2006 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	most comfortable seats out of the Totoya Matrix, Mazda 3, Honda fit, Nissan Versa see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Excellent seats and comfort, however occasionally find the seats a bit narrow and the foot well can be tight in some shoes. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
2007	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	The front seats offer great lateral support. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The sport seats in the basic black leatherette are nicely bolstered though not overly enveloping like seats in my FR-S. This means it hits a nice middle ground of comfort but still keeping you from being thrown around in aggressive driving. The manually adjusted seats are easily positioned to a comfortable state after you figure out which of the 4 levers is doing what. The adjustible thigh support is especially nice and not something I often see in this segment. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
2007	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Zero fatigue on long drives, natural driving position see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
2007	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Same as a small sedan, dead pedal, loads of head room see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
2007	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	High roof line gives sedan-like head room, lots of foot room. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review

2006 Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Great for my kids (4 and 7) but small for adults. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
2006	4dr Hatch 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Seats could be firmer though adequate. It has no lumbar support and expended use probably will change the shape of the foam used in the seat. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review
