I'm 6'1" and I really have no problem seeing the gauges in my A4q (2.8).  
Maybe the sport seats have a little more under leg cushioning, so you sit a 
tad higher than the standard seats (cloth or leather)?  That may be the 
difference.

The seat is as low as it will go.  Since my head isn't bumping
up against the roof, I am just a little surprised that I have to duck
to see the top of the gauges.  Maybe you drive in a more laid-back 
position than I do?  I could lean the chair back a little more, but 
my little one in the back probably won't like that...
