In addition to what appears from normal to be high oil consumption, at least for my Audi, I am also seeing coolant loss, not much, but I have had to add coolant which means head gasket issues. This car was not abused by the previous owner, it has now only 96k and in nice shape. Also worn are front end suspension parts. I have owned many cars from new and never had any of these issues, even at 200k, and am becoming disappointed in this car very quickly. I bought it with 92k thinking it should be trouble free for at least another 60k, the usual time one begins to replace front end parts, but head gaskets, front end parts, and high oil consumption, had I known, I would have steered well away from this car.
