    Yes, the larger of the two adjusts the steering wheel and the small button forward of it turns on and off the convenience entry exit feature (moves the steering wheel all the way up and away when the car is off)

    Damn, I didn't even know I had that. That and the Cat Stevens tape I found in the cassette deck makes two new hidden features for me.

    Let's just say I had some time on my hands waiting to take possession of the beast. I read the whole manual that day ;-)

    Do your seats NOT do this? I thought it was standard...

    Oh yes, another great feature - on both front seats no less!

    It doesn't get mentioned much, but the comfort of this car is another of the reasons I'd be hard pressed to replace it with anything equal to the whole package. It's almost (dare I say) perfect.

    IF the Recaros were readily available and were of the same quality (which I am sure they are) as the OEM standards, I would be hard pressed NOT to upgrade.
    Considering the cornering abilities and stickyness of these vehicles, I find it difficult to understand why the Recaro's weren't offered in the US.
    But then again, there IS little sis to think about.
    How in the hell is she gonna fit her fat ol' a$$ in the car and then in the seat? Passenger side mirror would be useless...

    Real stupid question here... (no owners manual too) This has happened once before to me; I did a quick interior detail and in the process I hit the button. The comfort feature stopped working. After some time I realized this and pushed the button back in and all was well.

    Now I went and did it again; I pressed the button by accident but now it won't activate the comfort feature period. It still moves via the control, but will not under any circumstance seem to engage the comfort feature.

    Does it need to be 'set' in any way?
