Audi brake systems are not diy. To change the brake pads you need a computer hookup to retract the pistons. One of the reasons I'll never buy an Audi. My daily driver is an 05 Acura rl and my wife drives a 16 pilot, both are very reliable and easy to work on. I have a 86 911 that I can get my thrills with, although the RL is a blast to drive. Never would I own a modern German performance brand car, they are absurdly expensive to fix. Japanese, Korean and possibly American is the way to go if you plan on owning the car a long time. I usually own a car more than 10 years.
