After my Audi I learned I'm never buying another German car. Hard to work on myself, absurdly expensive for the shops to work on them, parts are very expensive.

After my Audi I learned I'm never buying another German car. Hard to work on myself, absurdly expensive for the shops to work on them, parts are very expensive. Since most owners seem to be "of a demographic" that does not mod/repair their vehicles, the online community pales compared to some other brands where this is a bigger part of the ownership culture, IME. Yes, I know there are passionate Audi modders and repair forums out there, but I'm referring to a percentage of the ownership base and in comparison to communities around other makes. The Audi was great fun to drive though, no denying that. Just different priorities in what I want out of a car.
