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.
