FWD-biased feel is unavoidable in the Audis. You put a transverse-mounted engine up front to primarily drive the front wheels, then tack on a driveshaft and run the rear wheels in AWD configuration, it's still a FWD car. Only a longitudinally-mounted engine in RWD configuration with FWD tacked on later for AWD will give you the necessary rear bias and balance to escape the FWD feeling. Look at the GTR and others with AWD where nobody complains of a FWD driving experience.
