I've recently purchased an A4TQM 99.5 and been on this board for about 2-3 weeks. I love my car. Before this the only cars I've owned were a Nissan 240SX and a VW GTI 16V which I've driven to the ground. The two cars were pretty low maint. for what they were.

What I have noticed is that a lot of people here on this board own several cars, either VWs or Audis, BMWs and others. I wanted to know your opinions and experiences with other cars, what do you think of Audis, especially the A4s commpare to the other car makers, on reliability and ownership costs? Try your best not to be bias?

The reason I'm asking is that I want to know if I should recommend a relative to buy an A4 Vs other cars. I just don't want to be bias.
