Is the Audi’s Multi-Media Interface (MMI) better than BMW’s i-Drive system? Audi’s MMI consists of a large central knob surrounded by four buttons you use to navigate through a wide variety of functions from setting radio presets to adjusting the temperature of the optional seat heaters. Even with all the sophisticated systems on these cars, there simply has to be a more intuitive—and less infuriating—way to control them. What’s the gas mileage? EPA fuel economy estimates peg it at 18 city and 24 highway – quite respectable, although filling the 23-gallon tank with pricey premium-grade fuel is bound to be a sobering experience. What’s the worst thing about the interior? The raised bottom cushion of the center rear seating position and the substantial floor hump makes the three-place back seat much better suited to just two passengers. Most buyers will also want for a bit more storage space than the shallow trays inside the front seat’s dual center armrests provide.
