RE: The 97 A4Q: My First Impressions

["Jonathan Linkov" <ValiumNJ@msn.com>]

I am 6 foot one and I really have ZERO problems with the seats.  In fact, I am 
sometimes sitting too LOW, especially after a valet or service guy drives the 
car.  Maybe there are problems with the bushings in your car?  Extra ones?  
This was a malady of the original 924, and the subsequent models did wothout 
the seat spacers/bushings altogether.  Maybe you should check on that.  Just a 
suggestion.

No, no. Since we both (my SO and I) drive it, I am still experimenting with
a comfortable seating position. But even when the seat is all the way down,
my head still touches the ceiling - maybe you don't have the glass
moon-roof? Maybe my seatback is just too upright.
