2012 Audi A5 / S5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	2dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	I am 6'-7" tall. Audi builds cars that I can fit into comfortably. My 1998 A4 was the first car that truly fit me, and the S5 is just as good, if not better. see full Audi A5 / S5 review
