just realize that everyone has an opinion...looks like both sides of this argument are getting inflamed over the presentation of opinions. <p>When stating your OPINION (you know who you are), try to do it in a non---'inflammatory, I'm right, you're not only wrong, but possibly mentally impaired, blind, high on crack' way! Fer cryin' out loud. Quattro is great. FWD is great. happy?<p>steve <---FWD w/ASR, no snow, no auto-x, no racing, no bleeding edge of driving performance, and $1650 (or so) in the bank. YMMV.<p>BTW, if I were to auto-x (which is seriously being considered with a buddy of mine), it for sure will not be done in any 4-door sedan.

it's always something around here. Chips, brake pads, oil, quattro ... this is a rowdy bunch!<br>

Speaking for myself, when I disagree with someone It isn't a personal attack and it doesn't mean I don't like them, just a disagreement. You have to take everything lighthearted.
