Can you spare a little cheddar?

I've had a couple Q7s and a Q5 as rentals, and they are my favorite cars now. I should stop reading this thread, because it makes me want to trade my Camry in on one.

Second gen Q5 is basically a lifted B9, they depreciate into the ground pretty fast so they're relatively good value especially if you're comfortable with routine maintenance. The 2.0T is very very easy to work on in that engine bay. Anecdotally they eat through brake pads faster than their B9 cousin though.

Coming from Toyotas that generally need very little maintenance and are easy to work on, how much of a punch in the dick are VAG products nowadays?

I wouldn't touch them in the early 2000s, but I've really liked my rentals.

The first and last time I went to a valvoline the tech sent me home with the oil filler cap sitting on top of my engine, they didn't even put it back on and close it they just took out the funnel and shut the hood I guess

I did this once when I was like 17. Oops!
