I love these Recaros!

I finally found the perfect seating position and do not wish for a telescoping steering wheel. I actually adjusted the seat's height to sit a bit higher than I normally am accustomed to and straightened the back a bit more, as well. These seats are so deep, you can't adjust from the visual slope of the seat's back. As a result, my shifts have gotten cleaner and I feel feel more in control, as I can now palm the wheel instead of just having my fingers on it. If you haven't found the sweet spot yet, keep trying! It's in there somewhere.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say I hate you and I'm incredibly jealous. If this bothers you, surrender your seats and we can be friends. Great write up on your car, by the way.

Yep. The Recaros are just glorious. Only thing that would make them better is if they were heated.

I'm liking all of the positive feedback on these Racaro's. The only way I could find them was to order my car. So I did. If it wasn't for the seats and track pack, I'd already have the car. So I'm glad the wait will be worth it.

Most comfortable car seat I've ever been in. They're comfortable for 3-hour trips as well; don't know about longer trips.

Best surface that my backside has ever laid buns on to be perfectly honest.

I know what you mean! It took me a while to find that "sweet spot" as well. What sucks is the fact that I always happen to lose that "sweet spot" every week or two when I put something behind the back seats!
