Reliability aside, over the course of 7+ years, maintenance prices for the Audi is going to be significantly higher (as with all European cars when comparing them to Japanese) than the Subaru.
Many Audi owners will swear by the reliability of their cars, a couple of my friends included. But when asked to cough up receipts estimating yearly operating costs of a 5 and 8 year old Audi, you can see why they are so attached to their cars...they have to be with all the money they have put in them. All joking aside, the fact is it costs more to fix a European car. Now having said that, Audi has one of the best bumper to bumper warranties for the first 4 years. You won't even pay to have a wiper blade replaced. But if something breaks after your warranty is up....
