What is your location?
Is there certain motors that just suck but others are considered fine.
Diesel or petrol?
I would say that the 2,7 TDI or the 3,0 TDI are great engines, but only with Tiptronic or manual transmission. Multitronic(CVT) transmission were rather problematic.
The 2.0 TFSI had a very high oil consumption, so I would suggest to avoid it.

Finland. Petrol.
What if the 2.0 TFSI oil consumption problem has been fixed?

Avoid 2.0T cars like the plague. Those engines are riddled with problems and have multiple highly common failure modes. The Audi dealership nearest me replaces multiple 2.0T's every week, they stock three of them. That might be the highest failure rate engine produced in the last 20 years by any manufacturer.

So, you've gotten my consideration. plz Give me 6 minutes to deliberate about it XD

Problem with forums - people go there to seek help with issues on their cars and not praise how good they are. And on large quantity production cars a very small amount of owners actually go on forums - in general you can say that 5-10% of cars have issues, very rarely is there a problem with more than that.
If it's an engine and transmission that has been long in production (like Audis tend to have) you'll be likely to not have issues with it - you'll be more unlucky if you get issues.
Check the car, if it drives well and has a credible history and doesn't seem to leak all its fluids after a test drive, 90% chance you won't have major issues. (And if you do, fix it and be happy - most of the issues are easy and cheap fixes, it's the labour costs that get you - so find a good indie to fix your car)
Don't read too much on it, just check for the obvious problems and don't worry about the big risks/problems that might occur.
