Default TT Ergonomics?

My morning commute takes me past a dealer with a white TT coupe on display. Is the TT suitable for a 6'3" driver with a tall torso? Thank you!

Better the long body than long legs. And short (or no) hair.

Default Lots of very tall TT drivers. Just make sure that you find

the lowering device on the lower left side of the driver's seat. Some of the dealers forget to show you that feature. Give it a try, you'll love it.

Default Re: TT for Tall Drivers

I am 6'5" and have had a TTR for a year, with no space or legroom problems !

Default The opposite is true, too.

I'm 5'1" and have no trouble reaching everything with the seat and the wheel positioned for me, while still not having many (any) blind spots.

Default Test Drive to be sure!

I'm tall and I <b>do</b> get uncomfortable on long drives. In fact, I had to drive my wife's A4 for a few days and it reminded me just how cramped I am in the TT.

For reference, I'm 6'0 with long legs and a long torso.

OtoH, I wouldn't give up my TT for anything (OK, perhaps for one that didn't have so many #$@! rattles!)...

Default 6'4" no problems in TT Coupe. Go try it on for size and make sure to

adjust the seat to the lowest position. Think you'll find there's plenty of room once your in. Just watch your head while entering. After you drive it, you won't be able to resist the car anyway 8).
