This is generally true for me as well and Cara observed it years ago.

2000 A4 bought new, kept 4.5 years.

2004 330Ci leased new, kept 16 months then transferred out.

2006 Porsche Cayman S, bought new kept 5 years.

2010 Audi A4 2.0T, bought new, kept 4 years.

2014 Audi S4, bought new, traded at 19 months.

The only used purchase I have kept at new car length was the e46 m3, at 5 years. Most are far shorter, but it would take forever for me to do the stats.
