Wouldnt say mine are uncomfortable (05 WRX) but they are not as supportive as i had hoped. A friend has a Honda DC2 and the recaros in that are far superior, tempted to see if they can be put in the WRX easily, anyone know the answer?

Electric Prodrive Recaro's in my Classic V5 STi are great. The OE seats where just as good.

Had a blob Sti, killed my back on the way to somerset from London. Had to stop and put a towel behind my back!

Couple of trips to the ring and just had to pad the seats the whole way


The seats in my M3 are miiiiiles better. They also have adjustable bolsters in case you want some more support for a hoon!

my missus astra convertable seats give my **** pins and needles on long drives, my subaru seats ( V3 sti) are ok but could do with a little lumbar support and less flex too

my 172 clio seats are comfy for comuting but again long distance aint up to much but thats the over all ride position i think

i got a set of cobra evolutions to go into my impreza,,,,, bet they will be GREAT long distance pmsl

done a 8 hour journey back home after picking my car home, only thing that annoyed me was my lats were too big for the bolsters - but they come absolutely NOWHERE near the comfort of my 540 v8 and 750 v12 'sport' leather seats....hoooooly **** they were good lol

Completely agree. I bought a 172 last week, and can't drive it without being in agony after 15 mins
