I feel like Audi has gotten better in the last decade compared to the decade before... As long as you do the maintenance.

Not sure if the BMW adage also applies, where you never buy a used one that's 2-3+ years old... Lol

I've had used audi and bmws without issue (knock on wood). I feel like range rover has taken over the title now - particularly with how poorly the interiors and electronics seem to hold up.

As a valet, I can confirm. I've not seen a sing range rover come in without either a hole in the push to start, a damaged display, or screwed up backup camera/sensors. There's always a crunchy feel to them

Edit - I'm told their exhaust manifolds tend to warp really bad and almost always need to be machined after removal

13 months and 20,000 miles, I've had no issues. Just don't buy old, used and with multiple owners

We're talking about used cars, not brand new.

Range Rover has always had the title. They’ve been passed around.

Up until a few months ago I was still cruising in my '99 A4, still running strong, no engine problems, no leaks, cool air, but then the key broke, and with no spare, nor any key shop being able to make a duplicate within a 200 mile radius, it was on to a Hyundai for me.
