One thing I never ever do, is sell our car as the most reliable money can buy. I would always pitch it like this, "Mr. Smith, I am not going to lie to you and try and claim we have the most reliable vehicle on the road. I can however claim to have a car in the upper echelon of safety. I am sure you and your family can appreciate that fact. At the end of the day, I would prefer to make on extra trip to the shop for a repair (which is likely covered by warranty anyway) and keep the lower halves of my legs in a front end collision. Have you had a chance to visit IIHTS site? Why don't we do that right now and compare our German engineered car, designed to survive a crash at Autobahn speeds, to that Honda Civic designed for the slowest highway system in the world."
Some people value more than reliabilty. That is why not everyone has a Maytag. I have Bosch stuff, because is is more stylish, and way cooler looking.
To answer the question you actually asked. Audi will be similar, but the more equipment it has, the more it is likely to break. If you compared an A3 to a GTI, they would fare almost identically.
