I agree... I only wish there is an alternative for quattro... ->>>>>>>
Audi seems to be the ONLY option in the luxury arena.
I think 4Matic and xDrive are just wannabe.
Subaru and Mitsubishi are just not in the same class.
If it wasn't because of our Winter, I would never have considered an audi.
Heavy, low residual, high interest rate, low resell, average reliability, below average fuel economy etc...

What?
An AWD is just an AWD. Just because "Quattro" sounds better than xDrive or 4matic doesn't make it better. There may be differences in how the power is distributed to the front and rear wheels, but you ain't gonna notice them.

Think it's more Torsen > Haldex/xDrive/4Matic etc
Isn't Torsen mechanical and always driving 4 wheels vs most of the other systems which are usually 2WD flipping to 4WD when traction loss is sensed.

Adding to the cost of buying...
- trade in value.
This guy was offered about $6,000 for a '04.
What is that? Over 85% depreciation in 5 years?
Obviously the cars are overpriced when new to generate such rapid depreciation. This example from the States.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/809176.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/809176.phtml</a</li></ul>
