Now there's a switch...usualy it's us guys begging our significant other's

If you only have two kids, then it prolly is plenty big for now. What ages are
your 50 and 60 pound kids? Height would be the determining factor I think. We
have two boys and one girl...the boys are both over 50 pounds but still are
very comfortable (read fight over) in the jump seat in the back of our ovlov
"mommiewagon" (be nice, it was cheap).

<< Does anyone have any opinions on this car as well. >>

Hard to have much of an opinion for something that isn't yet available here
(in the US) but in general new Audis just keep getting better and better it
seems in areas of reliability and resale best I can tell. There was a post
about the current A6qwagon requiring removal of the jump seats to get at the
spare tire (and tools to remove the jump seat) which doesn't sound fun...but
not sure how big a deal that is or if it will apply to the '99 models. Since I
have yet to own one, can't say for sure.
