Due to the recent warm weather, I managed to drive the Golf... And I have to report the seating position (with the lower seats and steering wheel adapter) is awesome. I truly love it. I feel much more connected tot the car than previously. As of now, so after only a 15km (9 mile) drive, I have to say the mods are worth it. Compared to the driving position in my previous 7
