Default Which is better selection ?

I've been looking for A4, a used one.
I found 2 candidates, and they both are the 2005.5 model and in the almost same condition. But they are rather different.

(1) A4, Quattro, 88000miles, good option (all heated seats, memory seat, bose audio), clean in/outside.

(2) A4, FWD, 44000miles, standard option (no heated seat, no memory seat), clean in/outside. more expensive by around $2,000 than (1).

But I wanna both Quattro and low mileage.
If you were me, which one would you buy?
I'm asking for your advice.

If #1 has been well maintain that would be the one I would look at. For me Quatro was a must. I also really wanted heated seats, rain sensing wipers, Homelink, and auto lights. I settled for Q with the heated seats, but nothing else because the car was very well cared for and the price was right.

You answered your own question.

If you live in a snowy area get the Quattro with heated seats as it is a must. No snow, the low mileage FWD would be perfectly fine. My old FWD was great aside from the automatic that the FWD's have. I prefer low mileage cars as they can be expensive to fix and 80k miles is really in the danger zone especially if the last owner did not maintain the cam follower.

I have a quattro, but have also driven a FWD A4 loaner, in the winter. No comparison. The FWD was like a bigger version of my Jetta that was terrible in the snow.
