Without a doubt Audis are nice, I enjoyed working on them a great deal. They are packed full of the highest technology, with very nice interiors. I have NOT found them to be reliable, although we see only all the problems as dealer techs, a lot of stuff is covered up and goes unsaid until warranty is up like ridicoulous oil leaks on brand new '10-'11 models, loose main bearing bolts from the factory, noisy engines and CVT trannies refusing to accelerate. Any company has issues and Audis handle so so well. They really drive like a dream when it comes to cornering. They are just too pricey and luxurious for my taste, almost 200k for an R8 that makes 425 hp.... no way. Their company philosophy when it comes to technicians also is not compatible with my being a human being LOL. But it's been a privilege and great experience and I totally proved that I can hang with anything they throw at me as long as necessary, but I walked away because at the end of the day I'll take a challenge that's rewarding... not just for the snob customer and top heavy company (rant lol)
