    What's the cheapest (market price) most reliable used audi? Don't say the B5 or B6 A4 cause I've already owned both and want something different.

    Re: Cheapest Most reliable audi

    probably an a3 considering it's the cheapest audi in general. you know something will fail with it eventually since it's an audi, so logically one would expect something going wrong on an a3 to be cheaper than something going wrong on an a8.

    Re: Cheapest Most reliable audi

    are you asking about new Audi's or in general?

    I love A8's and they seemed to be pretty reliable

    if you want to go back a little, those Audi 90's and 80's were also fun cars

    a C5 A6 4.2 would be also quick and reliable

    B6 3.0's are good as are S4 V8's

    You need to give more details. What are your intentions with the Audi (daily driver, daily driver/performer, flat out performer)? Whats your budget like?

    Cheap and reliable don’t really go together when talking Audi. Also. Do some research. Stupid thread. Especially to say. Don’t say b5 or b6 A4 cause I’ve already owned both... well ok buddy guy no one asked. If you’ve had multiple Audi’s do some of your own research then.
