Absolutely.  I've owned Audis since 1977, and have had only one that was
a Quattro (my current car, actually).  They're a very reliable car, they
handle well (even without the Quattro; I was driving a 90CS that was not
a Quattro a couple of years ago in the snow, and as I drove down the
road, a 4WD Jeep hit a patch of ice and slid off the road, I drove right
past them, then a BM behind me hit the patch and slid right into the
Jeep...hehehehehe...).  The interior and exterior design are great,
though they aren't the ultimate stop-light demon (at least w/out some
mods), they are pretty respectable.  I say this having driven the
non-Quattros, and I got to compare the Quattro and non-Quattro versions
of the 90CS and both handled very well.

I'd definitely buy another Audi, and though I'd try to get the Quattro,
if it wasn't available or I couldn't afford it, I would get the
non-Quattro anyway.

just NSHO...
