I would not buy and Audi if it didnt have Quattro. I dont feel they have 
any other redeeming values other than the Q system. Power?? No. Handling? 
no. Styling?? Maybe.  Safety?? YES. One out of 4 aint great.
Now add the cost of maintenance, poor electricals, High insurances, taxes 
etc...I dont see what it would offer me that a much cheaper car would. As 
far as safety goes, there are some good cars out there that can be had 
cheaper.

Im going to get burned, arent I.
