Do people actually buy these seats at these prices?
Cheers for the sales pitch midge your fired!
Its ridiculous the money these go for, imo they rant even nice, uncomfortable and pretty crap, i guess because they are OE they hold mega value!
Recaros are much better than the standard seats in every sense. The standard ones are sprung foam ffs.
I find them much better for my posture, I find it impossible to slouch in them and they're not like OTT buckets but still have decent support around your shoulders. Much better than standard at least.
I suspect most of the "Recaros suck" band either don't own a Clio or haven't even sat in them.
Your wrong I'm afraid, I've had 2 trophies, the lad above prefers the seats in his dci, and Clart also says they arn't very good.
However as you said, they are much better than the standard clio sport seats.
At no point have i said i hate them, i have simply said the price they go for is ridiculous (full S3 recaro interior from around the same period can be bought for less)
i'd counter your point 'I suspect most of the "Recaros suck" band either don't own a Clio or haven't even sat in them.'
with the only people who defend them are the people who own them
they are great comfortable seats- perhaps the people that don't like them just don't fit in them
