A5/S5 Back Seat Re-visited

mcavotta · 04-14-2007, 11:08 AM

For those who've actually sat in it, is the back seat as cramped as it looks? Which Audi can I sit in at the dealer and simulate S5 rear legroom? I just need to know it's possible to put two people back there if the situation demands it.

Is it any worse than a Mini? I'm 6' and have "choked up" on my seat to make it passable for someone behind me. Just want to know if I'm kiding myself here with this car.

Thanks!

The back seat is indeed very tight. I am 6' as well, and have taken a hard look at the S5. Love the car, but there is no way that an adult could fit behind me for any type of long ride. I pushed the driver's seat as far forward as I possibly could, and it was still cramped behind me. I currently have an A-4, and there is definitely more leg room in the back seat. 3 adults will be the limit for the S5 if the driver is 6'.
