SWMBO being 5'3" and me at 6'2" meant a real problem if she left the seat in her position after using my car. However when opened with my master key the seat and mirrors automatically returned to my settings. Absolutely priceless. This came as standard on my Superb Elegance. However this cannot be specified without buying a whole package of leather/heated seats and other gizmos, some not required. -
