Just wondering as my only gripe when I test drove the new MX5 was the seats. I found them lacking support and could have done with being able to move the seat back a tad more.

Anyway, what are the Recaros like compared to the standard seats?

Pretty sure they are not at the dealers yet but should be arriving shortly. wink

Mine should arrive in a month or so, will update once I get it. Slightly anxious about ordering sight unseen but I'm not that much of a bloater and I expect it to improve the support from the standard seats. Pleased they retain the thigh support from the original seats as well.

Edit - not sure they're going to give you much more leg-room moving backwards though, they're not Elise/racing style thin efforts

By the way, I take it we've all seen this?



Hopefully the first official Special Edition. Interesting to see it has the currently America only BBS alloys and Brembo upgrades.

Very nice. lick
