Not much at all considering that is more than probably peak power and not continuous. Each speaker probably gets about 20-25ish RMS with the sub getting somewhere around 100. Ballpark figures obviously.

I think it also depends on how fat you are. One of my friends hates riding in the front seat of my RA because, well, he is overweight and the seats don't conform. My other friend, who is actually bigger, but has proper body proportions, thinks the seats fit perfectly. The women that have ridden in my car are only about 120 pounds, so they still have a little wiggle room between the bolstering.

I find getting in and out requires some effort since you need to go over the bolsters. Not hard to do, just need to do it. The fabric and padding are going to take a lot of wear. When getting out I just put my leg out behind the hip bolster and it is pretty easy from there. I think the seats are great on the short runs (under 1 hour), once you get to two hours I start to have some leg discomfort but this is because the cruise is on and my knees are bent and out which adds more pressure from the sides of the seats. If I keep my legs straight out in front of me, then much better and no problem.

I like the Recaros but honestly, the regular seats would be much better for me on a daily basis. The seats are the only part of the car I don't love. I love fast key also.
