Totally different cars.. I had an A4 my sister has a '00 GLX 4-motion
Just to name a few differences. Warranty longer on A4. Suspension sportier on A4. Doorlocks are quieter/silent on A4. Dash is nicer. Vanity mirror is smoother when opening. The moonroof switch is better on A4. Dash lighting is red and not blue. Trip computer has more features and not just dummy lights. I could go on ..
The only thing the Passat has is that it is larger interior.

exactly. the B5 A4 is the passat done right...or more accurately
the passat is a waterdowned A4 thats bigger, but still a fine family sedan, especially with the 4motion(torse dif in teh passat).

If you're asking about 4Motion vs. quattro, specifically ... they're identical!
The 4Motion system used in the Passat is the same quattro IV system on A4s ... the 4Motion moniker is simply a marketing/branding tool.
In fact, the B5 A4 and Passat are built from the same platform, with identical mechanicals (30-valve 2.8 V6) and similar chassis elements, though the Passat is slightly longer and softer sprung.
