Default Probably an odd question, but how do I know if I have Quattro? (more)

I took delivery of my 2001.5 1.8T last week and just noticed that I do not have a Quattro badge on my front grille. There's one on the back and the interior trim and the Quattro Celebration Pkg. is listed on my window sticker/invoice. But, no badge on the front. Is anyone else with a 2001.5 missing the badge? How can I tell if I actually have Quattro??

Thanks.

Default look under the car.......

if you have a rear end, "You got QUATTRO!"

The front emblem clips in (maybe it fell off). Ask your dealer for a new one.

Default turn the wheel all the way to the right, and increase throttle. Quattro doesn't feel like FWD or RWD

you should feel a little vibration type thing
from the steering wheel and drive train since
all four wheels are pushing at different rates
due to the difference in area each wheel is
covering.

The right side of your trunk will have a smaller pocket than if it didn't have quattro

If the 1.8T in the lane next to you out accelerates you, then you have Quattro! :-)
