh man that’s always been a thing.. not since the beginning but that’s Audi’s strong point. It’s debatable between BMW tho, because you won’t get into a BMW that’s poor quality. So I’d say BMW and Audi are around the same. The only reason Audi would succeed better is there use of materials. Audi often uses better materials and every single car comes with real leather as apposed to BMW, but still they’re head on with each other. Mercedes is known to be very creaky and despite the great leather and nice features a lot of their interior parts are cheaply made.
