Why is it bad? Have you ever driven a FWD B5?
If you live in an area like SoCal there's no real need for AWD. We don't get snow. And usually when I go up to the mountains to ski/snowboard the roads are plowed, haven't ever needed chains on the B5 or the Camry I drove before.
In other regions FWD might be less desirable, but a blanket statement is useless.

cause its a blast and badass!! i mean i dont NEEED it but i needed it lol.
i mean like when you tell people " i have an audi" they say "cool"
when you say "yea i have a quattro audi 1.8T" then they say " oh damn for real? that **** is legit!'
i've have got more respect from douchbags in vettes and for "mustakes"
and chevy slomaros just cause its a qauttro. plus my beautiful slilver stylish but slow like 180HP quattro can still launch on gt mustangs.. so its a mind **** for them. (its highly enjoyable to watch their faces of confusion)
everyone has their opinions but.. would you rather have a subaru impreza or a wrx AWD? but what me and andrew are trying to say is they are just more fun and overall worth the money.. not so much a necessity, just more liked.

Meh maybe Quattro is more fun to drive but I don't mind better gas mileage and a faster overall car (for this power level of course 
). Besides, to take corners or freeway offramps or whatever fast my sway bars and shocks/springs would be able to handle more than I can. As is there's no way I stay planted in my seat LOL.
Quattro is obviously more desirable but Audi made FWD so some of us will have to live with it.
An Audi guy who works for the same company I do used to have an awesome B5 1.8TQM sedan. It was often the testbed for Neuspeed products (exhaust, sway bars, tune, etc) or some thing Neuspeed sponsored him for. He let nobody drive it, until one day he let his GF drive the car. She took a freeway offramp too fast and despite the upgraded suspension, still totaled his car. Needless to say he dumped her after that, and then he got a B6 Avant.
I guess my point is even Quattro can't save dumb/bad drivers from making huge mistakes haha

there is just a big difference my first car was a pos honda civic motor swap blah blah blah all gay who cares. then i had a v8 chexy truck RWD and i have driven my share of vettes mustangs bentley's, merecedes benz ( i valet for extra $$ for the b5 =]) but the only time i get impressed by a car is when i get behind an sti or rs-4 or even a freakin eagle talon.. w12 vw pheaton they all feel better then anything else.
the only thing i can think to argue is rwd aston martins handle like awd cars but thats like a $300,000 car though.... and a porsche gt2 rs

I dont mind my FWD 95% of the time, but when we get odd weather like this and I cant even make it up my street to get delicious snacks, I WANT QUATTRO.

Buying these, and painting them a questionable color, plus my low will be achievable
