I think it depends on what your dad is looking for. Audi's interior, along with the S-Tronic transmission, is a super comfortable place to be.

The Mercedes has an average cabin compared to the Audi or the Porsche, but that engine is crazy good.

The Porsche probably has the best transmission, if your dad can get past its looks.

Average? Have you looked at the interiors of Mercedes lately? They destroy anything made from Germany. I think Audi's get way too much praise for their interiors. They really are nothing special both from a design standpoint and materials used. And anything Porsche is overrated.
