4dr Golf Trunk Space

Hi. New to the forum and curious about something. I recently got rid of a high mileage 03' Jetta Wagon that was my first car at a significant loss that I loved but was not taken care of by the previous owner and needed everything. Loved the car, regret selling it, and looking to replace it with a Jetta sedan or Golf for weight savings/fuel economy.

What I'm curious about is the trunk space of the 4 door Golf. I do believe I heard somewhere that both the two rear seats as well as the front passenger seat fold down flush
Is there anyone that could provide photos of their interior?
Is it big enough for a smaller person to sleep in relatively comfortably like the Jetta Wagon was for me? Thanks.

Maybe you can find one in a VW dealer (or car lot) in your area to look at?
I need the wagon to carry all my crapusta around.

Rear seats on the Golf don't fold flat like the do on the wagon. And the cargo area is about a foot longer on the wagon. Rear seat area is the same on both cars.

I think you'd have to swap in a passenger seat from a 2dr model to get one that folded forward, and even then, it wouldn't be flat.

If you remove the headrests from the back seat and lift the bottom cushions, you can get it to fold nearly flat. There's about a three inch height difference between the seats and the trunk floor, but it's good enough for moving bulky items. Obviously you're not going to have the same amount of room as a wagon, but it's pretty spacious.

This goes for Golfs and Jettas, but Jettas will have some obstruction on the sides.

I will be selling a wagon and a golf...not that far from you.

I built a false floor for mine so the folded rear seats are flush with trunk floor...

I have a 4 door gas'er golf, I will try to take a pic for you, remind me if you don't get the answer you want.

yes they did. You had to flip up the bottom seat cushions to allow the seat backs to fold flat. The head rests fit into slots in the bottom seat cushion.

Hans- If you're wanting to sleep in it I highly recommend you find one and stretch out in it.
If you google"vw a4 golf rear interior", click on images, there are a couple
