Hi, quattronauts!
I used to own a quattro, I sold it to buy the Vanagon Syncro I am
presently driving :-) Does this count? The car was a 1984 Audi 80 GTE
quattro, it was Tornado Red, and motivated by a 2,0 5-cyl of 115 hp. What
I liked most about this car was, when pushing it through a corner, the
tires riding on their edges, I just floored it, and it sucked itself to
the tarmac like a Dirt Devil to a shaggy carpet ;-). Driving by this
technique is not as easy in the Syncro, but it was not intended to hug the
curves anyhow. What I like more about the Syncro opposed to the quattro,
is that the quattro is most probably a terrible off-roader. Anyhow, both
are terrific winter cars.
