Quattro ROCKS in Winter!!!

[calgaryBrian]

Amen to Quattro. I've got Nokian Hakkapalliita Q's on my B6, works wonders... When everyone is white-knuckling the wheel and nervous about getting up the next hill or stopping at the intersection, I am plowing by with a huge smile on my face. Quattro and 6-level heated seats...winter wonderland.

I know that hill very well, actually got suck on it a few time in my old acura when I went to SAIT. It used to just be a disaster on the first big dump, constantly accidents.

I picked up a buddy who had just driven into town from Calgary on Sunday and he couldn't believe the difference between his FWD Altima with winter tire and my A4. He didn't believe me I still had my all seasons on. It's like night and day, I'll never go back to anything else as long as I live up here.

I just drove up to Whistler and back over the past few days. Even with the TT being a part-time AWD it was stunningly good on the snowy road. And all my gear and two pairs of skis easily fit into the Coupe. My Dunlop Winter Sports are amazing. They are the number 1 rating winter tire by Tire Rack.

I could never go back from Quattro, I'm ruined for other cars.

Me too! I sold my A4 as I am going back to school, and when I graduate again back to Audi! Now I am a shameful civic man, (wifes car) and what a difference. That car is light so taking a corner throws out the back end. I remember with the quattro I used to be doing power slides through same turns in winter, now I am affraid to turn the wheels, and am constantly on breaks, with quattro there was no breaks!!! LOL! K that sounds dangerous but I used to pass snow plows, but now if the road is not snow plowed cant even get out HAHA!!! And heated seats were amazing, kept you nice and toasty!
