2012 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6 7-speed automated manual AWD |
Without question, the most comfortable car for long road trips that I've ever owned. Our family of four took a road trip of ~2000 miles, longest single-day drive was 11 hours, and never felt any fatigue or discomfort from the seating. Seats are firm and supportive but not harsh or uncomfortable. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

2006 | 4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed automatic RWD |
Plenty of room in the big cat, however never could get comfortable behind the wheel. While large and spacious, the seats were hard, lacked lumbar support, and did not fit my back well. see full Jaguar XJ review |
