Not correct, awd just makes difference coming out of the corners when throttle is applied, otherwise its fairly similar.

My reasons for FWD:

-AWD is more expensive to maintain
-If something is wrong with a tire all four must be replace, otherwise transmission might be damaged.
-Save on gas
-Costs more
-More stuff that can break
Blah Blah Blah, unless you truly need AWD, front with snow/ice tires works well

I initially wanted to buy a quattro but ended up getting a better deal on the FWD. It seems to be driving fine in the winter... I did put winters on it to be on the safe side.. so I guess in the end it might just end being a question of if you have the extra dough to buy the AWD..

There is no such a thing as a "CVT engine", the engine is the same on both cars. The transmission is CVT and not tiptronic as in quattro models. You could also get a manual A4 FWD in 2007. I didn't sell too many of those, but it was nice to drive.

My bad, if I said engine(i corrected it now)! CVT stands for Constantly variable Transmission, sorry if i got the wording mixed up but the point is getting accross.

why does the CVT tranny have such a bad reputation?

I called a mechanic and he said they are not very good.

fwd a4 = jetta
If you don't want the quattro, save yourself some cash and get a jetta.
