for a set of "sport sedans". To me, a road trip requires room, long-haul comfort, highway prowess, etc - not the requirements typically listed for a sports sedan. So I chose the A6 2.7T. Who cares about fine handling, steering feedback, etc, when you're tooling along an interstate? Maybe on the Autobahn, but not in the U.S. I'm sorry, if I had to drive (especially with a family or more than one friend) on an all-day (or longer) road trip, I would not pick the cramped quarters of a 330i, Viggen, or other compact sport sedan. IMO, those are better suited to short hauls, back road romps, etc. The 95 would be a great choice, as would the A6 or 5 series BMW. Since the A6 2.7T was on the list (sort of an odd pick - I would have paired up the S4 in this group), that's what I'd take on a road trip, yessir. And it was the quickest car to boot.
