i did not know this about the chasis, but my butt feels like I'm sitting in the same sized car going from my JSW to my friends A4. the difference is inches or less and I'm not the type to select by those parameters.
we can agree to disagree but they are relatively the same sized cars, look a lot alike, and have a lot of similar styled components and prolly even share a few.
I'll likely be stuck with the A4 wagon in the future which is fine, I'd just prefer the BMW one.

Yes, the 2.0T you have is VERY detuned. But the car is lighter so that makes up for it.
The DSG and Tip are VERY different. DSG is an automated manual with dual clutches. The Tip is an old school slushbox. I'd MUCH rather have the Tip, to be honest. It's a better tranny.
You won't see the difference in the front seat. The A4 has more back seat room. JSW, being a wagon, has longer overhangs though so you can't really compare. Put the JSW next to an A4 Avant and you'll see the true difference in size.
They absolutely share components. VW/Audi always do. I don' tkow how you can say they're even similar looking though.
