I'm 6'2", 200lbs.

Have an 07 C6 coupe with solid top.

I'm satisfied with the room. Better than most sports cars would be.

Head room is fine except when wearing a helmet. Leg room is marginal and I'd like an extra inch or two.

..........At 5' 18" its a whole different world inside since the C5's came out after having 2 different C4's. When the basketball players get thru with their Esca-sleds......they'll be in Corvettes!

I'm 6'1, 230lbs, 34" inseam and brown hair if that matters

I'm actually checking out an '05 6 spd...that's why I'm asking

I've only driven the A6 coupe, never the 6 spd though. I have also heard that just the seat adjustment can make a huge difference in the head/foot room.

I'm the short one on the forum
6'0" and 200 lbs, plenty of room for me, but I do hit the steering wheel with my knee from time to time, but that's due to my driving position, like to sit in there via taught at an Audi driving school

I'm 6'4 and 235 with a 36 inch inseam. I fit fine with the seat all the way back but then I do have to have a full reach with my arms to get to the steering wheel. It's not uncomfortable but I would probably try it out first if I were you. Another few inches and it might be trouble.

Don't know where you're from, but do what I did.
I drove down to Kerbeck and sat in a few different models. Wanted a vert and found out that the vert actually had the most headroom. Ended up driving home in one.
6'3" 245 and no problems at all..............except this damn cold weather.
