    Just got back home from a visit to see my parents its been orginised for months so had to go regardless and the X1 was all we had !
    Been a few hundred miles in it now and it was terrible as others have said the seat bases are just too short and way too hard!
    Went into a VW Dealers today to prove concept and sit in a Golf like I had the seats are both wider and longer why oh why didnt i just get another Golf? Its a mess wish i could turn the clock back and undo this πŸ™
    As Pops says on reflection to have a fighting chance id need the knee support but that said because of my back issues i would need the non sports seat back half of each seat a seat that doesnt exist πŸ™

    Theres inches of padding in VW Seats and I doubt even 1 inch in the BMW seats I just liken them to a barely upholstered park bench πŸ™

    Where I have been ive had terrible phone reception so I will ring motability tomorrow.

    The verdict has now come back from the dealers they are backtracking and have washed their hands of me after 72 hours of ownership are now backing out of any help they offered and have told me to just sit on a towel in a Β£36k car!!!!

    So if I sit on towels they will push me further off an already too short base……………………

    Eitherway I will ring motability tomorrow who knows with the good condition bonus (my handback was spotless) It might soften the blow of the extras pack.

    Think its obvious I cant go on with this car but where i go from here I dont know as I cannot get a Golf no they are no longer on the scheme πŸ™
