Could Someone Please Explain This to Me...

This is a head restraint rating...

I don't get it. How does a 2003 2-door Golf rate better than a 2003 GTI? It's the same car!!!

(P.S. The 2-door Golf is no longer available in Canada...)

Doesn't the GTI have different seats?

Isn't that turbo injected? Or something like that?

That would have no effect on a headrest rating...

I always thought they had the same interiors as well. I know the 1.8 jetta has the same interior as the GTI when it was first introduced back in 2001 and the wolfsburg editon.

Well,

The Jetta 1.8T came out in 2000, but you're right about the 2001 Wolfsburg Edition having pretty much the same interior as the GTI. Coming soon to a VW Dealer near you! 2003 Jetta WE!

(And 20th Anniv. GTI)...

Hmm.. If there is a 2003 WE coming out for the jetta and its a 1.8 seems like its time I start financing one..

Insurance for that will probably be less than a GTI...

was the gti they tested a vr6? i figure the extra weight in the front could have made a difference. and of course, there's the usual statistical junk etc..
the gti would also have difference seats.

Very likely. It's going to be a nice car.

Apparently, they're sticking with the 16" BBS that they had on the 2001 WE...I was kind of hoping for 18"s...

I suppose that's possible, but the seats aren't that different...I'm pretty sure that they're even the same frame with more bolstering. I dunno.

Well, based on the information on that site at the very least they are using different headrests
