I was thinking about sticking your thread, and then thought it would be nice to have contrasting experiences as well. I think if we combine the two threads it could be an informative sticky. We'll see how this one plays out.

I've never really heard of headlight/foglight problems, tranny's are reliable as long as you don't beat on them constantly.

And never heard of a QUATTRO problem
