Would you have bought an Audi if you didn't need Quattro - like live in SF Bay Area like me?

Need? Really, any of us could get by with a Yugo. But if Audi didn't have Quattro, I be driving...
...something with better balance, something RWD that has half a fighting chance at understeer.
Like most people here, you don't need Quattro in SF, but Quattro sure is nice have in the rain.

It's helped me out a few times when I've taken a corner too fast.
Hitting the gas instead of the brake and getting bailed out of corner that I probably would have crashed in a RWD vehicle.
Oh yeah not denying the push/understeer that is typical from most Audi's.

The road car came second
I started with Audi's with rallying. It was years ago before John Buffum was even driving the TR8. Once I saw the Audi it was love at first sight. It was only a matter of time before I had one.
Once I got the first rally car I became so familiar with working on them it was a natural progression. By the time you buy all the diagnostic equipment, tools it makes sense. Plus you just get used to how they're built and what to expect.
Where I live Quattro is very nice. I also have a Dodge 4wd truck and whatever I drive has to have 4wd. We get enough snow and bad weather that you'd be crazy not to.
