To Recaro or not to Recaro?

[Raptor916]

I vote not. My last car (Audi SQ5) had Alcantara inserts in the seats. It is one of the reasons why i got rid of that car. After 2 years, the inserts just were not aging well. Any moisture from sweat or worse, a wet swim suit just made them look like crap for days after.

That’s my biggest concern. I also have 2 small kids that make a mess.

Definitely a no with kids in my opinion.

There are ways to keep alcantara looking new but it is definitely more work. The Recaros were the one thing I almost held out for a '19 (and would have paid more), but the stock seats are so comfortable I'm glad I didn't. However I have not physically sat in the Recaros so I can't speak to the relative comfort.

they are about the same in comfort. The bolster is a bit wider so I didn't have as much support. Definitely a bit more grippy, tho.

Might be a dumb question, but Is the rear seats alcantara as well? Or is it a blue leather?

I have a Performance Blue with Recaros, and I really like the combo. The grippy alcantara is more comfortable than the seats in my 17 were. So my vote is to Recaro!

Could you please share pictures of the seats, dash and door inserts?

A lot more money for mostly a color change. Should be $750 like the orange accent interior. Will it be worth it when you trade?

If one drops the Hood and Bed graphics there's room to add the Recaros to the build.

If it were offered in black, then it would be a worthy option. Only offered in blue would me a "no" for me.
