Also to be fair, you cant compare a 10 year old audi (200) to a new Honda. I
have had both vehicles of equal vintage (90 accord and 91 20V 90). The Honda was
in the shop more often and the bills for repair were outrageous. It was the
first and last honda we ever had. Im not saying it was in the shop all the time,
just more often than the Audi.
Comparing a new A4 to a new Accord is probably more of an equal comparison and
Im guessing reliability of either are quite good and comparable.
