VW Golf Leg & Head Room for Tall Driver

[gregozedobe]

I'd suggest all you "vertically advantaged" people out there cross off the Liberty (and Outback) from your list, I'm only 6' 2" and I felt a bit like I was driving a letter box !

However, if you want an upright driving position, with room for a top hat as well !, then try a VW T5 Transporter (or Multivan, unless they have c0cked it up with too much ceiling trim. And it is a surprisingly good, comfortable highway cruiser (but less adept in heavy, stop-start traffic).

I am 6'4" and it was the only hatch that I fitted into.

It's better than my Dad's VZ bommodore and it's a much bigger car.

Plenty of room. And unlike a late model Falcon EA-BF or commodore VT on the windscreen isnt in your forehead.

Yet to try the latest FG, but we'll see.

Thank You!

Thanks all for your replies. I picked up my new Golf GTI on NYE. I can't believe how much room there actually is in these cars. Fantasic for tall drivers.

This forum has been fantastic, a wealth of information and certainly assisted me with my final decision on the Golf.

Hi All

Thinking about getting myself a Golf GTI, however, I'm 6"4' and a little worried about legroom for tall drivers. Are there any other tall drivers that can comment on the Golf's leg / head room before I head down to the local dealer to take a closer inspection?

Thanks

my boyf is 6'4 and drives my polo gti quite comfortably. I don't think you will have any issues at alll in a golf gti

I'm only 5'11" , but I have the seat adjusted forward so my left foot fits on the footrest (DSG), and I have the steering wheel all the way back.

When I look at how far forward the seat is, I feel a little self-conscious, because it's so far forward compared to any other vehicle I've had.

These little babies have enormous space for drivers, as all the above beanpoles have attested.

I reckon tall blokes shouldn't be allowed to buy any other car

Nothin' at all wrong with 5' 11" mate, in fact I reckon it's the perfect size, just quietly!

Jesus how many people on this forum are so rediculously tall.
I'm amazed.

Hi Doink, I am 6'4" and own a MKV 5 door GTI. which has plenty of head room and a comfortable driving position.

As per my previous post, you've convinced me and I've purchased my new car..
