One of my apprenticeship buddies actually told me a joke about those. "What do audi sedans and modern society have in common? The trannies die off quickly when exposed to the slightest bit of pressure."
Do Audis that deliver power to the rear wheels have that problem?
I'm not entirely sure. I know the front-wheel/automatic ones constantly have issues though and are nigh-impossible to own where it snows heavily. They're beautiful cars, but have a lot of extremely flimsy parts that are either weaker than similar models or rust very quickly and in turn become flimsy.
(I also have a bit of a story about these, tldr: I'm doing an automotive apprenticeship). Someone brought in a 2015 audi a3, complaining that they couldn't achieve decent speeds even when the gas was all the way down. We lifted the car, checked the transmission and heard a rattling. When we took it out, the connecting rod and 2 of the bolts holding it in place were broken in two seperate places. The car had about 40,000KM on it, yet already had one foot in the grave.
Oh I was thinking the problem was with AWD. At least, the only Audis that I'd ever buy, unless really old, are AWD. Maybe they aren't, mostly.
I know about them having a lot of expensive problems, though. But that's true of the "good" ones as well.
I mean transmission and engine problems, especially in the finnicky cars, are expensive though. I know with certain kinds of nissans, especially the bigger sedans and mid-range SUV's, you have to take out the entire engine in order to work on some of the parts and/or replace things like the timing belt. Because it's incredibly exausting labor and requires you to do a bunch of things, a $50 repair on a similar car like a corolla could cost north of $400 for the same thing on it.
