Especially to us, she coming from an '85 300d and me an '84 300d. The rear window wiper was the final straw for me. It was designed so that it clogs easily, traps fluid and fries the motor. We traded the audi in on a 2007 4runner, it goes well with our 2002 tundra, they're easy to live with.

Most of the cars I've owned have needed oil added between changes. 2000 miles to be down a quart isn't bad. I had a Sammy once that took a quart every 200 miles.
