In the market for my first car. Any thoughts on the 2017-2019 Audi a4 allroad? Looking for a reliable, reasonably priced, sporty wagon with CarPlay. Probably looking for something under 50k miles

Audi is anything but reliable. Go Japanese or Hyundai.

From what I’ve read so far, this version of the a4/a6 has been pretty good for reliability so far. Also there aren’t any Japanese or Hyundai wagons on the market in the us to my knowledge

A German wagon diehard here (6 wagons in the last 15 years in the family). We had a ‘19 a4 allroad that we love but got rear ended/totaled by a distract driver. We replaced it by with the ‘24 version. German cars will be reliable as long as you can keep up with maintenance. Go for it if you are hands on, or can rely on a good indy shop nearby. Also recommend to look at the Golf alltrack. Avoid the previous model A4 though.

Love the A4 in general. Moved to a BMW X3M, but still miss the mighty A4. Its an amazing car.

allroad is nice, the quattro tech makes it so that you don't really have to slow down for sharper turns

That is not how Quattro or any AWD system works lol you have your tires to thank for that

Would also take a look at the A5 sportback as well. Same chassis and still has a good amount of space. Bought a used '20 with 30k miles for half off earlier this year and it's been great.

Been welding for my company for 13+ yrs and I think it’s time for a change. The culture has completely changed and became toxic. My dream is to go independent do mobile/rig welding and repair then potentially have my own shop/store front. I have all the equipment and truck setup to start but don’t know where or how. I am certified to pipeline (API 1104) code in dual processes (GMAW, SMAW) as well as an AWS CWI and a CPWI. Any advice/input is greatly appreciated!!
