Currently I drive a 54-plate A3 Sportback 2.0TDI, and my wife and I are expecting our first child this August.
Recently, we had a baby seat test fitting, and, at the same time, asked the staff to bring along the buggy we've ordered to make sure it fits the boot. It did - but with the basket in as well, it was a very tight fit, and so we've been wondering about trading up to an A4 Avant for extra space.
So before I go and tyre-kick one I just wondered what owners' opinions - particularly those with families - were of the Avant. I understand it's a lifestyle estate, and certainly the boot appears bigger, but is it really worth the hassle and extra expense to change cars?
I've seen plenty of facelifted 2.0TDI SE Avants (05 and 55 plates) at around £19-£20k which would be the model we'd go for. Any feedback/thoughts would be welcome!
