 We are long term Audi owners.  We traded in the infamous A3 TDI and own A4, A5 and TT.  Honestly, the TDI was a great car.  Too bad it was spewing so much pollution and worse, Audi lied about it by calling it "clean".  So now we have an etron.  Although mechanically, this car is great, the software, communications and electronics for the hybrid are so extraordinary poor, I would not recommend this car to anybody.  The benefit of a hybrid, is so you can hopefully reduce your operating cost.  Electric companies provide significant savings for people who can schedule their charging their cars at night and at work.  However, the software and communications for the car must work to make that happen.  Audi's software simply does not work.  Yes, they are aware of the problems.  Yes, they are working on it.  However, after 1.5 months, they still cannot get it working and they have no idea when it will be de-bugged.  Thus, the benefits of having a hybrid simply do not exist with this vehicle.  The other most dangerous problem, is that the RFID keys "almost" work.  The etron matches the VIN number to the key.  However, if they do not communicate perfectly, the instrument indicates that it does not recognize the key and wont start.  Unfortunately, it does not do it all of the time.  So we now must carry both sets until they figure out the problem.  Perhaps this car will be ready 2017 or so.  We are fans of Audi, but this car is not ready for Prime Time.  We want our pollution spewing TDI back.
