Kind of like the Mercedes 300. Amen. As the (sole) 100Q owner on the quattro list, I second Carl's sentiment. It gets around fairly well, has never met something it couldn't handle, even with 5 people and suitcases climbing hills. So it doesn't burn rubber, or blow 300ZX's away at stop lights. Who cares? It's my daily commuter, and it does just fine. When I need to pass, there's always a gear or two down below waiting. -- Andrew L.
