Default Leg room difference between coupe and roadster?

I'm 6"6 and actually fit just fine in the TT. Most recently drove an m5, and my TT has more room. Anyway, wondering how roadster leg room differs from TT if at all.

Just sat in both today and didn't notice any appreciable difference.

Default Actually, the seat back is a concern for me - it doesn't go back as far in the Roadster, doh!

It depends on where you like the seat back. If you rake it forward, the leg length feels the same. However, raking it back reduces the rear travel of the seat, the drop, or both.

The TT has more room than any of the BMWs I tried (Z3, M5, 328) and much more room than the Porsche Boxster (at 6'4", I had trouble getting out of that one).

I'm 6'4". The ability to rake the seat back further in the Coupe than in the Roadster is a big advantage. I fit passibly in the Roadster by cranking the seat back forward, then making sure I have the seat bottom as low as it can go, then cranking the seat back as far back as it can go. Finally, the adjustable steering wheel has to go up and out all the way so my knees aren't stuck against the support that comes from the dash down to the center console. A bit of a contortion but worth it.

Default OT: Thanks. My license plate. My housemate has the plate REDCHILE (more)

so when we're planning a trip, we have to start with the New Mexico state question: "Red or green?"

The TT I have on order is, of course, desert green. She's planning to get a
truck, hopefully in blue, that will carry the plate BLUE CORN.
