Replying to: Arroyojon (Nov 26, 2008 7:02 pm) I'm almost 6 -4 and have plenty of headroom in the TT. the roofline is quite high in the TTs 08 and 09 new body stlye are longer and you can get your seat back pretty far. Audi and the german cars are most geneous in the headroom and legroom department.

Replying to: Arroyojon (Nov 26, 2008 7:02 pm) I have an older TT coupe and am of normal height (6') but with size 14 feet. The pedals are a bit cramped with my feet. I tried a new 09 and found more legroom, but still tight pedals. A friend is very tall - 6'7 with a 40" inseam. She can wedge into the passenger seat in my TT, but it is impossible for her to get behind the wheel. Of course her proportion is mostly leg. There are visibility issues in a TT and you should definitely try one for an extended period (at least an hour) and mix up the driving. good luck
#10 of 11 TTS Test Drive by mulligan101 Mar 14, 2009 (5:17 am)
I drove a TTS yesterday and was quite impressed by the car. After a brief lag, the power comes on in a rush and the car is extremely quick. Even in the sport setting, the ride is fine unless the road surface is quite poor. The dual clutch auto shifts very quickly and smoothly. I am 6'2" with long legs and there was plenty of room. I was also surprised by the decent sight lines out the right rear corner of the car. The only downside to the ride was that I could not come close to exploring the limits on public roads.
