I like our A6 4.2Q (2000) S80

even though the transmission reverse wouldn't at 39K miles.

AoA (Tischer in Silver Spring MD) put in a new transmission from Ingolstadt in only 7 weeks.

Sounds bad but they gave us a new 3.0 Avant and after awhile (when they beat up on the salesman who had it) we got a newish (3Kmiles) S6 Avant to drive for a couple weeks. I really didn't care WHEN they got the new trans in.

We've had minimal trouble with the V8 A6 although it did have the typical teething problems of a new model (couple cable problems with electronic trans and the sulphur/gasoline sensor issue).

I would agree the issue may well be the dealer attitude, sometimes the chemistry between the owner and the particular dealer/service department is bad. Tischer is a Porsche/Audi/BMW dealer so they're used to dealing with a...ummm, perfectionists so they seem to do all right.
