Stay away from Audi. I have owned a delivery business. Everthing from Chevy, Ford and Toyota have given us satisfactory miles for the dollar. This Audi we own has now had over $4,000 in mechanical failures within 22,000 miles. Definatly not worth the money.

Do you drive a 2000 AUDI TT?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
