FWD vs. Quattro
I'm in the market for a new TT coupe (180hp), but I don't know if it's worth getting the Quattro or not. Maybe the FWD is good enough. (So I can use the extra money for aftermarket stuff) Any thoughts?

The extra weight of the haldex systems makes the 180 quattro underpowered.
If you go with quattro, I'd recommend going with the 225.
The FWD drivers seem to be happy with it overall, though the transmission, different from the 180Q, has been given to grinding.

depends on what you're looking for. in general my 180 FWD is plenty for my driving
would I love MORE POWER? Sure I would. Do I miss AWD in L.A.? Probably not all that much. How will you drive the car?
Don't listen to the snobs. If it's the money, get the FWD and be thrilled with the overall design of the car. It's a damn sight better an a VW.
If you live in a climate that would make the AWD a safety issue, well, then I guess I'd go for it.

EBB is the Guru on FWD and knows more about them than anyone else even though he doesn't have one
..but when you are as sharp as Dave is you don't need to learn things like other mortals you just sort of know them by the shear power of your intellect.
