This might be a dumb question but is the accelerator pedal on the Gen 5 1500s too close to the transmission tunnel? Reason why I ask is I have sometimes experienced knee pain when driving vehicles with a weird pedal placement in the foot well. My current A4 despite being much smaller than a 1500 actually has excellent proportions/seating position. I know a 1500 would be much taller and therefore more suited to my lower back pain issues, but I'm not sure I'd want to "trade" one pain issue for a new one.
