Default Question for Andre (avdh) about Recaro sport seats

Do the Recaro sport seats have the four way power lumbar support for driver and front passenger like the standard seats and sport seats? BTW, I saw some of your pictures of your 2001 Nemo blue S6 sedan with the silver/black interior and Recaros. Very sharp.

Default I'd like to know if they have side air bags.

Lack of same could be why they aren't offered in the US. Also, perhaps an issue on performance in crash tests in US?

Default Recaros do have side airbags

I don't think performance in crash tests in U.S. has anything to do with why they are not offered in North America. My guess is probably cost and/or maybe AoA thinks no one will pay extra for them.

Default The lumbar support is two way only, forwards and backwards, not up and down as well, but for me it

is a bit low, I would have liked the up and down facility.
The Recaros also have side airbags.
The S3 Recaros, are identical, except the seats' forward/backwards adjustment is manual, not electrical. Only the back rest, height adjustment and lumbar support are elctrical for the S3
