Electric driver's seat - memory function?

[X-Rated]

Have searched other threads, and it's still not obvious to me if the electric adjustable driver's seat (available only with the leather) includes a memory, or stored settings, function.

If it means not bashing the crap out of my knees every time I get in after my wife has been driving, it might even be worth $600!

No - no memory function, unfortunately.

I would have ordered it if it had memory. Didn't seem worth the money otherwise.

Yeh doesn't seem like you get much value for the electronic option without memory.

+1 for would have ordered if it had memory. VW, Are you listening?

Electric seats are utterly useless without a memory function.

Without it they are just slower to adjust.

Once you have memory seats, you can never buy a car without them again.

So what's your plan with the 118TSI?

The Golf is for my wife, I won't be driving it.

I have an XF.

There's not much point to getting, agree.

Do the standard leather seats still have electric 4-way control for lumbar support adjustments (as was standard on the R32 on both seats) or have a leaver like the cloth ones?

The leather option in the GTI / GTD / R also gives you the seat heating and the electric 4-way control for the lumbar support, on both seats.

If Ford was able to put memory seats into a Falcon back in the 80's, why can't VW do it now?

It's not exactly necessary, just another gizmo..
