if you live anywhere in the northeast or in places that get snow (or rain for that matter) you need quattro and it is a crime to have a FWD Audi in New England.

If you live in Florida or a place like that, and only do normal driving, not hard driving (cornering hard/fast or autocross) then get a FWD car and enjoy the higher mpg, but dont expect it to stick as well in the rain and other conditions.

Once you punch the gas through a corner in with AWD and feel the difference, you'll most likely not be interested in FWD anymore. RWD is a lot of fun, too, but AWD feels much more controlled and stable.

Subarus 4wdis Ghetto lol jk, the advantage of an audi's 4wd is technically its traction control system, wich sends the power to the wheels that need it and not to the ones that dont, this helps alot when turning hard and accelerating in the rain,(trust me) suburus ibelieve donteven haveany sort of traction control, at least on theirwrx models,( i think and i could be wrong)
