General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Not so much. It's been in the shop for various reasons 25 days in the first 8 months of ownership. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
From what I read and hear from Audi owners, these are not cheap to maintain, and the maintenance is a little too frequent. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 250-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed automated manual AWD |
There seems to be a steady parade of high dollar systematic issues with Audi vehicles. Every vehicle has maintenance issues, but this Audi has had design problems (sunshade, roof trim, ign coil, roof trim, HID bulbs). |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 105hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD |
Audi is not listed in car makers reliability top 10. They are known to have various problems, definitely not the choice to go for if reliability is your top priority. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Audi has a reputation for selling maintenance-intensive cars and having owned several VWs I was not looking to Audi for being the most trouble-free option. |
