I know it was a tongue in cheek answer, but my BTDT with comparable
age/mileage Japanese cars owned by friends and relatives don't bear this
out at all.  On a atoyoT and adnoH of similar age (and MUCH less mileage)
than the Audi's, maintenance was just as intense, and parts were actually
harder to get and more expen$ive most of the time.  I would have to give
the Honda a much bigger nod than the Toyota (both 1989's), especially
when it came to parts prices and availability.  This doesn't even take
RUST into account.  Both the Honda and Toyota are long gone to the big
bone yard (thankfully) in the sky, and the Audi's are still on the road.
