25,000 miles is very early for brakes to wear it seems. I guess the difference is the type of driving we do. I do about 80% or so highway so the brakes last a lot longer. My daughter has a Q7 and...

Please check past post, the 2.0 in 2012 was worse but the 3.0 had problems as well.
Hope Audi has found the cause and fixed it in 2013,14 and in the coming 15. It's a great car otherwise.

When test driving the 2012 BMW 535xi in early 2012, I was turned off by the turbo-lag at that time, which I hear has since been corrected. I also liked the styling of the A6 over the 535 and I am a...
