I'd say any car that is reliable is a 'good' car. The rest is down to personal preference. Mike..

Each different remote had seat settings associated with it and it would be in its assigned position before you could even open the door. Even doing it via the internal seat memory button it would take no longer than around half a second to move all of its six actuators to the position. Making all of those adjustments manually could take me around 30 seconds, with no guarantee I would be back to my 'comfy' position. I actually have it set with two comfy positions, so that on a long drive I can just press one or the other memory button, to change the position slightly for a bit of a change. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk
