I testdrove an '02 A6, encountered the same problems you are describing,
and in fact passed it up for that very reason. Meanwhile, my '03 Passat
is much better in this regard. It's not that the car is bigger, but the
center console is much more reasonably sized. (Late-'90s, early-'00s
Audis seem to all have *huge* center consoles for some reason.) I've
only seen pics of the new A6, but it looks like it might be roomier down
in the leg area.

Try the New A6..
I sat in a new 2005 A6 and didn't notice any console interference with my
leg as you describe.
I am 6' 1".

Re: I'm SICK....the A4 has to go!
The side bolster also seems to literally cut into the back of my thigh. I
don't understand why it doesn't affect my left leg. The car was fine for the
first few months....but with my on the road for almost 45 minutes....the
aching began in the back of my leg. Then the tingling in my foot. Any other
tall drivers out there? Was my Passat that much different? Ugh! It sucks to
be tall.
