Thanks for the feedback guys! Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time
to respond. The car had the timing belt replaced 3000 miles ago so
thats a significant expense I have dodged for a while. I LOVE the way
Quattros hold the road on a tight turn, a totally different experience
from a FWD A 6. I am going to get it checked out by a dealer and buy
it if nothing horrible shows up.

I remember when I bought my first Audi (a 4000CSQ) in 1985. I had never
driven a Quattro before. I test drove the FWD 4000 on a dry December day
in upstate NY over a local loop of about 10 miles, liked it very much, and
then immediately drove the Quattro version to find out if it was worth the
additional expense. I decided on the Quattro within the first quarter of a
mile; simply night and day difference.

I bought the Quattro, and early in its life, decided to try and get it out
of shape on pulling into the (empty, large) snowy parking lot at work. I
could certainly get it out of shape, but only with some effort, and was
astonished, when I got out of the car, to find out that it was so slippery
I could hardly stand up.

I now have a 2002 A4 3.0 V6 quattro with 95K miles, still good as new.
Everything works on it (except that I don't know about the cruise control;
I've never used it). It feels like it will go forever, but when it dies,
I'm getting another.
