FWIW - if you want cheap and reliable, do not buy an Audi with the 2.0T engine - especially 5 years on either side of the 2010 models. Besides the piston problems (of which there was a class action lawsuit) and cost $6K (fortunately paid for during the 30 day warranty), we have had the car in the shop for a bad turbo, bad coils, bad hi pressure fuel pump, bad low pressure fuel pump and now it is in the shop again - it keeps dying on us (had to have it towed to the shop twice). We have $20K into a car worth only $10K with no end in site.
When it runs, it runs great and drives nice - when it runs.
But it is a money pit. The Audi/VW 2 liter turbo engines of those model years are just not good. I should have done my due diligence. Also, do NOT recommend buying or dealing in any way with the Audi/VW stealership in Beaverton.
