Personally I prefer a Toyota or Honda that rarely needs to be repaired
by anyone.
I've owned one Honda, bought new in '89. In almost 50k miles I had more trouble with it than the Explorer that came after it had in nearly 80k miles. Plus, the dealer told me that in order to keep up the warranty, I needed to follow the strict "bring it in every 75oo miles" service schedule in the warranty book. Even while the issues it had, including a clutch replacement brought on by a rear main seal leak, were all covered under warranty I spent plenty on "maintenance".
No, the current Audi won't be inexpensive to maintain. But it's a much better car than anything in the Honda or Acura lineup.
