I'd like to point out that CVT has nothing to do with quattro.

quattro = Audi's proprietary all-wheel-drive system

CVT = Continuously Variable Transmission = automatic transmission which does not have precisely set gear ratios

Comparing the two is like asking "Should I get leather seats or a turbocharger?"
Unless, for whatever reason, they're mutually exclusive which seems to be the case with the new Audis. I don't think you can get a "Multitronic" A4 with Quattro.

Well in that case, the entire question is nullified by the fact that only sissy-boys and sorority girls should buy a car with an automatic transmission of any kind.

Here's my 2 cents for whatever its worth........if you are looking at buying a FWD Audi with an automatic transmission to save a few bucks.......just buy a Passat and save a ton of cash, because in reality that's what you'd be buying anyway

No stick for me, this is my daily driver car for commuting in LA traffic. My "fun" (when its not in the shop) car is stick of course.
+1 to that! After 16 years of driving sticks (2 in LA traffic), it was time for an automatic. My personal driving environment and amount of time spent driving take precedence over a faster, sportier mode of transmission.
