short answers are AWD is when all 4 wheel get engine power, quattro is audis version of AWD which uses a torsen center diff and 50/50 torque split and 40/60 on the newer cars. 4WD is for SUVs and is basically 2WD and then a transfer case that engages 4WD.TFSI stands for Turbo Fuel Stratified INjection, which basically mean that fuel is injected right into the cylinders instead of through the intake plenum which creates a cooling effect allowing higher compression ratios and resulting in more power less fuel. look in the manual or look at the turbo to see if you have a turbo A4. tiptronic is automatic with a side for +/-. Tiptronic is audi/VW (porsche actually) iteration of a an automatic with a mode so you can shift manually. while not as fun as a real clutch car still allows user to shift.
