new EV on Monday - thanks, also lease deal

tnkenyon <[email protected]>
 

Thanks to those who responded to my query regarding GLS vs MV. I
actually got to see a tornado red GLS at a closed dealer today, and
by golly, it was unlocked. I have been in a GLS before a while back,
but after borrowing an MV for a weekend and then sitting in this GLS
I realized that the GLS has significantly more legroom in the front
seats as some listers mentioned. Being 6'4", with a tall wife as
well, that sealed it for us, we will get a GLS. Also decided we
didn't like the red as much as we thought we would, so it'll be the
default silver.

As for the lease deal someone asked about, it is the green light
lease where VW pays your first month's payment, and there are no
other up front charges. You pay nothing at all for one month. And
this is not one of those deals where they just roll it back in later
in the lease. It is an excellent lease, and we are getting $1000 off
sticker (on an '03) to boot.

Ok, I'm having a hard time understanding this. How the heck can it
have "significantly more legroom" when it's the same vehicle with
the same seats? I have a Weekender, and I'm 6'2", and my seat goes
all the way back. The tilt of the seat *back* may be limited because
it runs into the rear facing seat back, but the base is exactly the
same. How can this impact legroom?

(And fwiw, I easily found a happy medium between for both seats to
be comfortable since the attitude of the rear facing seat back can
be changed, it simply means that neither seat can have an excessive
amount of recline)

AZ - With the MV driver seat in a comfortable position (for me at 6'3") the
rear facing seat back directly behind the driver would have to be set very
upright. Try telling a kid that he had to sit that way for 4 hours. (I've
done all this because I would really prefer the MV layout - It just does not
work out for the above reason.
This isn't something there can be any disagreement about. Driver seat
adjustment adequacy is subjective from anatomy to anatomy - not just total
height counts, but also arm length, torso height, and leg length. But there
is a real difference between the two configurations in this regard that
might be a deal killer for some for the MV.
