Recaro seat satisfaction survey...

I love the Recaro's, they hold me in place pretty well. In the first EVO I test drove, they felt too small for me. I'm 5'8" 185lbs and in the gym often so my back is wider than most my size. I took a test drive a little bit later and I actually enjoyed the feel and still do 6 months later.

I'm 5' 10" and 220ish. Seats don't give me enough thigh support. I hate how they assumed that everyone in the US is a fat bastard and made the seats wider. I've sat in ROW seats before and they fit me just fine.

When taking hard turns I need to brace myself against the door and center console just like one of the previous posters. Too bad I won't be getting the JDM ones any time soon

i'm not the happiest of campers with my recaros... i'm 5'9'' 180... average build i guess... and i get thrown around in the seat... without my seat harnesses... i'd never be able to sit in the right position... can't wait till i get a new seat... =(

im 6-5, and about 330lbs. i have a huge frame, and i love the seats. i have done a 12 hour trip straight in them, and didnt have any complaints. the recaros in the evo were also a huge thing for me when deciding between a evo, and an sti. i couldnt get comfortable with the ones in the sti.

I like the seats, but then again I don't.
They could have at least put in the better Recaros and not the cheaper sport seats. Don't get me wrong, they are nice and all, but for what the car is, why not all out?!?
I broke my driver's side seat about 1 1/2 months after I had the car. After my accident the seat was bent toward the left side.
I'm replacing my seats with something a little better when I get some more money.
The seats are good, but not good enough.

Had the same problem, this took care of it.
