Default QUATTRO vs QUATTRO

Would like to hear from any TT owners who previously owned an Audi product with the current generation Quattro. I will be trading in my A4 which has been incredible in the rain and unstoppable in the snow (with the right tires !) I am really looking forward to my new TT but would appreciate some reviews of the electronic quattro vs the mechanical quattro I've grown to love.

Drove both, I like the haldex better. Saves more gas and you barely notice the FWD all the time.

I have both. I don't feel a difference in everyday driving although I was sceptical when I got the TT with Haldex-quattro.
I agree to what Jason said. Gasmilage of the mechanical quattro IS bad.

Will APR install the brake lines or is it a do it yourself job?

BTW, did Chin sent ya the Info about Homestead and Sebring? Unfortunately I won't be able to do Sebring this time but I'm thinkink of going to Homestead.
