Audi S4 rear seat leg room / Evo

I was wondering if anyone has owned both cars and could provide info on the amount of additional leg room in the S4 (if any) compared to the Evo?
I'm considering an 04 S4 as a daily.

I owned a 04 S4, and the Evo has more leg room than the Audi believe it or not.

I had lots of quality problems with my S4, and I was the original owner and babied the car.

Procede with caution!

I have currently have both (not the b6 s4 but a b5). My friend has a b6 and the evo I feel is more spacious compared to both his and mine but its true they are 2 totally different animals. The S4, im talking b5 with the v6 twin turbo, is so torquey due to the displacment and turbos. It feels like a 2.3 evo with 2 16g's lol.

I don't know about the 04 model but my bro has a B7 A4 and I can tell you first-hand that there is **** for leg room in the back seat. Sitting in the back of an Evo compared to the Audi is like sitting in a Maybach.

That's why you get Audi coupes

All correct - Evo has more leg room in the back (B5, B6 and B7).

Yah I had a B5 S4 and the Evo wins in the legroom department. Also the Seats in the Evo win for comfort. Thats on the 2000-2002 years. Like everyone has said before 2 very different cars..

The Evo has almost as much leg room as my Lexus ES330 and it crushes a lot of other cars. Comfort of the rear seats is a whole nother story

Thank you for the input guys. I'm not even going to waste the sellers time by going to look at it.
The 04 has the 4.2L V8. It's Nogaro Blue Pearl sitting on 19" BBSes. It's a beautiful looking car. I heard about quality problems from a few other people, also. One being a VW tech. That can't be good.

I already own the evo and now that it's paid off, I was looking for a daily driver but, wanted something with enough room to comfortably fit two toddler car seats. I'm trying to avoid an SUV and surely not a minivan, my wife won't even drive one of those.

I've owned a '93 and '01 S4 prior to getting the Evo. The '93 has far more room than the Evo, but it was based of the Audi C chassis (A6, S6, etc). The '01 was much smaller and has less room than the Evo since it's based off the B chassis.

They were both fun cars, but expensive to keep running, especially the '01. I don't think I could go back to Audi unless they focus more on performance cars again and less on luxury first.
