Our data point on our Brabus is in 3 years and 20,000 ish miles .. we have had to replace two headlight bulbs !! .. Which is JUST Outrageous :)
I have 3 friends with Smarts that have all had major oil leaks needing engine rebuilds, plus 2 of them have had blown turbos - so they have been very expensive cars for them to run.
So we are just Lucky I guess

Wife has a TT for me to use, but i feel that there is no point having RS4 locked up and only used on the weekends.

Its just to good a car for that

a fellow owner who is part of the <4000/year club _ I actually thought about extending the expected mileage to 6/7000 just in case I want to go for a bigger trip or 2....
