Didn't you drive it before you bought it? I'm 6'4" and I couldn't drive
my wife's A4 for very long. It's just not built for tall people.

Odd thing, I'm only 6' and my right leg used to ache terribly after driving
my A4 for more than an hour or so. Took me a while to notice the culprit -
for a while I thought was just getting old!! Then I spent about 9 hours in
my A4 over a couple of days and could hardly stand the next day!!!
IMO, I think the main problem was there being very little 'spring' (or
feedback) in the gas pedal, causing ny foot to be lightly balanced, causing
tension especially down the lower leg.
I now drive a Ford Galaxy, which apart from a completely different driving
position also has an accelerator that has more positive feedback and you can
'rest' your foot on - but need to press hard to go faster. I haven't
noticed *any* pain since.
FWIW my brother-in-law, who is 6'5" does about 2,500 miles a month in his 03
Passat (basically an earlier A4) and I've never heard him say anything other
than how comfortable it is.

Re: ruined my life
I had a similar issue with my A6 except it was my lower back. I'd been
driving A6's and 100's for 7 years putting on approximately 55-60K per
year due to my commute. I had a 91 100, 92 100s, and a 98 A6 Avant. The
thing is, they all had the same exact seats! I'm not a tall guy, only
5'9" but I was experiencing pretty severe back pain every day. My remedy
was to buy an A8! It's like sitting in a recliner and since I bought it,
I haven't had any back pain at all!
