Default Am I going to get a concussion from my A4?

Quick question to all you Vertically Blessed Audi Enthusiasts:

How much head room can I expect with or without the sunroof? I'm 6'5 and was wondering if I need a helmet or not?

Also, I can imagine my seat being reared all the way back, how much legroom should the rear drivers side passenger be expecting? JetBlue style legroom?

I'm 6'2" and have no problems. The seat does go up and down, so you might need to put it all the way down to get enough headroom.

As to back seat legroom? Don't count on there being any if you put the seat all the way back. It's pretty tight back there even with it back as far as I like it.

You're gonna just have to try one. Honestly, the A4 is a pretty compact sedan, so it might be too small for you. The VW Passat is more roomy and has more driver legroom if you want to give that a try, too. It's still in the same family.

Alright, sounds good. I was just curious because the Audi I drove in Germany was just slightly to small for me. It was a 1991 Audi 80.

I'm 6'4 and have a little room to spare in headroom (OK, no laughing, my wife says I have PLENTY of headroom too) but as far as room for a rear seat passenger, well that ain't happening.

I'm 6'4 and have never had an issue.

My dad's a little shorter, but his torso is longer than mine. When we're sitting, his head is higher. Anyway, he doesn't have problems with my A4 either.

I'm 6'4" and have plenty leg and head room in my '08 A4. As for back seat leg room - forget it. Have to pull my seat up to knee-steering range to allow an adult room in the back seat.

haha best. thread. ever.
im 6'4" as well and fit just fine. i have my seat raised a lil bit so that my legs/knees dont kill me on long drives and i still have plenty of headroom so i can either sit totally straight up or slouch down a lil.
even in my old car (ford probe) i would joke that it was a 3-seater because i have the seat pretty far back and thats still the case now, slighty more room if i move forward thou.

all in all, if youre worried about seat position or height, dont be. just buy the car and love it
