New car! (Part II)

[Tjalfe]

I have most of my height in my legs.. they have a hard time fitting comfortable anywhere.. Right now I have a Chev Impala with bench seat.. lots of room.. nice to not have the centre console
Maybe some day I will take a look at the A4, but I have to pay off this beast first

Nuno/Arbymo: thanx for the info, it'll be quite useful to me understand the car data I find on the net...

The 31,6 Kgfm is quite impressive...

[agallag]

My height is also in my legs (38.5" inseam), and the VW products seem to be really good for that. The seat goes waaay back. Right now I drive a Honda Accord, and it's decent, but not great. My old Mazda Protege was better. I've generally found American cars to be much worse for legroom.

Comes out to around 40 mpg

[Tjalfe]

I tried many other cars in my pricerange, and the Impala had the best legroom.. maybe soon I will have a bigger car budget, but that would cut into the computer budget

I was talking about the back seats, I´m sure it would take a 200cm driver at ease. Sure, I wouldn´t want to be the guy sitting on the back

hmmm, not really. Nm stands for Newtons.meter I think. Well, just to give you a figure, a Ferrari 360 Modena V8 engine has 372 nm of torque...

Ferrari and Porsche traditionally don't have high torque - they don't need them to get insane 0-60 mph and max speeds, they're light-weight and supposed to be driven with high RPM....

The Mercedes AMG S55 has 700nm of torque to throw in another number, here
Barring any problems, I'll most likely get to drive one this month: my father has ordered one of these, productions day is said to be the 14th of april.

Nice car, Nuno. Audi has done a bit to improve the looks of the exterior. I don't like the interior, though - it still has a bit of the typical Audi cheap "plastic" look. But then real manufacturing quality (as seen in defects per 100.000 km) is MUCH more important than looks and there the Audi is definitely not bad.

Nice car Nuno!!!
I personally like Audi's and think they are even better now than ever before!

Tjalfe: A nice E39 BMW would do the job perfectly for someone your height, I have a 528 and I'm 6'2" no issues what so ever.

Cheers,
