them have excellent pedal placement, IMO. In none of those cars has
my leg ever touched the console, unless I wanted it to.
E.P.

It must be the individual because I have been a bit uncomfortable from my thigh |
current '04 A4 1.8 TQM. It is just enough to be a bit annoying on longer trips
(four hours or more - fairly often for me). Now that I think of it I think this
was an issue for me in the four T44 series that I owned also.

rather wide, and the loud pedal is squished right up against the side of
it. I ran across this when test driving an '02 A6 - a real shame, too,
'cause otherwise I really liked the car. Same thing with an '02 A4 I
drove the same day.
