Great seats. And it has airbags.
I personally have issues with the leather ones in the MR.
Great looking seats but their bolsters are very stiff.

I don't get the point your trying to make? "Recaros are Recaros" is as much of an arguement as a Nikon is a Nikon... Doesn't really do anything. Their cameras used to be good; but aren't what they were, now. People just trust the name even though the quality has gone down. Now I'm not saying Recaros are bad seats.... I'm saying that the ones used in the "Recaro Fosgate Premium US Package" (Or whatever they are called in your area) don't warrant the ZOMG Fanboy response, IMO.
Does the rest of that quote imply that i'm wrong? I am giving the OP just my personal experience with the seats in question.

Still not making sense. I'm pretty sure most cars made after about 2005 with their windows up have ample sound, unless you're trying to go deaf... I am stating that 710 watts is not what the amplifier will be running at, it has an RMS that is lower; so that lower number get's split to 9 cabin speakers and 1 subwoofer... not enough power to be something worth bragging about. (The fosgate system is most likely weaker per speaker than the stock one is, but there are more interior speakers; thus the sound is technically better) I suggested to the OP to take a test drive on the freeway with his windows down to see if it bearable. If it sufficient then the sound system is as good as he needs; if it is now save the money.

(1) No one said you were wrong.
I said that Recaros are good seats. Thas it.
Nikon is a good camera, too. So i dont' know why you even brought up that metaphor.
But your comment that PEOPLE are saying that these are regular seats with a 2 cushions on the side with RECARO stiched on it doesn't imply your saying they are good seats, now does it?
They are good seats and I know its your opinion.

(2) Well all i am saying is that alot of stock systems are still crap.
Windows down or up.
just has the better set up then many other cars that are in its competition.
If we go high end, then that is a different story.

Keep in mind, its an opinion against another opinion.

I bought the Recaro package because I like the seats, but they are not height adjustable. I am only 6' so I found that I was sitting to low so I posted a write-up on how to raise your seats by 1" in the how-to section.
After my modification, the seat height is just right for me.
