I'm sure that in 2000 all 3 were on the same basic floorpan.
In size order:
A4 < Passat < Superb (think that came later than 2000, though) < A6.
If an A4 is too small, and an A6 too pricey, then a Superb or Passat are
well worth looking at.

Lengthwise, it *is* bigger.
Not by a huge amount, but (cough) one's "significant other" might notice a
similar change in length.
Top of my head, it's 4-8 inches, and more so in terms of interior space.

P.S. The TT has the "same" floorpan as the old A3. Shortened, yes; but the
same floorpan.
