Actually we travelled about 2000 miles and the back seat WAS a bit tight 
widthwise with 5 on board. But we will only very rarely have 5 up again now 
that our oldest is leaving home.

4 up is fine as long as the front people aren't too tall. My wife and I are 
5ft6in which leaves enough room for rear passengers.

The A4 is NOT a car to buy if you are over 6ft and regularly have rear seat
passengers.
