What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI

2012 Volkswagen Golf / GTI Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Four adults can easily and comfortably fit in this car, with plenty of room for luggage. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review
2011	2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD	Seats actually fit your body and have proper bolstering, unlike most other seats in this price range which are more like shelves for oversized American behinds. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review
2011	4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Good leg room and supportive seats. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review
2011	4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Good leg room for a small car. Supportive seats. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review
2011	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I have MS, so comfortable seats are a must. This is the only car that I've been in where I could do a non-stop trip from Michigan to Washington DC in. No fatigue, no stopping for a stretch. It's that good, and VW throws in standard heated seats for the GTI. And they do mean "heated" seats, not "warmed" seats, not "take-the-edge-off" seats. Turn them on full and your bum will be roasting with in a few minutes. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review
2011	4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Firm, supportive seats. Not too hard. Should be excellent for long road trips. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review
2011	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Firm, yet comfortable. Excellent lateral support in the turns. Excellent thigh support fro taller driver. Can sit for hours and still feel comfortable. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review
