I looked at reliability ratings for Audi in a Consumer Reports auto guide today, and it shows the ratings in over 10 categories for the past 10 years. Audi has been the most improved out of any, going from bad in every category to good in 2006. Most of my fears of reliability are gone.

Two more questions though: 2.0t or 3.2? I hear the 2.0t is noisy. And what is with the difference between tiptronic and multitronic?

Thanks again for the help.

if you plan on doing any engine modifications, the 2.0t is much more flexible. they called the 1.8t it replaced noisy but i didn't find it excessive by any means. if you like a reasonably quick car from factory and are satisfied with that, i'd go for the 3.2. these are pretty heavy cars so the added torque helps quite a bit.
