Default QUATTRO!!!

I Guess this is just a post to see how many people actually appreciate Quattro and would recommend it to others also to tell your Quattro Audi stories of winter!! So here is my post;

It snowed yesterday not a little bit but a fair bit about 2 inches which is pretty good for a first snowfall. I drove on a highway and passed a truck as then I got into the city limits the truck pulled up to me at a red light and the roads were just covered! He steps on his gas so hard that the back end of his truck swung back and forth (it was a 4x4) and almost endedup in a ditch as I surely slammed my gas peddle and went past him listening to my very calming music and sitting in my luxurious car with heated seats as the guy tries to re-gain control. Quattro is by far more superior than any 4x4 or awd system out there. I had the traction control or ESP on the whole time and no matter how hard I stepped on the gas the car just went I ended up taking some corners pretty fast and the Quattro seems to amaze me every single time. It’s like falling back in love with my car all over again. So simply put all Hail Quattro!!!

yea there's no system that can stop a car on ice/snow its just physics which is why suv's have the highest winter crash rate. You may be able to speed off faster but ice will always be as slippery as ever

As I have stated before when I bought mine I was driving a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado. I live in the Pa mountains and the quattro amased me so much that My Jeep sat there all winter not even being taken out on the road. I finally ended up selling the Jeep and keeping the Quattro.

Snow? What's that?

I live in Washington, so the only weather terms I know are "rain" and "heavy rain".

HEY LEIFER...WHAT PART OF WASHINGTON YOU LIVE IN? I USED TO LIVE IN BREMERTON. I MOVED TO CHARLESTON SC ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO. GOING BACK TO THE SEATTLE AREA FOR CHRISTMAS THOUGH...CAN'T SAY I MISS THE RAIN.


DOES THE QUATTRO SYSTEM ALWAYS HAVE THE AWD ENGAGED OR DOES IT JUST KICK IN WHEN YOU ARE SLIPPING AND SLIDING?
