Get some snows, with a $500 insurance deductible and increase in premiums, it's a no brainer

Um No its a 60 % back 40% front try researching a little bit more. I have a friend who works at the Audi dealership here locally and it is often missunderstood to a 50/50 but he told me it was more like a 40/60 roughly try searching other forums and you'll see I know from personal experiance that it is a 40/60
Characteristic of Torsen-equipped 4WD
Except the first generation Quattro system that appeared in the early Quattro coupe, most of the subsequent Quattro systems used Torsen differential in center and rear axles. This is rather expensive. However, Torsen-equipped 4WD has many advantages. First of all, its pure mechanical parts react almost instantly to tyre slip. Secondly, it provides linear lock-up characteristic. Thirdly, it is a strictly permanent 4WD system. In normal condition, torque split between front and rear wheels is 50:50 (other ratios are possible, depends on the pitch of worm gears).

It seems to me that only
quattro generation III (V
is immune to "front axle loses traction" event.
All other Quattro generations could get in trouble.
