Has anyone sat on Recaro option seats

[chowy]

I know this option has been available since Feb but has anyone physically sat on these seats yet installed on the Clio??

How do they compare to the std. seats??

Do they feel any lower and are they more supportive and comfortable??

Do you lose any more leg room in the back??

Ive seen some pics of them but any pics of them in the clio inc. back bench???

Yeah, would be good to see.

How do they compare to the std. seats?? Much better, but much more expensive...

Do they feel any lower and are they more supportive and comfortable?? You do feel lower and they are much firmer and supportive, espcially around the shoulders

Do you lose any more leg room in the back?? No

Ive seen some pics of them but any pics of them in the clio inc. back bench??? Theres a pciture going on renaultsport.co.uk in a day or so of the interior

I plonked my arse in one on the Recaro stand at Autosport. I shall be ordering them for my next 182.

Just from sitting in one I can imagine Ill be using the wheel to hold me in my place a lot less.

[geordieclio]

very nice thank you for the pic

 

[clio172boy]

hmmmm me likes the look of them....

 

[bigmouk]

how much as extra. I assume they will be around the £1k mark

 

[seacombe2379]

look very sweet i wanna set for mine

 

[Sport182]

I have been into Renault I was told you cant get them as an extra/accessory but only as a factory option. They told me that I would need to go to Recaro directly.

There about £1200+ direct.

 

[seacombe2379]

bit pricey but they will be worth it i think

 

[Thomss]

HMmm on the options on the renault site it says £850. I thought the price on there where Inc VAT.

it is cheaper to buy as a factory fit from renault because you are giving up the existing leather ones though and the rear seat gets replaced by the non leather bench.
