2011 audi A5 2.0l TFSI coupe reliability

Hello guys, I’m planning to buy this automobile for $12,000 with 120,000 kilometers. How reliable will this be (I currently drive a Subaru)? I’m new to German builds.

I had one. Same model, same year, and similar kilometers.

It’s a beautiful automobile, but it has a lot of difficulties and will drain your budget.

Copying my previous comment:

In 2016, I purchased a 2011 A5 with 80k kilometers (an Audi-maintained vehicle with no past troubles). During the two years, I had that car, I had to deal with oil consumption, a TCT failure that damaged the timing chain, a misfire caused by a spark plug that was never changed despite multiple services, and a gearbox fluid pressure regulator failure that resulted in liters of fluid spilling onto my driveway.
