The Quattro system is well made and pretty problem free. If you're looking at getting an Audi get it with Quattro

Yeah the Quattro is a mechanical system (at least I'm pretty sure it is) which makes it much harder to break.


get Quattro, or your basically getting an upscale VW

you are correct sir!

I would almost say they are more reliable. You can trust that you will maintain traction during tight (fun!!!) corners and not understeer off the road then subsequently laughed at by some hot girls in a mustang (a la freecreditreport.com commercial )

quattro FTW!

very reliable system indeed....although in the last two months I have had to replace both front axles, the driveshaft, the clutch, serviced the center and rear diff.'s, changed the tranny and diff. fluid, and rear diff seals...but the car has 120k on it....

so i guess every 10 years you have to put a couple thousand into it...lol...love my quattro!
