I have the Comfort Seat option on my S6 and cannot detect any air blowing outwards, even on the highest setting. I concur then that they must definitely suck.

So Europeans suck and blow, while North Americans blow with the possible exception of S6.
Well, I have a US Prestige so do they have "Standard" or "Comfort" seats? They are different from the Premium/Premium Plus seat that don't have ventilation. I feel air blowing out of the holes so based on the above description, they would be "Standard". But, unlike the above UK description for "Standard" seats, there are no ventilation holes in my US Prestige center and thigh supports but they are in the seat cushion and the seat back cushion. As a result, the blowing and sucking for US C7's may not be as simple as described above.

So, if your S6 sucks and my A6 blows and we park next to each other with our windows open, will that cause our seat cooling fans to run more efficiently? This could be important.

Undoubtedly but, given the distance between us, the energy input required to facilitate this scenario would undoubtedly negate any efficiencies gained.

That was the $0.50 cent version. Colloquially-speaking: Not gonna happen!

Well, we could open our opposing doors - that might help with the air flow. If that doesn't work, well then, forget it.

I think you misunderstand me. I was referring to the geographical distance between us. We'd use up so much gas driving to meet up to test this theory, that any efficiency gained in the seat department would be lost in the noise (so to speak).

Ah, I thought you were speaking to the distance between us when parked. Well, we could meet halfway....nah, never mind.

He scores with a "SpaceBalls" relate...

May the Schwartz be with you.

Can you take a pic of your comfort seats? Haven't seen any S6 with that option.
