I can't believe your trunk at that whole thing! I always said the S4 is better than a 4x4 Pickup.

**AudiDTMA4** · 05-02-2013 01:59 PM

Nicely done, when I did my theatre room I measured boxes at the store to see what would fit. Managed to get a Sony Bravia 55" TV in.

**lapisia** · 05-02-2013 02:06 PM

Incredible. I had trouble putting a 52 inch tv in my Rav4. Who knew the S4 is more spacious than a cross over!

**Zaider** · 05-02-2013 02:09 PM

Huh.

That is awesome.

I haven't actually tried folding down the seats yet.

**nalvar14** · 05-02-2013 02:21 PM

that is a very nice tv!

**toaster** · 05-02-2013 02:21 PM

nice tv.

samsung leds are some of the best.

**gendry** · 05-02-2013 02:28 PM

Nice. You forgot to add the Samsung LED mod to your signature.

**S4charged** · 05-02-2013 02:46 PM

You got a great TV. I'm jealous lol.

Good to know though.

**svirk2** · 05-02-2013 02:47 PM

Wait, that fit without folding the seats down? No way

**Kandiru** · 05-02-2013 03:10 PM

Haha, I carried 3 passengers with 2 airline trunks and 3 cabin bags on the weekend.

This is why I love smartly designed sport sedans, the Volvo S60R
was the record holder though for me. You should see the puny
trunks in the 3 series, or the TL's giant AWD humps protruding into the
trunk along with nonreclining rear seats.

Oh, and OP good TV brand choice BTW.

**Animo** · 05-02-2013 03:37 PM

I haz B8.5 Ibis White S4. and also I haz 55" version of that tv. We're like twins

**akatz** · 05-02-2013 03:40 PM

I surf and I carry a 7 ft board in my car, aloong with 2 more 5'5'' boards, and a huge bucket. Only problem is I left my seats down for a while and it left an ugly indent on my leather seats. Now it wont come out

**sebastian504** · 05-02-2013 03:42 PM

Nice! Jersey City Best Buy! 3.5% sales tax :)

**GeoJoe** · 05-02-2013 03:55 PM

How many tied up ho's will it hold?

People underestimate the importance of this answer

I'd say at least 9

**nightfury22** · 05-02-2013 04:19 PM

another winning factor for the b8s4

Excellent info. Thank you!

Yeah, judging from the first pic, it looks like the seats are down. Cheater!

**Spacecadet_CC** · 05-02-2013 05:00 PM

That is a great pic! I did a 2-week road trip in a B6 A4, 5000km, with a 6-month-old in a car seat, wife, pack-and-play, BugaBoo Stroller, and 2 weeks of luggage and it worked just fine. That was 8 years ago and there is no way you are going to get me rolling in a van!

**aaronz** · 05-02-2013 11:07 PM

8000 series I hope! Good choice.

**yungcotter** · 05-03-2013 12:13 AM

An Entire college room fits in a B7 lol there's an office chair lamps golf clubs 32' flat screen tv 21' pc monitor clothes, shoes and just a bunch of other junk.

**VeryBadman** · 05-03-2013 12:50 AM

With the back seat fold down that TV should fit with no issue. I have done similar thing but it was a big office table for my case.

**supergeek18** · 05-03-2013 03:40 AM

Wow if only I saw this earlier I wouldn't have paid for a squad of geeks to deliver my TV...

**yagie** · 05-03-2013 04:13 AM

Got two mountain bikes and a bunch of groceries in my wifes 08 civic 2 door the other day lol. No I can only imagine what I could have done in the Audi O_O

**jackal15** · 05-03-2013 05:50 AM

impressive. well done! FWIW, our 55" Panny wouldn't fit in our previous FX35

Yes it's a 8000 line

**infinkc** · 05-03-2013 08:12 AM

Since we are on the topic of trunk space, anyone know if (4) 19" rims will fit in the trunk without folding the seats down? no tires or boxes.

i will let you know when i get home tonight. i have a feeling its going to be 1 in the trunk, two in the back seats without them folded down and one in the front seat

**AudiDTMA4** · 05-03-2013 10:49 AM

You can easily get 4 wheels/tires in....I've done it about 10 times.

Fold down the seats, put the first two in push them as far forward and out to the dooors as you can, cover them with a towel or something so you dont damage any trim. Now place the next 2 in, one will lay flat, one will rest at an angle against it and sit against the trunk. Again cover them so you don't scratch something.

PSA....don't leave them in overnight or you'll mess up your rear seats with indentations from them being down.

Or if you don't have passengers in the back seats, you can place 4 rims/tires/wheels there easy without having to fold down the seats. I recommend tire/wheel covers if you go this route.

Just one of the reasons why I love the S4 -- its a great, practical daily driver

**AofC_RR** · 05-03-2013 01:41 PM

Oh good, I know that will fit in my A4 when I upgrade for Xmas!

In my experience it usually take a few months for leather indents to completely go away. You could also try some leather conditioner www.lexol.com.

Nice... I expect this thread to bump on Black Friday*

*though I get most things online these days.

**Dash** · 05-04-2013 07:15 AM

With a kid on the way, the trunk space was a bill selling point for me on the S4. It's cavernous.

**jpbadonk** · 05-04-2013 09:13 AM

Just imagine how much more we could carry if they sold us the avant version in the US...

BTW, moved 4 wheels/tires yesterday when swapping my summers back on and the above info is correct. Trunk size might only hold one unless the seats are down. With seats down, I stacked two on the back seat, leaned one on those, with one in the trunk.
