Only problem is how terribly unreliable those Audi's are. Have you ever owned one or at least known someone that owned one? I've worked on them and they are seriously some of the biggest POS in the world when it comes to how some of the parts are designed. Almost every accessory and hose on the engine is made out of plastic. Stuff is engineered to fail soon after warranty expires so you end up almost rebuilding the whole engine to keep the car running as it was meant to. The worst part is that any small issue that can be fixed quickly on any Toyota is not the case on the Audi's. Half of the time if you're lucky you only have to remove the front half of the car to get to the parts that need to be fixed. Usually you aren't so lucky and the whole freaking engine has to come out of the car just to replace a small part! There is a reason why it costs so freaking much to work on German cars, it's a serious PITA!
I can't tell you how much I hate those cars lol.....
Maybe this needs to be added in the comparison....fastest car that will last more than 5-6 years without any serious break downs and the lowest service cost heh. I know quite a few of the GS4's on this forum here are 11-12years old and still going strong on mostly parts that came from the factory.
