      Under $10k, enters the consideration fray.

            @st80mnd Love the design of these OG ones (de Silva: “The Audi A5 Coupé is the most beautiful car I’ve ever designed and is well on its way to becoming a design icon. I’m therefore thrilled by this accolade, as it also validates my hard work.”)

            No idea how reliable they are, though...

            Where's the timing chain? 😬

                  @adabofoppo Well, I'm already a financial supporter of my local BMW mechanic, so how bad could it be? I joke tho, as I already swore off Audi once, but I'll be damned if I'm not in love with the A/S 5. Also the BMW 335 coupe. Yum Yum.

                      @st80mnd I mean, it’s pretty in that color. But is it really $10K to own it?

                              As long as you buy knowing you have the money for the vet bills.

                                I’ve got a 2014 A4 sedan. Had it since new. No problems 6 years and 80k later.

                                I believe the earlier B8’s (2009-2010) had issues with piston rings and oil consumption. There’s a TSB for it. I would recommend an inspection, but if you get the all clear, these are great cars and super easy to live with

                                    If by scary, you mean fun, then yes. If you mean second, and third mortgage followed by bankruptcy, and the car still won't run, then yes as well.

                                      I always liked those. And that's the colour too. Is that the V8 one?

                                            @st80mnd I had a B8.5 A4 for a bit. No major issues, but continual tiny issues that annoyed the piss out of me.
                                            Electrical gremlins in the dash/radio, the washer fluid would empty itself onto my garage floor randomly, the brake reservoir cap 'failed' and it was a $85 part, randomly dead battery twice, stupid stuff like that on a two year old car.
                                            I didn't tolerate it long.

                                              @st80mnd You asked. It's too fancy for me, too much likelihood of expensive maintenance. At the very least, I'd investigate when last the transmission was serviced and how much that costs. Also, how much do brakes cost? Worth considering.

                                                    @st80mnd I'd go with the BMW. My friend went to look at the convertible versions of the A5 and 335. The 335 felt substantially better to drive and that's what he owns now. Both will be expensive but the BMW will probably be more enjoyable.

                                                      @krustywantout As a current BMW owner, I'm inclined to agree. However, I live in winter, so no rag top for me. to be fair, even If I lived in summer, I still wouldn't do drop top. I like my head, and I'm reasonably sure at some point in my life I will be upside down in a car.
