Tiguan boot space

[avalasia]

i have found that i need to drop 1 of the rear seats to fit my bag and cart.

If only there were a few more cm's of space in the boot, im not asking for tooo much

[jimbomort]

Are your back seats forward in their tracks or right back ?

good question and they look right back to me, note where rear seat matches side wall of boot space on left, there'd be a big gap there if the seat was forward.

I haven't measured the travel, but I had to pick up some bulky stuff this morning, and the rear seat travel made all the difference, the boot space is quite good with the seat slid forward - and seems like there is at least 15-20cm of travel there for the back seats to slide on.

So by the looks of that photo the Golf clubs would fit easily with the back seat slid forward on its travel

I generally move the right hand seat forward about half way

In the pic the seats are all the way back

Are you saying that the clubs wont fit in with the seat forward ? If not then to me it's not a big issue but then it wouldn't worry me at all to have to put the 1/3 seat right down to fit something in, it is after all a very easy seat to fold down and up.

That's right, they don't fit unless the seats are moved

At the start of this thread is a pic of clubs that fit with no seat
movement. I was just highlighting that a real set of clubs won't
fit, pretty disapointing in an suv

Sorry but I think you're grizzling about nothing, particularly if they WILL fit with just 1/3 of the back seat forward in its track. To me it's a bit like complaining you're 7 feet tall and can't fit behind the steering wheel without moving the seat back as far as it will go !!

Personally I think the Tig's got heaps of boot space and the adjustable and foldable rear seats and front passenger seat make it an extremely versatile gear carrier for it's size.

Guess it's "horses for courses" and if you need a bigger car buy a bigger car.

I should have asked you for the extra 30 grand for the Toureg

Whose grizzling, I can't show people who are going to make a decision on a vehicle that a full size set of clubs won't fit in the boot?

So if I want to take a couple of friends for a game of golf and to fit in three or more sets of clubs and I have to slide the seat forward then what should I do with their legs? Put them in the tiny boot with the clubs and trolleys?

How about you just don't say anything unless it's constructive to the thread instead of telling me to just buy a bigger car?

Roof box?
Trailer?

Alternatively, get the cargo barrier and stand the club bags on a 45-degree angle.

Or just take 2 cars, 2 people per car with 2 bags is easily done.

I'll qualify myself first - I don't have my Tig yet, only had the test drive.
But when I did test drive it I put the driver's seat in the position I would have it in and then slid the back seat forward and sat in it.
I'm 184cm tall and the rear leg room was still fine for me. Maybe I have a very forward driving position...
