2016 engine / transmission problems. To buy or not
Looking at a 2016 z51 convertible with low mileage. Have seen a few blimps about engine and automatic transmission problems. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

2016 Z51 A8 Bought with 2700 miles 14 months ago, now has 7400 mi, and never a problem. The auto worked flawlessly but I got the Range about 4 months ago and like it staying in V8 mode all the time. It's been nothing but smiles for me so far.

Is there anything about this car that says the tranny is marginal? Or even less than good? Have you had it checked out by a mechanic that has no vested interest?

Buddy of mine has a '15 C7 A8 - with 79,000+ miles - zero problems. Mine's a MN7 but I too have 79,000+ miles on my car - also zero problems.
