In line with the lower price, there have been minor changes to the interior. Wood trim has been replaced by tasteful, matte-finish plastic, and perforated leatherette upholstery takes the place of leather. The look, however, is very little different. Our bright red test car's Opal Gray Ambition interior color scheme was most tasteful. Space in back is adequate for kids, but if you plan to haul adults on a regular basis they are likely to feel crowded.
Cargo space is less compromised.
Fold the seat flat and there is 63.7 cubic feet of cargo space. My other complaint centers on a radio that is overly complicated and confusing to use. I overheard Audi officials indicate a simpler design is in the offing for future models. If you like the A4 Avant but think it is not big enough, take heart. There's now an A6 Avant that is plenty spacious.
