RE: AWD vs FWD?
ofcourse it is, if you are going to use your car for performance reasons its a no brainer... I will never again buy another FWD car to use it as a performance car... I always get a huge grin on my face when I see my friend spinning the tires all through 1st in his FWD eclipse. and don't even think about rain... its like watching a clumsy puppy dog trying to run across a frozen pond lol
if your going to get a FWD and use it for performance than your going to have to build it to be able to get close to a quattro, i.e. limited slip diff. wider tires and so on.

I was stuck waiting behind a duelly pickup today who was spinning trying to get up a side street with a small incline, got tired of watching him slide around and pulled around him thru deeper snow w/o spinning.
Thats my reason for AWD.

I can't spin my tires even in the rain with awd. Never had a car that could even come close.

RE: AWD vs FWD?
are the quattro really THAT much heavier?i mean where its noticable in stock performance?can you really feel it in acceleration or corning?or both?Got my income tax back looking to buy and was wondering cause for quattro down here in tampa florida ive noticed its around 3 grand for a quattro more then fwd.Im not really looking for performance per se but would love the quattro if the 3 grand is worth the hassle.
Also is there more problems to look for if i were to buy a quattro compared to fwd?

i have a FWD tt, and i love it. was going to buy a quattro tt, but the one that i wanted was sold before i could buy it. if you can get a quattro, get it, and if its a 225hp, buy it!!!
