Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Does your knee hit the steering column?

I have my seat all the way back, and the wheel out as far as possible, it's height adjusted so the top of the wheel rim is just above my line of sight to the top of the MFI screen (so I can see what gear I'm in). The height of the seat is somewhere in the middle.

5'10", a year on and still haven't found my preferred sitting position. Had this dicussion earlier in the year here, and it was the same problems with the knee hitting the steering column when you get close enough to bend your elbows (with the steering extended and the seat at it's lowest). I guess VW should allow more scope for the seats and steering to be adjusted.[MK6 GTI MY11 CW 3-door DSG Sunroof Detroits Dark Tint R LEDs APR Stage 1 (regrettably a few years late)]

i'm 5'9" and think i've finally found a mostly comfortable position, about 90% as mfl puts it.
basically the trick i found was to raise the seat by quite a bit, which allows you to lift the steering wheel off your knees. it's still not optimal (i'd like to be closer to the wheel, i fail the wrist-over-rim test by a few inches) but at least my legs are comfortable and i can afford to recline enough to stop the headrest banging my head all the time.
the pedals just seem too far forward to me, but again i'm used to a coupe where you seem to have your legs through the firewallCurrent: MY18 Golf R 7.5 DSG - FOR SALE
