LEGROOM! - testme2011 - 01-04-2011 08:03pm
What are peoples thoughts on the rear leg room for the 5 Door version?
Are 2 adults comfortable to travel in the back?
Has anyone compared rear leg room to other cars for comparison?

Door size is almost exactly the same as the RRS. There is a video on Youtube that show people sitting in the back as there appears to be plenty of room.
Cheers

No shortage of leg room. Even my brother-in-law, who was very sceptical at first, had to admit it is spaceous enough.

Has anyone sat in the three door and could you give me an idea how easy, or not, it is to get in the back?
Head says 5 door and heart says 3. I don't fill up the car very often but I don't want friends doing their backs in to get in the rear of the extemely cool three door coupe.
Any assistance would be appreciated

At both Paris & Geneva the battery was disconnected on the Coupes so the electric slide forward function wasn't working - so I don't know how far forward the front seat would go, they had left the seat in a half n half position so people could still sit in the front (just) and people could get in the back (just). However once in the back it was fine - like in the back of a 3 door Golf. Kids will be fine getting in and out - mature adults might struggle (Coupe).

Our Evoque is replacing a Golf Plus (the tall version of the Golf) and to be honest there is a little more room in the back of the Golf Plus than the Evoque. Rear leg room is important to us as we carry elderly relatives quite often - but just as important is rear seat access and this is where the Evoque scores over quite a few other cars we looked at. In the BMW X1, Audi Q5 and the Volvo V60 I couldn’t get my foot (size 10) between the front of back seat and the back of the front seat without twisting my foot (which my elderly relatives find hard to do) - in the Evoque I could. So for ease of access the Evoque is on a par with the new BMW X3 - but once in, leg room I would say is on a par with a regular Golf. So if you have two 6 ft rear passengers then those sitting in the front need to be sympathetic and pull forward an inch or two to make sure all are comfortable.

Do you thinks telegraphs description is a bit harsh? They question wether this is a four seated at all...:S

Yes, I think they are being a bit harsh. The car is quite specification specific. For example none of the 5 doors I've sat in has had the glass roof and only one of the Coupes - and for the one car that did it made a big difference to how you "felt" in the back. In reality there was very little extra headroom but the rear felt much more spacious. A couple of the 5 doors without the glass roof's had the black roof lining and those felt quite claustrophobic / cosy / sporty depending on your point of view and if the Telegraph’s car was one of those I can see how they might have come out with a comment like that. I think if you regularly carry 4 adults then you have to make a personal decision if this is the car for you. If it’s mainly 2 adults or 2 adults and 2 children then it should be fine. I always drive with my seat in the most far back position whatever car I'm in and there are very few cars that I don't feel the need to pull the seat forward a few inches when a large adult gets in the back - no great hardship – and this will be one of them.

The Dynamic has the dark roof lining, like Golf and Polo GTI's have. The Pure and Prestige have a light roof lining. This makes a big difference to how the interior is perceived.

Depends how tall they are really
