Rear seats are much smaller to my long legs (6' 3") & the sport model is just too hard. My mates got one
& I love it to bits. It its't anywhere near as comfortable as his old Rover 75, but it's a great car!

Great cars now, the dealers are on a par with just about any car I have owned (I get about a bit with
cars through work etc) & the Audi was just so well built & comfy I loved it. Now, the Subaru is easliy
the second best car I have ever had. 0-60 in 5.9 is great if you can use it, but the real part of this
car is the superb AWD system & the handling. Normally in a car like this the suspension is rock hard,
this is very plient & rides like a dream. No more Mini Cooper S spine braces required!

Aye, good motor, but the Audi is a LOT cheaper to buy!
