Did the avant have Audi's ESP system? (Which does independent wheel braking,
and is meant to be really good in the snow/crappy road conditions, but I
haven't had a chance to test it yet).
I think its only on newer (>2000?) models though. Its somewhat similar to
the porsche system.

Subject: RE: Traction control worthwhile at 3COM?
On my 1997 BMW 328i traction control makes the car extremely stable in the
rain, but interferes with the throttle too much on corner exit. I got a
ride Sunday in an A4 Avant Quattro, which has no traction control switch,
so I didn't have a chance to test the BMW at this event. I would have
tried one run with it on, at least.
