Default S3 Sport Seats - Recline?

Hey folks;

I'm about to pull the trigger on an S3 and am wanting the sports seats with it. My girlfriend often takes naps during road trips, so I wanted to inquire about their recline ability to someone who has them. My salesman didn't seem to know.

Can you confirm that they go all the way back, as normal seats would?

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean - does that imply you have to rotate a **** to recline the seats?

I know it's not a power recline... but if I have to act like I'm turning on a garden hose valve just to lean back, that's kinda stupid.

If those seats were power I'd have added them when ordering mine.

Default Heated?

Are the sports seats heated? I just read somewhere that going with the sports seats takes away the heating option, which is... weird.

Gahh.. disregard the above (I guess I don't have edit permissions yet), I found the answer elsewhere. They ARE heated. Confusion alleviated.

I would refrain from reclining too far on a trip. A friend of mine had a head on with a car hoon. His wife was napping in the passenger seat and the resulting whiplash broke her neck. Fortunately, she was not killed or paralysed but was in a brace for months
