5 pax onboard today in the estate and the car was faultless. Ample space in the rear for all, the 2.0 tdi Dsg pulling without any drama and effortlessly keeps the revs low, easily enough torque available and the ride was good.

Yeah, the torsion beam back end is a lot better with some weight in it.

I think you are right and with such the car really performs better. To be fair it's not bad when unloaded even if it torsion beam but it's brief was never going to be a 'sports car'. It's a load lugger which is why I could never see the point of the audi Rs models

Exactly! I find that when driving fully loaded car with passengers and the luggage the car feels the most comfortable overall.

Regularly haul quite a bit round in mine, all good here!
