The new S4 is quite tempting. Especially if available with the DSG. However, as I plan to do quite a lot of mileage on the car I have worries about the long term reliabitity. Does anybody have any experience with heavily used DSG cars ? Can the DSG handle 200 000km without huge financial injections/complete replacement etc. ?

There is NO DSG available for the S4. Only good old slush-o-matic.

Having in mind that DSG is five years in the constant production, I think that all those ''start problems'' are solved and that you don't have anything to worry about...
