He likes it and his wife likes (and drives) it and likes the Bose audio. Engine he reckons is superb (for a diesel) - he had an S4 estate before. Looks good from the outside too, but the interior just looks like a VW - hard black plastic. It even has manual seat adjustement!

What are they selling you blokes in the UK? Here in the States we supposedly get fewer options and fewer models (most Avants have been dropped, no diesels in certain cars, etc.), but the cars we're getting feel special. They don't have nary the lack of quality I'm reading here. Now, I am not too privy to the newest cars because I'm but 23 years on and most of my friends are of a similar age, so we buy used, but I've been in A5s and S5s and A8s and S8s and A4s and S4s, and 6s as well, and I can't say I've seen any without power seat adjustment, and fine interior materials. Maybe we aren't nearly as shorted as we'd believe.
