Default Insider question: What is Audi doing to really/effectively improve reliability?

Are they even the least bit focused on reliability as a goal? It seems like there's really something "wrong" there. Is it just me?

Default hey cfab9...

Saw that you were located in Raleigh. Come check out ncaudi.org! We get together on the first tuesday of every month at playmaker's to have beer, wings, and BS. Swing by next week, and maybe you, the Captain, and I can make some of the other audi guys drool. :-)

Default Sounds good! I'm actually on the list, I just haven't had a chance to drop by.

Should be able to make it next week, though. I think I saw your Avant down at Leith when I was picking mine up. Was yours the black one?

Default Yeah, proactive would've been nice, but I guess it's a little late now...

Since some of 'em are already busted.

Default It's like you've never owned a German car before.

They're cars with lots of personality and hit or miss reliability. If you want peace of mind, get thee to a Toyota or Honda dealership.

As for what Audi's going to do about it, I'm sure they've got engineers looking at what went wrong, and they'll implement running changes as warranted. If you still want an S4, wait until next year when the kinks will be better worked out.

Geez, why does the sky have to be falling everytime a new car model is released?
