The Gtd is a great car but we need the higher up seating position (my back is getting worse and won't ever be better). I know it's only a trivial thing to most but I'm struggling to get in and out of the golf due to reduced mobility. Don't have the same problem with the higher seating position of the Tig. I can't decide between white or reflex silver, bearing in mind my old Tig was white and the golf is white. Looking to spec winter and mirror pack, 19”wheels, rear camera, paddle shift and full tpms. Passed on keyless and lane assist.

I've found that driving the Up! for the best part of a week and its upright driving position is wrecking the inside of my right knee, different point of pivot for working the throttle pedal (and having to push it a lot harder!).
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Have you looked at the Golf SV - that's got higher seats.

Yeah but the rest is s4ite. I still want something youthful with a bit of poke and you can only get 150psi engine on sv. Ordered a 184 Tiguan R Line today, should be here in 8 weeks or so.
