If you don't have a button for ESP which is right beside the front & rear foglight buttons you do not have ESP (traction control)

Sometimes, in snow, I don't even know if the roads are slick until see other cars sliding around. Audis are awesome in snow! WAY WAY better than 4X4 trucks. Those idiots in big trucks and SUVs think they can drive faster than the rest of us because they have 4 wheel drive. Well ALL cars have four wheel brakes. Those SUVs don't handle as well in snow as well as Audi's either.

Just don't get over confident! Slipery roads are still dangerous inm any vehicle.

I never see Audi's that aren't quatro. I was thinking that all Audi's were quatro.

ESP = electronic stability program, is separate from traction control.

I love watching Q's racing with front wheel or rear wheel drive cars so much fun how they just take off like nothing is going on, in the rain or snow. a beautiful scene to see, i had a 96' Quattro it was a beautiful car but then i got tired of it not wanting to spin out (it was automatic) so i got 01' 1.8 FWD its beautiful

i drove around an audi (quattro) today... stuck in the snow. not bashing audis here dude, i obviously love em (else i woudn't be here...?). sure they're more capable than most cars, but when it comes to snow and offroading... don't kid yourself, an SUV will be superior anyday

Maybe it was the driver and not the car. [sm=teetertooter.gif]
