A3/S3 do not use Audi's outstanding quattro AWD system, but opt for a less expensive Haldex unit. It is FWD biased and, having test driven the S3, it is noticeably so and very disappointing.
Is it noticeably different than their quattro? Before my f82, I had a b8 s4 and absolutely loved it. I know there are a lot of rwd enthusiasts here but stability and grips from the quattro was simply sublime.
