I must say this is one of the most reliable and enjoyable vehicles I have owned. It never breaks down and just requires regular maintenance. As for people complaining about noisy brakes, I find this only occurs if the pads are not properly bedded. As other posters said, they are unwilling to do five or six fast stops from 60 mph to 20 in succession on a deserted road. If they did this, as recommended by the Audi dealer, this would bed the brake pads properly.

I bought this vehicle as a used car from a family member and have loved it. It gets decent gas mileage. I use it daily for my commute to work in and out of Los Angeles. The car has been very durable and has not needed as much maintenance as much as thought it would. I have enjoyed it on long road trips as well to Las Vegas and San Diego. Eventually, I plan to trade in my current model for a newer one at the dealership.
