My Ride: 525d E60
sat in it, don't fit so didn't even drive it..... I use the top 10cm of the window even when the seat is at its lowest position...
also because the auto transmission was not available yet at that time.
but it looks nice. At the time very nice but now the A4 is already on the same path and it's becoming common.

1 meter 96 cm's but it's also about the ratio between leg length/arm length/body length.
perfect set up for me is a steering wheel that comes closer and pedals further away from the back of the seat.
My seat now has a longer sitting part that supports my upper leg to the knee.

On a slight dissappointing note, I though Audi would try to acheive a near 50/50 weight balance on the car. Its like 57/43. But, based on reviews the chassis dynamics are really good. Guess the BMW engineers they hired are doing a fine job over in Inglostadt.
