Hi all, I’ve previously owned a 2017 Audi A4 Avant S Line 2.0 TDI 190 from new (company car) but unfortunately it got written off within a couple years when someone drove into the back on me on the motor way
It was my favourite car, I loved it, so I’ve decided to get another! Although this time second hand and go for Black Edition (car allowance this time and don’t want to tie into lease etc).
I was perfectly happy with FWD but I’ve also never driven a Quattro so don’t know what I’m missing. There’s a particular car that looks like a good buy and it’s the Quattro version of the 2.0 TDI 190 (2017) and I’m not sure if it’s worth any potential extra problems!?
Of course there’s more to go wrong, assume there’s some kind of transfer box then prop shaft, rear diff, drive shafts, CV joints etc.
Wondering people’s thoughts on this please? I can’t really see any known problems as such and of course chances are everything will be fine, but I’m just not really sure if it’s worth it for what I’d gain. I live in a town, will be doing motorway driving so it’s not like I desperately need all wheel drive.
Thanks all, will appreciate any views!
Pete
