Tall drivers

Are there any tall drivers here who have a Q5? I'm 6'5" and have been wondering if the leg room is sufficient for us tall drivers.

Thanks for any help.

6' 2" no complaints thus far... but my last car was Boxster so I may not be the right person to ask.

Not 6'5", but 6'2" and I've put the driver's seat in the most comfortable position for me then jumped in the back seat to test out the room. I have to say I was reasonably comfortable back there to the point where I would have no problem going for a two hour ride to the mountains sitting behind myself (huh?). Much further might be a bit of a stretch but certainly doable.

6'3" and plenty of leg room. Don't even have the seat all the way back. The real limitation is the distance the steering wheel will telescope. No trouble getting comfortable though.

6'1 and plenty of room. I don't have my seat nearly all the way back either. Your best way to judge is to go sit in the car and try it out.

My son in law is 6'10" and he feels very comfortable in the driver's seat. Enough space all round. He did not even have the seat set all the way back either. I am 6' and with him in the driver's seat, I still had enough room in the back to feel comfortable. He just wanted the steering to pull out little a bit further, but at maximum distance it was reasonable.
