Your seats uncomfortable?

What are your opinions about the Ricaro seats. I’m not big by any means, but the seats don’t fit my shoulders and my feel like I’m getting squeezed. Maybe they will break in?

I recently posted a thread on this same issue. For me it is the seam on the seats where the leather like material meets the suede like material. The seam is very stiff and cuts into your lats. So far I have no solution other than to suck it up!

I love these seats! I can road trip 12 hrs and not feel like I need to get out and stretch. These are the most comfortable seats I have ever had by far. 6'-1" 240lbs....they do squeeze my shoulder/lat area, but I appreciate the support for spirited driving.

I have to take out my wallet or I get very uncomfortable very quickly. They are not made for big people.

OK in my book - mountains more comfy that recaro in my 2013 Focus ST3.


Venting is great, just park away from the sun - once the back heats up - it STAYS HOT!!

Im 6' 250 and the car is very comfortable for me....however i wish it had a lumbar adjustment. My wife is 5'2" and she hates the seats because her shoulders fall too low in the seat so...i make her a little booster seat....lmao

I had a Gen5 ZL1 with Recaros and they were a torture chamber for me. The Gen 6 Recaros fit me perfect but a little confining as intended. The wings should be adjustable I think. I am 225 @ 6'. If I let myself go even more I will have a problem. The ZL1 is a good reason to keep your gym membership.
