So far I've found the Recaros quite comfortable and not too different from the standard seats. After a two hour journey it felt as though my shoulders were being squeezed forward a bit, but other than that I felt fine with no aches or pains. They give good support and I am slimmish ...don't know if they would suit people with a very broad back
I have noticed that despite being a 5dr, the Recaros actually tilt forward as if it was a 3 door ? The backs also don't down tilt backwards anything like as far as the standard seats, so if you have short legs and long arms like me

they may not tilt back enough for you !
They look great but I would'nt have specced tham by choice for the price ... I had to take the spec of the car as it was to get the 5dr DSG in DPB which I really wanted.
