Survey on 09-10 recaro seat ralliarts owners on the 11-12 leather non recaro seats

I wanted to start this thread on you ralliart owners with an 09-10 model with the recaro seats to see if any one likes the 11-12 fully loaded ralliarts that have the new leather seating non recaros.

If any of you could, would you trade your interior recaro/cloth seats for the leather in the new ralliarts (front and back seats)?

Cause I may look into a newer ralliart with the leather seats, but would much rather have the recaro cloth interior of the 09-10s, so doing a survey on which of you would do trade?Involving cash on the side too or not lol

(back story: I'm looking into getting into an evo x again, but also thinking I may get another ralliart it was still a fun car when I had mine (traded up to an evo, then sold my evo, and i miss it). And I'm looking into newer ralliarts since 09-10 with recaros are impossible to find in texas, but new ones are easier to get.)

lol yeah, just one of many many reasons I miss my X mr...sigh

I enjoyed my 09 ralliart back in the day, just got an evo x cause I could at that time, but money is tighter, and ralliarts are fun. I'm just not keen on how theres no recaro option anymore, only reason I'm wanting to find a 09-10 with recaros, but maybe i need to sit in a 2012 with the leather touring seats and see

The stock lancer seats (even with leather) do not compare even remotely close to the Recaros.

It's the difference between sitting in a Herman Miller office chair versus sitting in a leather love seat.

Side note, based on your sig, I believe there are 2 MR's ~$22k (salvage). Not the best option, but both are good looking cars....or buy the seats separately (I someone selling a set over few months).

The Recaros are really comfortable, if that is what the OP was asking. I love them, and I rarely say that about seats.

Good luck I have 09 with Recaro leather and there the best in the world and I would never trade them lol

Have u looked at getting recaros aftermarket. I believe theres an online shop that will redo them in leather with recaro or ralliart stitched into it so it looks oem.

Cheers

I also discovered with the 12's if you want the hids and rockford fosgate they add a sh*tty looking reverse cam on the trunk below the diamond, looks so ugly, don't want a 12 now just cause of that

I have the leather recaro's but my buddy had the plain seats and now has the plain recaro's and says it's a night and day difference and would never go back to non-recaro.

OH.

Sorry man, I don't think you'll have any luck.

(Plus with the stock fabric Recaros, us maple-syrup-swigging 'nucks got heated seats too)
