I picked up my new Mk 3 SE CVT today and one of the first things I checked was front legroom, after reading an
old thread here about the being a problem for taller people.
I had test driven it before reading that thread and had not noticed a problem, but was concerned that I hadn't really evaluated legroom.
Now that I have the car I am relieved to find there is plenty of leg room for me (6 ft 1in), with the seat in high or low positions even without it being fully back.
Maybe I have short legs, but have not been aware of it before
