Gotcha and see your point…
The way I see it is. I like the heavy feeling of my B5, the suspension upgrades in my B5 are night and day compared to the sloppy feeling in my stock B6. I drove Jellers Evo to Ohio from here and really did not like the light tinny feel of the car and did not feel truly comfortable and connected to the road… I guess it just comes down to what you are used to driving…
As for the quattro system I feel it is one of the best AWD system compared to any of the other manufacturers out there… Yeah, maybe not the best car to take to a track event but I feel you really have the best of both worlds in a Audi…
Edit: It’s not the AWD system that is sloppy. It’s the shitty stock suspension that makes the car feel sloppy…
“I’d hate to see how bad the cars would drive without it”. Just go drive a passat of a FWD A4 (which is a waste of $$$)
