Seat height in 2019 gti performance

Maybe it would - but impressions count. Its how you feel sat in the car even if you are physically higher/lower.

I think they do a really good job with the seats considering all the sizes and shapes of people that buy them, my 2 mates for example that both have had golf's in the past couldn't be different, one is 6'7" and 25 stone plus and the other about 5'5" and drives in the most ridiculous 'gangster lean' I've ever seen in my life to the point of not being able to get his hands above half way up the wheel without leaning forward, still both never had any complaints..... but they did look stupid when driving!

Totally agree that the seat is too high. I’m in a 2019 GTI-Performance with electric adjustment and leather trim. I’ve found having the tilt lowered is helpful in keeping the seating position lower.

Having said that, after driving 1300mi this week (Melbourne to Brisbane), the comfort this seat provides is next level, despite wishing it would go lower.

SIDE NOTE: has anybody else got electric adjustment and find that you need to lower the seat each time you get back in the car, because it somehow raises it slightly once you stop and get out? It seems like it’s a couple of minutes delay before it does it. Super frustrating!

When I'm hoovering the footwell of the Tig, 9 times out of 10, I'll look round and the seat backrest is completely flat.
