Title: Under Seat Drawer?
Post by: pauliem on 11 April 2013, 14:26
Just noticed that "Driver and front passenger under seat drawer" is included as standard equipment, is that correct?

I know it is not much of a feature, but always wanted this.  Will there be space for the drawer in a car with Dynaudio as that normally fits under the passenger seat.

I love them, brilliant place for your high vis and breathalisers when in France and secret chocolate stash that the gf can't find.

Had a look in a MK7 (GT Spec) over the weekend, and the drawers look the same size as the ones I had on my MK5 Golf (i.e. bloody tiny).

Couldn't fit the Golf user manual in there or anything really worthwhile, so ended up with Pens, USB cables etc. Better to have it than not, but the drawers on my wife's 2011 Polo are huge in comparison. She can fit the user manual, umbrellas etc into hers and that's a smaller car !

Just found a drawing of the drawers from the MK7 Golf (if it helps) from the MK7 Interior Body repair service document I downloaded from VW's Ewin site.

That looks smaller than the current Mk6 drawer, but I've had them on all 10 of me Golf's to date!

Blimey - wouldn't go so far as to call that a drawer! But very helpful image anyway.

Still looks useful though.

Had a rummage in one at the dealership today whilst my car had it's service and mot, i'd say it has the space of a small loaf of bread inside, i wouldn't pay for it but a handy space none the less.
