All should last, Audis are notorious for both sucking and breaking and being extra expensive. I had an a3 for a while and had the transmission replaced three times in 140k miles. The first was under warranty, the other two were $8k. Transmission on my corolla was $3k.
Consumer reports publishes repair costs. Audis are much more than Honda/Toyota/Hyundai.
You can purchase an extended warranty for your Audi, it will cost 3x what it would cost on a Lexus or Toyota.
It’s a fun car to drive, but it costs much more to maintain.
That's one reason why I never go for base models or cheap luxury cars. The 2.0T is a notoriously bad engine, I would have gotten the A4 but wanted the reliability of the 3.0T V6 and so far, I've gotten it.
Again, you have to read, pick and choose the right model. Audi makes a lot of unreliable crap (Or at least used to a lot, in the past) so you need to weed it out.
