I drive a 2003 A4 and by far the best car I have ever owned or driven (but have never driven a BMW).

So far the performance both summer and winter has been outstanding and have had great luck from a maintenance perspective.

Audi's under warranty have no cost maintenance. And when you do have to pay for oil changes, with synthetic oils, they recommend only changing yearly.

We bought our Audi a year old, so save about $15K from new and would likely go that route again if we get another (and we likely will). At some point we will have to replace our MDX and I am thinking the Q5 would work nicely.

PS - and I have great service from Glenmore Audi - work always done on time for what they said and great drop off/pickup service.
