Default Re: Rear seats...

Not so. With the backseats folded down, you can't put the front seats all the way back.

Default Re: Rear seats...

I'll have to try it. I can certainly put them back to where it's comfortable for me, but I'm about 6' with shoes on. Maybe it wouldn't work for someone 6'4".<p><img src="http://home.san.rr.com/winefinds/1.gif" border="0">

Default Comfortable, but doomed to never go racing

Removing the driver's side brace makes a great improvement in comfort for me. I'm 6'3" and couldn't drive the TT with the brace in place. Our dealer says it's structural, so I won't race it or remove the passenger side brace.

If you need rear seats and are tall you should consider an A4 or S4. The TT is just a two seater. If you are tall like we are, you can easily remove both seat backs and it will open up the entire rear area to being much more practical for carrying stuff. The storage improvement is nice.


Roger, 180TTQ No brace, No rear seat backs.

Default The knee pad snaps off. That made a big difference for me (6'4")

The car wasn't really much fun to drive with it on (the pressure from the pad was a constant annoyance). It's great with the knee pad gone. FWIW, I also have size 14 feet, and the combination of that and leg length meant that leaving it on wasn't an option.

The TT is, by the way, the first sports car I've tried that I actually fit in since I got my Corrado 7 years ago.

Default Re: I'm 6'5" and I have a question for you tall folks.

I'm 6'8" and have had a 225 coupe for 7 months - you get used to the knee pad quite quickly - the TT is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven - but thats a personal view. Try it with & without the kneepad and see what you find the best.
