Auto vs manual
#32
op, I got my first audi (2.8 quattro in the sig) when I was a junior in high school also. I think I would have wanted to try to get rid of it within a few months if it was automatic... I'm a freshman in college now and I just got a 1.8t quattro manual avant and wouldn't have accepted anything fwd or automatic, I was even offered an auto s4 and turned it down. I've driven in heavy traffic, busy cities, whatever, and have never ever wanted the car to be auto. if you don't know how to drive stick, just learn, it's a lot more fun and a totally different feeling. once you get used to it which you would, you'll probably think it's easier to drive in normal conditions than automatic..

4motion = haldex = front wheel biased unless the rear wheels are needed
quattro = torsen = all wheels always
some quattro audis use haldex though, like the tt, a3 and s3.
some vw's might use torsen but I'm not sure. r32 uses haldex. my 97 a4 handled nicer than an r32 I've been in
sti/evo awd > quattro > 4motion

What makes the Subey "Symetrical AWD" (I think that's what they call it) so incredible?
Thanks for that tutorial Aledelic... now I know the difference between Audi and VW (and why my Audi feels so awesome all the time).

evo>sti>quattro>4motion
evo has an active yaw control which sti does not (evo ix does idk about x)
subie symetrical is pretty much u can cut the car in half right down the middle and it will me the exact thing on both sides theoretically
