Compare and contrast the two systems please.
I'm sure theres some major difference I figure I'd just get the ball rolling by starting with the simple differences. :tongue:Thats what i was thinking. Is there any real difference between real AWD systems? i mean besides the DCCD and any nifty gadgets like that.
4Motion and quattro are essentially the same exact system. However, VW's R32, Toureg, Audi's TT and Q7 don't use these.I'm wondering if it's like the 4-motion. Also, if anyone would like to chime in, I was thinking it might be a FWD adapted to AWD but I don't know.
I'm not sure if all quattro systems use the Torsen center diff.audi uses a torsen center differential while subaru uses a viscous type.
p.s. audi TT uses an electronic haldex awd system, not their own quattro design
In Layman's terms, you're going to fast, and you're sliding.So in Layman's words....?
Does anybody else no the feeling that I am describing when you go around a turn in the snow with your subie. The steering gets lose and it seems as if the car is sliding a bit....its an odd feeling, its happened on both of my wrx's with the same snow tires (wintersportm3s)
Turn off traction control in your Audi. You'll get an entirely different experience.Before my '03 WRX, I had a '99.5 A4 2.8 quattro. By far Audi's system is more sophisticated. The torsion center diff's reactions are near instantaneous, while the braking system vectors torque side to side with the front and rear open diffs.
whoa whoa dude calm down with the negative comments heh... i mean audi/vw have certain problems but they do make some very nice cars... for instance like the audi r8 or the rs4 :0http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/images/smilies/sign_baaa.gif
:baaa:TE=scoob;2164666]Audi's are POS. I don't know anyone who owns a VW/Audi that doesn't constantly go to the dealers for all kinds of electro-mechanical failures. BOSCH sucks hard. if it don't work, it ain't sophisticated, it's just an idea.
The verdict: Both the WRX and the A4 have good snow and ice manners, but with the traction control left on, it's Audi quattro FTW!
Thanks for reading.
