I had an Audi TT for 14 years. It was fairly low maintenance with the only major issue a new alternator. But, I was on a Audi TT Forum and did a lot of the little repairs dealing with sensors and electrical gremlins with the help of other members. I'd say if you want to have a European car for several years, get with a online group to help you with minor issues and be ready to get your hands dirty.
