Im looking at two different '03s. One is a black on black 1.8T with automatic, the other is blue on grey 1.8T quattro with manual.

Does anyone have any insight into the different transmissions? I like the looks of the black on black, but ive heard that the manual is a better ride than the auto. What about the quattro? I live in Canada so snow is an issue, but does it slow the car down? Any recommendations/insight?

Thanks all!

 

Omg, get the quattro manual all the way.

Manual is gobs of fun, and quattro is what made audi famous. The increased traction even in dry cornering is amazing.Especially if you live in Canada, this is a no brainer. 1.8tqm accept no substitues or imitations.
