Default Last question from me Re: S4+Big people

Thanks to everyone who responded below, but I have one last question: How similar (with regards to leg/head room) is the interior of the A4 to the S4, both with and w/o the sunroof?
I would ask the dealer, but I want an honest answer, not the "whatever it takes to get you to buy the S4" answer.

Thanks.

Default very similar. I have owned both, im 6'2" and fit fine with the sunroof. I would certainly

sit in one before buying it. Where do you live? i am sure someone inyour area would be willing to let you sit in their S4.

Default I'm 6' (inseam 31"), and the manual seats are DEFINITELY lower.

When I was in Germany, I sat in the coveted Recaro's in the S4 Avant, and I had much more head clearance than the U.S. power seats.

My hair actually rubs the headliner a bit (with the seat in it's lowest configuration), and during Driving Events, Having a helmet is a bit annoying as I have to have my head crooked all the time. Not good when you are trying to see towards the left in a 120 degree sweeper.

I have the sunroof though.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=3559"><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/jyoteen_sig3.gif" border="0"></a>

I think my (electric) A4 2.8 seats were a touch lower than the S4 also.

Sat in both 2000 A4 with power seats and S4. A4 definitely has more headroom.
