Default Buying New A6 S Line

Any suggestiosn on whether I should get my A6 s line with quattro. I test drove an s line car without quattro, was a great ride. Just wondering if its worth the extra $3K?

Default Depends. Got snow or heavy rains? Get QTR. Like to drive the car hard on the limits? Get QTR.

Buying the car but not keeping long and need better resale? Get QTR.

That said, a Front Trak car has a kind of delicacy and fluidity that a QTR car cannot match if you drive less than 8/10ths on a regular basis. The overall handling limits may be lower, but the chassis feels more transparent up to that 8/10ths.

Default Does audi still make FWD? Go Quattro.

Quattro, get the full potential out of your A6. Additionally there will less front end rise and rear end squat, with overall improved stability in all driving conditions. 4.2 is desirable as well.

Either way enjoy your new Audi.

Default But FWD quicker than quattro, esp if comparing Multitronic to Tip

Agree on the handling though - you have to contend with (minimal) torque steer on the FWD

Default If I recall correctly, only 20% of all Audi sales worldwide are QTR. In North America

where this has been used to differentiate the brand, about 80% of all cars sold here are QTR.
