Just a couple question on the seating.
1) Are the seats/comfort different between the Golf and JSW?
2) Particularly the driver seat and pedals between the Golf and JSW. I like to elevate the seat as high as possible. (I went to Hudson Valley VW but only sat in a 2010 GTI)
3) Also the rear seat leg room would you say is the same?
thanks!
1) Yes. Sit in a 2.5 gasser Golf seat. Same seat in the TDI. GTI seat is
different I THINK, certainly different fabric. The TDI Golf and Golf 2.5
seat does have "sport" bolstering. Side bolsters are more pronounced
than the JSW seats and the previous Rabbit & Mk IV Golf. As to
"comfort", well it depends what you like and what works for you.
2) I got the impression that there was more hight adj. in the Golf but I
could get comfy in either - except for the crappy v-tex in the JSW.
3) You can check the specs. on that one but when I adj. the front seat to be comfortable for me and then sit in the back I think the rear seat legroom was close enough that I'd call it the same.
The new Golf TDI gave me the impression that it had more front seat track travel back than the JSW, but I don't need all the travel. I'm 5'10" w/33 or 34" inseem. In our Mk. IV Golf I usually have the seat one notch forward from the rearmost position and 3 lever cranks down from the highest position. I didnt need nearly as much of the seat track travel in the latest Golf TDI.
