Johnyeow Neutral Newbie April 3, 2010 Share April 3, 2010 (edited) hi folks. need some advice on the above. Other than the technicalities, any discernible difference in drive comfort, handling as well as fuel efficiency ? more inclined towards ride comfort and decent power on tap... price difference between quattro and MU is about 7k. also, i heard that the gearbox fluid need to be replaced every 40clicks ? advices ? cheers !

I don't understand what you try to compare. Quattro is 4 wheel drive for Audi, while Multitronic is Audi CVT gearbox.

S-tronic = DSG bro Multitronic = CVT CVT is a pretty lousy gearbox while S-tronic is dual clutch giving shift times of 6ms. imagine F1 time gear shifts. savvy?

Zangetsu77 Clutched April 3, 2010 Share April 3, 2010 Quattro is 4WD, the multitronic without the quattro implies it's probably RWD, though i might be mistaken. 4WD handles better than RWD and is generally more stable. The difference is more obvious in heavy rain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiadaw 6th Gear April 3, 2010 Share April 3, 2010 Audis are FWD or AWD. No RWD if I am not mistaken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be...but not any more...due to the manufacturers beancounters...even Mercedes ( A and B class ) and BMW ( for their future base model ) will be FWD....for Audi...they've adopted FWD and AWD for quite sometime...

Kretia Neutral Newbie April 4, 2010 Share April 4, 2010 No question take the 2.0 quattro with S-tronics. The 1.8 wiu multitronics sucks, no power,cvt whine. Compare to the quattro, drive along S buona vista road and feel the sharp handling. Also switch between comfort/sports mode and feel the difference in suspension/handling.
