Audi's Quattro and tip is very reliable.
 
CVT is another ballgame. Lots of quirks with this tranny. CVT does not have a torque convertor. It feels a bit weird off the line and people complain about the lag and jerky nature of the starts. Very smooth on the highway, but stop and go is irritating to some.
 
I would never own a CVT out of warranty or Audi Certified.

NEVER, EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BUY AN AUDI ! ! !
Last year I leased a 2008 A6 with the CVT. I am on the third transmission in 6000 miles. the change of trannys happened after repeated confrontations with the dealer in Miami which denies any problems and treats the customer like an imbecil. The is still having the same problems. When complaining to Audi they send me to their lawyers...REAL NICE ! ! !
This has been the biggest nightmare
