Default Outstanding writeup, thanks. Could you tell if the sports seats let you sit lower in the car

compared to the B6/7 S4's Recaros?

Default I felt a little lower than my B5RS4 when I sat on the RS seat, and according to the brochure,

<center><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y298/nogarohiro/p42.jpg"></center><p>
The inner height from the seat base to the ceiling is read as 976mm in B7RS4 and 969mm in B5RS4, where the total height is 1415mm in B7 vs 1400mm in B5.
B5 is a little lower according to the brochure, but I felt B7 a little lower in this May.

Default I really liked the manual seats. They give you more headroom.

How often do you change seating anyway. I like them much better than the electric seats. Less weight too.

Default Thank you, that is exactly what I wanted to know.

It is good that Audi is seriously thinking about a sunroof delete option. They had apparently not even thought of that when I mentioned it to my salesguy at the dealership in January.

Default As usual, your posts amaze me with the amount of data analysis you go through to arrive at a

conclusion. Thanks, that is good info. =)
