Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fun Semi Daily Driver?

[LS (lashdeep]

Great car and the wife loves them.

They are the furthest from bulletproof though...maybe the worst reliability and engineering of any car producer?

I had a pristine, dealer serviced A4 a few years ago. Absolutely beautiful and fun to drive but there couldn't have been one engineer involved with the design or execution of that car.

The number of failures were so bad...electrics, oil leaks, sludge, control arms, ignition parts, interior surfaces, etc.

On one of my last drives in the car, the key got stuck in the ignition and wouldn't come out.

WTF?

How long have car companies been making keys and ignition switches? Audi didn't have that figured out by 2004?

Just a common sense reaction...

Porsche is prob the only German car we could consider gambling on.

Actually, come to think of it, has anyone brought up the Audi S4? Fun to drive, four seats, comfortable, bulletproof, and in your price range.

We have lots of diehard Porsche buddies.

We've seen and heard the full spectrum with regards to reliability.

On one end are stories such as Adam's $100k flight of fancy to absolutely bulletproof, repair free experiences with the usual stealership maintenance situations.

My wife has had a Boxter but I've never had a P before.

Having said that, even the average of all of the stories is pretty dismal.

Honestly, as a seventh car, we don't want to gamble. This car needs to get my wife to work on a regular basis. I would rather save the maintenance budget for another exotic in the spring.

Lots of noise on this topic. My fun daily driver is an '08 Cayman. Best built car I have ever owned.
