Just something that got me thinking. Whilst the seats in the GTD I have are very supportive (I assume they are the same basic seat as the "R" and "GTI" models with different coverings ?), having been in a few different cars over the holidays it did get me wondering.
I went out with 3 friends, two with VAG cars and one with a Mercedes Benz. My friends have an Audi A3 sportback (S-Line), a Golf MK7 R-Line (not R) with the Ergo-active seats) and a MB A220D AMD Line.
All 3 of these cars have seat cushions where are extendable for under thigh support. I hadn't really thought about this before, but when I extended the cushion on all 3 cars, it transformed the seats from very to extremely comfortable. I'm quite tall (6'1") and have quite long legs, and after a long journey in the GTD, whilst the seats do pretty well, the one area that's just starting to ache are my upper legs.
I was just wondering why even the lower trim level R-Line and GT models Golf's have extendable seat cushions but the performance models don't ?
