I would keep looking for a quattro. (What did you expect me to say? This is a 
quattro list). The quattros seem to have better original equipment (like the 
rear suspension, brakes, etc.) plus, well, it's a quattro. If you decide to 
give it some more power you won't have traction issues and it will help you 
out in crappy weather. I do hope you get a 5 speed. Both Audi automatics I've 
known (200 & 5000s) have had more problems than my quattro, not only with the 
tranny, but in general. Don't let me bum you out though, any Audi is still an 
Audi.
