I traded in my ‘17. One reason was I did. It like the seat cushion. Found it too short. When they announced Recaros, first thing I did was have a salesman measure the cushion. When he told me it was close to an inch deeper, I immediately went to see it and bought it.
So the seats and the shocks are better. If I were you, for only 9k it’s a no brainer to get a brand new vehicle.
Almost an inch deeper seats. wtf? I would have traded in months ago if I knew that. But now Im going to wait for a 2020. Heard a rumor that the seats will be 1 1/4" deeper.
