German automobiles are generally known for excellent workmanship and reliability. There are some glaring exceptions, such as your Audi. A friend back in college had a Karmann Ghia sports car, which was basically a Volkswagen beetle in a slightly spiffier suit of clothes which was repair-prone in the extreme. Added to that it was decidedly NOT a winter car, having one of the most anemic cabin heaters I can remember, and in Minnesota that meant being uncomfortable probably six months out of the year. It did look good though, and in the vernacular of the time was a "chick magnet".
