I find the seats and general driving position one of the most comfortable I've ever experienced (standard GTI cloth trim).
Hate the floor mounted pedal though.

The floor mounted pedal is one of my favourite bits! My mate has a TVR T350C and all 3 pedals are floor hinged - its a beast!

I have a Mk5 GTI with cloth seats and they are brilliant! I drove a 140 mile round trip last week and got out feeling fresh as a daisy - no problems. I also find it amazing how many comments i get about the seats.

The different height of the pedals makes my driving position a compromise, Stupid VW for putting them at different heights, stupid VW copying BMW with the hinged throttle they should know better.

.................Er no, the post code issue has not been sorted ether, and I was told by VW that it wouldnt???


Not according to Mortygt


Don't worry people full post code is coming just having to wait till Vw release the next firmware update...the new RNS850 that is in the new Touareg has a new 8" screen seperate 60gb hdd and some fancy gadgets but its gui is the same has the RNS510 so I can see most of it coming out on a firmware and the next maps.

Either way as I hardly use it, it matters little.

Personally I don't believe anything VW tell me but that's just me.

I'm not going to back any thing up here but was it not said that originally the RNS510 was not capable of any thing over 2gb sd cards never mind SDHC it took a firmware update to do this,  And in my opinion VW dealer are usually the last to know any thing,  If I need to know any thing my friend who works for audi/vw  lets me know whats coming, 

Full post code WILL come just maybe a few months when the new maps and firmware comes.

Thanks for the response

I have added a post to that group buy thread

What do you mean by golfball (nothing comes up on google). I am getting upper back pain, I think because the seats are very narrow and very hard. I have tried adjusting them to no avail. I have been on two longish journeys now and both times it has been torture.

Does nobody else have any issues with the seats? I can only find one other post complaining about them.

 Golfball  :laugh: does not take alot of working out,i would guess that the female Golf drivers dont suffer from this  :wink: :grin:

No definitely no Golfball for me :grin:
