I have a 2015 a4 avant 2.0t quattro s-line. With a tune and dsg tune.
I've had it for 6 years now. Not faultless but absolutely solid feeling and a great highway/road trip car. It was highly specified when new so it still has pretty current tech in it.
Issues:
Coolant expansion tank and coolant return lines from turbo @ 90,000 kays - not expensive
Dual mass flywheel replacement @70,000 klms = expensive (thousands with the transmission/ AWD service too)
Airbag system ECU failed @ 85000 , that was thousands again and a 9 week wait for the part from Germany ( I'm in Australia)
Brakes, go through pads every 20,000 and discs every 40,000.
Tyres wear well with a good alignment so my last set lasted 65000 - Michelin ps4 S but being on 19" rims tyres are expensive.
It drinks fuel at about 14 litres per 100 in urban driving. 6.8 on the motorway at 115 kph
Otherwise, still looks new to me, and the interior holds up well to kids.
