Yes they do have a adjustable seat. its a common problem that all tall people find with the coupe body line.
a decent review all in all.

Yeh, that's true, if you really love the car, but your very tall, you'll put up with being a little cramped
We have alot of Cali owners here who are around 6'4" and have no complaints, I'm sure the AH hatch has more head room than a Cali

Geeez, doesn't he go on about the lack of home-grown appeal?
Surely its the opposite? I dont want something with the build quality of our locally built tractors... Id like something that came out of the Opel Performance Centre. Infact, why not save the $80 of badges on the front and back all together and let us have an Opel Astra OPC??
Never thought about the headroom - im only 5Ft7 lol
Back is even worse though, Ive had friends in the back and even shortish people find it low.... I guess its only once in a blue moon that anyone sits in the back though - but if u want room - dont get a coupe!
All in all - a descent review....

pretty good review...
my boss is way taller than him... and when he jumped in i had the seat right down to the floor for him and he had no problems with the height... but he did have problems with the leg room hahahaha
A lot of it comes to different body shapes - eg dad and me are roughly the same height - if I get into his car, I need to move the seat back, but raise the height - I've got longer legs but a shorter upperbody - dare I say it, but Toby Hagon or whatever has got a longer upper body? I've sat in the coupe and had heaps of head room and I'm 6 foot.

About time that there was a fair review. Thats about the 4th one i have seen in oz thats been fair and just. Finally though a review were the Golf GTi is used to bench mark against. I totally hate how they Bench Mark everything (That includes Bench marking the GTi Against the XR5 MPS3 Renualt Sport Megane)

When I was looking buying a VXR, I found the seat adjustments the Same as the "G". I'm 6ft and had no problem what so ever. I think it would be a bit different if Nick (Degen_Astra) drove one, He's 6ft 7in. But remarkably, He could fit & comfortably sit in a BMW Mini Cooper. He just had to have the seat right back.
