At the end of the day, what sells sedans is the back seat. If you can't put anyone in it, or worse, a rear facing car seat, then don't bother even making it. Why do you think that VW sells a ****ton of Passats and Jettas? It's not the stellar reliability of the driving dynamic. It's the big back seat where you can put a rear facing child seat and not have the front passenger's nuts crammed in his throat up against the dashboard airbag. Plain and Simple.
Oh yeah, and Audi can keep the POS if no stick. I can get a friggin Impreza in a stick but not an Audi? Premium cars means customization for owners. If Audi can't at least equal Burger King and instead tries to equal Buick, I'll shop elsewhere.
as for the stick argument, if u live in big cities like LA u wouldn't be wanting to drive a stick in traffic. i think impreza offers stick since their autos simply suck it's CVT. don't know how the shifts feel in slow speed with these s-tronic dual clutches, if they are 6 speed then the shifts might get jerky. but i'm sure they'll be sweet in manual mode or accelerations

I'm with you. The seats need to be usable. I don't have kids, but I do drive coworkers to lunch during the week and friends to dinner on the weekends. I don't care if people are a little squished for short rides, but it needs to at least be doable.

I'm over 6 feet tall, and "husky" and I fit in the back seats perfectly well, with another "husky" individual. And that was with the front seats in a reasonable position.
If anything, the S3 feels just as roomy as a B7 A4.
