Default Rear legroom measurements?

Can't seem to find any details about rear legroom in the '09. Want to compare the measurements to some other cars, and the legroom numbers for the A4 always come up empty. Can't find them on audiusa.com or in the brochure.

Default I'm driving a B8 dealer loaner now and I think the back seat legroom...

is effectively no better than our B6 and possibly worse. Since you sit lower in the B8, your legs are more horizontal, so for the most comfortable seating position the seat is further towards the rear than in the B6. Thus, I think the rear passenger behind me effectively gets less room. Also, since the rear seat in the B8 is also lower you tend to get more of the knees in your face seating position.

I have not tried to take any measurements, these are just my subjective impressions comparing the two cars. Bottom line, you need to try them all yourself and don't trust the published measurement data.

Default I can only compare it to my B5... and the B8 rear legroom is *way* better.

I'm only 5'10", and where I had the driver's seat positioned, the rear seat behind me was unusable. While usable on the passenger side with the front seat slid up a bit, it was still very uncomfortable.

When I test drove the B8, I sat in the backseat when I parked it back at the dealership. The driver seat was still positioned where I had left it... I must say I was plenty comfortable.
