Default S3 for tall people

I am 6'3" and drove 2 S3's. I seem to fit ok, but when I checked specs, it has less headroom than the A4/S4. My current A4 I fit in fine, but there is not much head room left. Just looking for opinions on taller drivers fitting in S3. I drove one with the super sport seats with manual adjustment and 1 with standard sport seats with power adjustments.

I too am 6'3" and don't have any issues with headroom in my S3 (in the front seats). Mine has the power sport seats. I've had it for 8 months and would buy it again. Way more fun to drive, quicker and more nimble, than my S4.

I'm 6'5" and have Been driving mine for 6 months and have no issues and have the standard power seats. The seat behind me is pretty much useless but that's the case with every car I drive.

Im 6'5" and with the sunroof I wish the roof line was a little higher, but its definitely not uncomfortable. I wear a shorter mohawk and sometimes my hair will barely touch the headliner and its super annoying.

With the power seat you have seating height adjustment. Do the manual Super Sport seats have a height adjustment?

I am 6'4" and tried an A3 and it felt cramped. My B8 A4 feels much roomier. I used to have a B5 A4 and it also felt roomier than the A3.

Does the seats of the S3 makes a difference compared to the A3 ?

Another thing that bugs me about the A3 is the wheel well protruding into the foot area on the passenger side.

6' here. Only issue I have is that I need to bend my head down to see traffic lights.

6'2" here. I don't feel cramped in my S3 at all. Visibility is better in this car than my 2001 TT (for instance, it's a little easier to see stoplights if I'm at the front of the line in this car).
