Audi does not use the real Quattro system in the A3 model because the A3 has a transversal mounted engine. The consequence is that the A3 cannot have a true Quattro drive, as it does with other Audi models that have a longitudinally mounted engine. The Audi A3 has a heldex like golf. The BMW 1 Series F20 has a longitudinally mounted engine as is the case with almost all BMW models, which means it has a true XDrive. This is the main reason why BMW passed the last test and Audi did not. It doesn't matter how much a system allows the wheels to spin, but how capable it is to lock a differential to shift the torque to a wheel that has the grip. In summary, the BMW 1 Series is a mechanically superior car. Audi fan boy.

I read comments from those who say that the A3, which is fitted with the engine installed transversely, does not use the "quattro" system like other Audi models with a longitudinal engine: however, it is also true that Audi sells its A3 with the "quattro" logo applied. does not give it much publicity, if indeed with a transverse engine it does not have the same characteristics as its famous more performing all-wheel drive system (at least on the rollers). However, I saw another video comparison between BMW and AUDI on ice, and uphill the first seems to start a little better than Audi.

That's complicated matter. It is not the point to just slow the wheels down are stop them, that may be extremely dangerous, Quattro Ultra has this kind of system error. In many cases slippage is necessary to get the car out of trouble.
