    Hi all, I've been thinking about a little run around recently and I keep going back to the Audi TT. I'm probably looking at the 1.8 version, with some good extras but I have my reservations on the leg room. Does anyone know if they could accommodate a tall guy, I'm 6,4 and average build ??

    You should be fine, I know someone with one who is six three and manages fine.

    Overall height is not the only factor also need to consider the split between trunk and limbs!

    Easiest means to check is a test drive.

    Not sure what you're worried about though, you'd be under average height in my family (including the women)!

    I cant see that working out for you. I had a mk1 TT and my 6' 2" mate had a spin and said he didnt fit properly - knees around the steering was the problem, not headroom.

    I'm 5"8/5"9 and I have to say I found the TT a bit cramped. I don't think I'd fancy it if I was 6 foot plus.

    Im 5 7 and feel the seat could go back a notch but Im comfy enough. Ive a MK1 Roadster. The Coupe might be better, take a test drive and check if you are comfy. They are really great cars despite what the naysayers say.

    Being honest, Im 6 Ft and having driven 2 of them the new model and the older one. Im not a major fan. Visibility was a killer for me despite me really liking the look of them i just didnt like the view outwards.


    go drive one (several infact) and judge for yourself. The internet despite its merits cant help you here.

    as said above take a test drive also help you get a feel for the car so you can gauge if its for you or not
