Default Can I live without Quattro, or will I hate it?
I drive a FWD now, but I'm looking at a sweet 2002 FWD A4. Will I totally regret not having Quattro?

I've never had any regrets buying my 98.5 FWD A4 and I love to drive it!

Default depends on what you want to do with it - if you plan on taking it to Tahoe or the
any other place that gets snow during the winters, then you might want it.

Default No offense to anyone with fwd, but I couldn't do it. RWD or Quattro.
For a car that I'd want to mod...the first requisite would be RWD, but I'd settle for Audi's Quattro since there are a LOT of benefits that come with awd.

Default This is one of the main reasons why I have Audis...
I would not get an Audi that is not a quattro.

No, I'd never buy a non quattro car again if I could avoid it.

Default After messing with TT's and R32's (Haldex) I have a new found respect for real Quattro . . .
well maybe not new found but just general dismay of Haldex.
