@oxon09 if your living somewhere where in the winter are icy snowy roads it might be better

noone says you should buy one

Co za beznadzieja. Test mierny jak sto pawianów. Nie mam nic do quattro a może i mam :D bo sam chcę kupić A6 w quattro. Ale na tamtej drużce to rowerem bym wciągnął tamten samochód :D kumpel wciągał moją półtora tonową Vectre z bagażnikiem pełnym worków z piaskiem z rowu małym fordem fiestą i dał radę dlatego ten test jest naprawdę totalnie cholernie beznadziejny :D

@oxon09 people who live in cold climates...snow and what not

[tbenwright]

The quattro system is amazing, it helps in the snow the most, while everyone else is struggling, i fly past them. It helps in rain to keep you more stable on the road.  it is worth it! I have one and will never go back!

@oxon09 on roads you can have: snow, water, dust, etc etc .... and there you need a 4wd system.

[oxon09]

Who needs to pull a car out of a muddy field every day? They need a 4x4.

It's not worth getting a Quattro for that one time in 3 years when it might be useful, if you only drive on the roads.

I like how Audi compares the fwd and awd with their own cars instead of using a different fwd car.
