do NOT buy japanese! Thing is most people are delighted with Audi's. You may just have a car that's slightly rogue. My last car was brand new and I had six months of problems before It got smoothed out. However my new car is also brand new and in the year I have had it I have have had zero problems. Depends what your budget is really. Saab are a great option and we have had many in our family for as long as I can remember. They are VERY costly to service so bear that in mind but you'll be used to that what with having an Audi. Again, do not buy Japanese, you may as well have a sign on your head saying "Hey, I have no personality!!"
