Thinking about selling the Accord and getting the new A4, love the way they look. Now Audi is known for the Quattro AWD, so would it be stupid if I bought a FWD A4? I could care less about the performance (FD has that covered). It would probably save me 2k before taxes. I mean does AWD on a 170 HP car make sense? Seems like it just adds extra weight. Does the AWD really make the car any better?

 

My friend has an A4 FWD. He loves it. I've ridden in it quite a bit, and I would venture to say that the AWD won't make that much of a difference, unless you go with the bigger engine. The turbo spools quickly and the acceleration feels very nice.



Hope this helps some!

 

i would say get the awd... if im able to spin the tires on my cavalier in the rain then why not go awd on the audi

 

AWD always makes sense.

 

AUDI AWD cars are always slower than rwd cars with the same horsepower. Only the start is better.

I race AUDIs nearly every weekend and they are only fast from standing start, when they roll the awd costs power. In rain even my mother's SMART is faster than my FD LOL

 

my friend has an A4 FWD becuase he got a really good deal on it. its nice having the quattro but you don't really need it....

 

I have nothing against 4wd. I'd love havig a skyline GTR (beside my FD). but asses that tell me that their awd cars with the same hp are faster than fwd or rwd are dumb. from 0-60 it might be true

 

its all about the launch..... but if you have race tires on a RWD can launch just as hard as an AWD

 

yeah they are slower cuz of the weight disadvantage but if you remember he doesnt really care about 1/4 mile times on this car. audi put enough money into developing a good awd system why not use it

 

of course they are good. even fast and safe. here are too many of them so nothing for me. like killing them though
