*tried reviving an old topic similar to this but inquiring about dogs, mine has to do with surfboards and sleeping..so i guess it's best i make a new thread since people are replying in response to the first post..sorry! *
i'm looking between both a golf 4dr and a jetta wagon (both A4). my requirements are mostly on the roofspace with carrying surfboards (6' to almost 10' long) and a kayak (9.5') up there. in my pontiac vibe i currently own i also have the fortune of the rear seats folding flat and also the front passenger back folds forward and i can fit my longboards inside the car when it's too cold (or i'm too lazy) to strap it up top.
my other requirement is space as far as roadtrips go. i'm taking a maine to california trip with a friend this summer and it'd be ideal to have a backup to sleep in ( at least semi-comfortably). i've read the thread Zoinks posted about a seat mod for the golf to camp out in. but am still debating.
in my excitement of looking at both i didn't happen to go through the cars folding the seats. do either (golf/wagon) rear seats fold flat? what of the front passenger? what would you guys recommend for my needs? mostly concerned with roof space which i feel is fairly similar, with a slight edge to the wagon, but also having interior options is good too.
