Seat Pain?
Okay...here's a weird one...I'm 6'5" and I've noticed, lately, that the back
of my right thigh begins to ache after driving for about 20 minutes. It
gets so bad, that my toes feel numb. I'm driving an A4....had a
passat...didn't have that trouble. Are the seats smaller?

Re: Seat Pain?
I'm 6'4" myself and I found a great deal of relief by making the lumbar
support more prominent. Otherwise, you might try to raise the front of the
seat (if you have power seats) until your thigh is supported or move the
seat back to accomplish the same thing. Although I'll bet your seat is
already all the way back!

I'm not sure if the seats height-adjust in a similar fashion to the TT (it's
fairly common) - they actually tilt, so that lowering the seat angles the
rear of the seat downwards.
What you end up with is the front of the seat higher than the rear. Which
can dig into the underside of your thigh, and possibly cut off the
circulation. I didn't get a lack of circulation, but it *did* take a while
to get the seat "just right".
Next time you're out, try raising the seat as high as you can, and see if
the problem goes away. From there, it's a matter of fine-tuning the cricked
neck vs. leg numbness ;o)
