Default Leg Room

How is the leg room in these cars. Im 6'5" and am wondering if i would fit. right not i drive a truck with the seat actually scooted 2 inches forward from farthest back. I used to drive a 97 honda accord and could live with that. I just dont want to kill all my dreams of this car if i cant fit.

With a little internet diligence, you can compare the legroom for your old truck and the Audi A3. I'd try Edmunds first, but other sites have measurements too.

Good luck!

I'm 6'7" and I have no problems. Seems like lots more legroom than my 04 Jetta had.

Have a sit in one!

This Saturday is the next GTG. Come on down!!!

BTW, I'm not overly tall, but in most cars I have the seat back all the way. This is the first car that I'm not able to do that and still push the clutch in all the way. I'm sure that this car has plenty of legroom for you.

Cheers!

It will be fine as long as you don't plan on anybody sitting directly behind you (at least not very often).

FWIW, I'm 6'4" and am quite comfortable in the A3, and the seat isn't all the way back. It's worth your time to go sit in one. I'd suggest double checking how the center console does/doesn't affect your knee and pedal spacing. Of course, I only sit in front.

I'm 6'2" and I have more leg room than I do in my Acura RL. However, foot room for my size 13s is limited. If you have big feet, check it out when you sit in the car. Now that being said, it's not a problem because you're aware of it and you adjust.

Thanks all for the response. Thats exactly what i wanted to hear, real world examples. Im pretty thin so im not worried in that aspect. The car actual has 0.1 legroom less than my truck, go figure. But headroom, shoulder room, ext is a greater difference. I dont know what is going to kill me more 14 mpg in my truck that is paid off or a car payment lol.
