I have a 2010 s4 with dsg and it had a gear selector lever position sensor quit. Because it's stuffed inside the trans, its a trans out and cases split repair. And it's just a very DIY non-friendly car, I'd rather have a 335i. I also have mk5 jetta 2.5 and it's full of triple Square bolts. I don't enjoy working on it either. Example - I did rear brakes on it recently, it totally sucked. Before buying this "ducking" s4, I was looking at b8 a4s, could not find anything not burning oil and without timing chain stretched and with 6mt.
Can't comment on Porsches. As for the Ducatis, these were bought by VW and are not really designed in Wolfsburg or Ingolstadt. I would not really consider one either having ridden only Japanese sportbikes before. However, I would consider BMW motorcycles.
