Default Big Sedan to a Macan

Has anyone traded out of a big sedan to a Macan? How was the transition? I currently have a '15 Audi A8. Got it a year ago but the Macan has caught my eye. Concerned about interior room. Wife drives a Q7 so that would continue to be the family hauler.

In a general sort of way re interior room....A4 = Q5, but higher rear seats = Macan. Your move would be like going from an A8 to an A4.

Except the A4 would have more headroom in the rear seat. I'm 6'1" and there is not enough head room in the back seat of the Macan for me to sit straight. I was interested in the Macan until I actually sat inside one. It's just too small as a family hauler for adults. If you don't need to put adults in the back, it should be fine, though even the front row felt a little tight to me.

I have a 2017 GTS and am 6'1". I have plenty of room and have the sun roof. That being said it is not an A 8. It is, however a great ride. Not a 911 which I gave up but no looking back.

Like these guys have said, I traded my 2014 S4 for the Macan...from a seating standpoint, its about the same room as the S4. Rear cargo is better and you sit a little higher.

Given that you have a big family hauler, I can't imagine why rear seating space being less than an A8 would really matter. The driver's end of the Macan is spacious, and I think it is way more fun to drive than a sedan. I have to think in the garage before I pick one.
