Which Quattro?






Well, I'm thinking of getting a new car myself.  I'm sick of single handedly
supporting the insurance industry with my criminal premiums, so maybe I'll
chill for a while and rid myself of the sporty coupe and try a sedan for a
while.

I like my SO's 4000Q very much, so I thought I'd try a 5000TQ.  Located two
at a dealer and drove an '86.  To be honest, I was less than impressed.  I
really wanted to like it too.  Oh well.  Then the salesdrone shows me a new
'91 90 Quattro 20V.  The is a little high for me right now, but I thought,
what's to lose?  So I drove it over the same loop as the 5000TQ.  Fantastic.
Now I really want one.  

I have a few questions though.  Are problems inherent to this car?  Any really
good points?  Do the facists (read: insurance industry) regard this as a run
of the mill four door, or do they tack a premium on this one too?  Overall,
I'd like some general impressions of the car.

Am I missing any (reasonably) affordably Quattros?  No coupe because of the
door count, and unfortunately no V8's (too pricey).  I supposed I could get
another 4000Q, but it would be nice to have non-identical cars.  It's a bit
too cutesy for me.
