Hello,
Just wondering what other Scirocco drivers driving seat position is like? Are you high, low? Upright or leant back? Can you see your bonnet/front of the car or is the dash your horizon?
I'm 6ft, so at the moment I have my seat quite low, I can't see the bonnet, but my head eye level is around the halfway point in the windscreen. I'm not too upright so have my wheel out a bit further to compensate. I might change that. My legs are halfway between stretched right out and at a right angle, I guess.
Also wondering what the pros and cons of having the seat higher are?
Cheers!
What's your driving position like?

I have my seat all the way down. Feel low as possible. Don't know why but I love that driving position. Can't see my bonnet.

My other Vw's have been on the floor but I can't see shit in the rocco & I'm just over 6ft too. In my old zeds my seat was right back & on the floor lol

Around 6ft and like you guys i'm low down and can't see my bonnet. Not sure if any of you have experienced this but i feel like my steering wheel is too high? I've lowered it all the way and still feels far too high, unlike my Civic before my rocco.

I have the seat back leaning as far forward as it will go. The seat as low as it goes and one click off as far back as it goes. I'm 6' and this works for me
