Well, I have tested this with two basically equal cars, but different seats. My 16V has default Recaros, set on lowest position. OK, its feels not low enough. I see like a hawk. Rallye, which is also Golf, has different, leather seats (a million, btw) which are lower than Recaros. And I still see like a hawk. And even feel better, because it somehow feels that Rallye has wider and bigger interior! Effect of low seats? I like it. US cars are big, doors are thick, sitting is farther from windows, usually thick pillars... But its also cool to drive like a tank ;-)

'Sportier' styling = worse visibility. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
