Recaro seats vs Regular leather seats

[911 Crazy]

I just couldn’t get on board with the blue so got the black leather seats.

That's Ok. Not all will get the call.

I had a 2017 Raptor. There were no Recaros then. I was very spoiled by thigh support, adjustable, extendable thigh support found in many sports cars, M cars, AMG, etc.

Having traded a Porsche Macan Turbo with amazingly comfortable 18-way adjustable seats, including adjustable thigh support for the Raptor, I immediately missed that feature and found the seat cushion too short. It made the seat uncomfortable. I traded that Raptor for a Porsche Panamera within 10 months. I then bounced from a 911 to another 911 and added a 2018 Platinum which had massaging seats. Why that’s not available in the Raptor is dumb.

When the Recaros were announced, I immediately called a dealer about 100 miles away in NJ who had one of the few on lot with them. I got a salesman on the phone, really nice guy named Lenny. I said Lenny, you got a tape measure? He said I’ll get one. I said good. Go measure the seat cushion on a Raptor with and without Recaros. If the Recaro seat cushion is longer, I’ll be there today to buy it. He called me back within a few minutes and said The Recaro seat cushion is 3/4 to 1 inch longer. I bought my 19 Raptor that day and drove it home. They are much more comfortable. As for the blue Alcantara, it’s ok, not my favorite, wish it came in all leather, but comfort trumps looks all day in my book.

Appreciate your comments. I've got a 2016 Macan Turbo and I agree that the seats are fantastic. Trying to close a deal on a 2020 with Recaros as we speak.

Do or do not. There is no try.

I love my blue Recaros with my performance blue exterior. It’s one of the main reasons I got the truck. Had Recaros in my 2012 CTS-V and loved them too.

They aren’t showing wear either with 22k miles so far. I have an almost 3 year old boy and messes he’s made have wiped up fairly easily. Not as easy as leather, but it’s manageable.

I did.

Picked up a 2020 in Agate Black with 802a and the recaros. Drove 200 miles with the family this morning to pick up the truck. We'll be taking it up to Tahoe on Thursday (it's snowing!).

Just got done ordering my bedcover and looking at lights.

So far, very pleased with the truck and those Recaros are very nice.
