The 4WD system is meant to be a bit lazy, its not 'proper' permanent Quattro, more of a re-active system that will send power to the back once the front senses slip. Pretty sure you can get a Haldex Controller to adjust the power distribution for them.. whether this makes a noticeable difference I'm not sure.
