Default Upgrade from '05 Accord EX-L V6 to '09 A4

Hello. I'm currently driving a 2005 Honda Accord EX-L V6, which I love very much. I've got 3 small children (youngest 2 months, oldest 5 yrs), and can't currently fit all three in the car. When we go somewhere as a family, we take our 4 door truck. I've got an opportunity to buy a 2009 Audi A4 Quattro with only 22000 km's on it...fully loaded, gorgeous car, for a very cheap price. Would the back seat in the A4 be similar in size to the Accord? I know I won't be able to get a booster AND a forward facing AND a rear facing child seat in the car at the same time, but if I could at least get two of the three in there, it might be a worthy upgrade.

Opinions?

Default smaller

I went from a camry to the A4. My kids are older and i rarely have a back seat passenger. Assuming the Accord is similar in size to the Camry, the A4 will DEFINITELY BE SMALLER and more tight. I would think the Accord is more like an A6. The A4 trunk is also a fair amount smaller than the Camry/Accord

I went from an '04 EX-L V6 to an '09 A4 - while the A4 was a great car, my 2 knocks on it were that it was smaller than the Accord and the 2.0T, while very torquey, was not as smooth as the Accord V6 IMHO. Ultimately ended up trading the A4 after 20+ months for an A6, primarily for the 2 aforementioned reasons.
