reliability of the allroad? or 2.7T

[Scott Sierakowski]

Chip it and the turbos will go kaboom, someday.  It just depends on
how you drive the car.

The bigger problem is the air suspension, it's problematic and
expensive to fix.  My father has one and it's a love/hate
relationship.  His has had 2 air bags blow out and the compressor.  If
not for audi assured he would have been down some serious cash.

I was just down tha same path for my wife and I opted for a a6 avant
because of the possible maintenance issues.
