Default A5/S5 Back Seat Re-visited

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!

Default Re: A5/S5 Back Seat Re-visited

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'.

Default I have an A4, as well... that seat isn't great for taller passengers, if you also

have a tall driver... I should look into getting some shorter peeps.
