No known Quattro issues. I had an '90 coupe years ago and sold it to a guy in town. He's on his second motor (5cyl) but the trans is still going strong. I wouldn't mind buying it back from him.

Torsen in the Longitude cars like the A4 wont really have any problems, its the Haldex in the Transverse cars like the TT/R32 that can have problems, but thats with about 500hp. So if your not throwing in massive amounts of power, you have nothing to worry about.

my dad had the same issue, and I went ahead with the quattro, I live near the mountains and I drive my car a lot and I am new to audi's as well so I showed my dad when I had to pull him out of the ditch in his domestic. HAHA! Felt bad he was there but I went into the ditch pulled him out of the holes he caused, went back up the ditch no problem and helped him get out again. When he was in there he kept saying dont come down dont come down LOL and than I got there he said I was an Idiot, than I got him out and now he is getting an audi for his next car! BOOM!!! OWNAGE!!!
