Rear leg room question - need lots of it.

I've got an Audi A6 Allroad. It's HUGE. We just put a new rear facing car seat in it (the type that takes them up to 4 yrs old) and now the passenger seat is very far forwards, to the extent that we both have our knees touching the dash (6ft and 6ft 3). The 73cm baby takes up more room than us!

Question - is there anything out there, German, Swedish or maybe Japanese, with more rear leg room than the Allroad? Or are we doomed to be uncomfortable for the next 3.5 years?

And before anyone suggests getting a smaller carseat, that ain't going to happen. It's a bigger car or sore knees but safe carseat stays.

Thanks!

Hi Octanegirl. Assuming you know roughly what kind of car you want/like, you can find the actual amount of front and rear legroom for any car currently in production by clicking through to the What Car? specs pages for each car from Mumsnet Cars. Go to Mumsnet Cars' Car reviews, choose 'What Car? review' for the car you want and scroll down to the bottom of the review for a link to the specs pages. Choose any version of the car to find layout drawings and dimensions (under 'Size'). As it happens, we're in the processing of uploading the latest dimensions for the A6 Allroad (if you wanted to compare your car with others) but you should be able to go by the A6 Avant in the meantime.
