My wife is an Audi lover, drives Q5. I hate it :)

Don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful car, but it very expensive to maintain. I have done this for the last 20 years with 3 different Audis. A4 and two Q5s. In addition now after riding them for 20 years I don’t like the stiff ride anymore especially after my recent surgery. I am definitely not a spring chicken anymore and I don’t want to feel every bump in the road. 

Just pre-covid new cars in the $40K range and suddenly now they are $60K range. Nothing else in the consumer goods market has this level of inflation in 5 years!
