As far as price goes, yes a quattro has better resale, making it more
expensive for ME. I'm not terribly concerned with resale.
A 5spd (no one has addressed this) is lighter and has a more spirited feel
to it. I like that."

Of course you are entitled to buy whatever you want and I wouldn't dispute
that the fwd 5sp would be lighter and theoretically a little faster if all
else were equal, BUT seems to me you can do all the same tweaks to a q that
you can to the fwd and you won't have the horrible torque steer.  Unless you
think torque steer = spirited feel ;-)

Just my .02
