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.
