    2017 A4 is a bigger car with more rear leg room then prior A4's. I get busted on because of my height for driving what most people consider a small car (prime). Heads must turn when all of you exits yours :).
    2017 A4 is a larger car and if you don't believe me, I suggest you drive one as I do periodically (Sister's car). Tough crowd here at priuschat....
    2017 Audi A4 exterior dimensions
    Overall Length 186.1"
    Overall Body Width 72.5"
    Overall Body Height 56.2"
    Wheelbase 111"
    Prius is 3" shorter in length and width and 5" shorter wheelbase

    Yes my Advanced had a light factory tint on it. I believe it was a gray tint rather than the previous greenish tint that you see on older cars. I have since added a medium dark metallic tint to all windows in the car except the windshield.

    Keeping in mind legal issues, I still had all my windows tinted with the same medium color lifetime warranteed tint, like all my previous cars. Don't recommend windshield tint: had it on previous Prius plug in and way too expensive and fussy if you use windshield suction cup mounted devices.

    Had mine done at 35%. State limits. It seems to have worked out well and the car looks great.
