This isn't a big and tall car. I'm a weightlifter about 220 5'10" and it takes a moment or two to get comfortable in the seats. Once in, It fits like a glove . There's a few people from my gym that would never be able to get in. Those seats are race seats, not built for comfort. I love the MR. I would get that or the 9, although you can't go wrong with any of them.

Yeah... if you have 2 grand laying around and you never want to recline. You do need a racing type seat in the Evo but a little more padding wouldn't hurt. I sat in some Sparcos in the lounge at the local go-cart track and they had more padding on the bottom and were more snug, ( maybe too snug ), than the Recaros around the upper back.

The US market SHOULD have the option for tighter seat like the rest of the world. Ever wonder why the rest of the world call our Recaro's _MacDonald's Seats_ ?

STis kinda got screwed to compensate for americans they are more comfortable for "larger" people. I don't auto-x or anything so I don't mind, but I wouldn't mind a little bit more side bolstering

I'm 6'2" and about 230lbs... not really fat, but some broad shoulders and such, and it fits me just right... i don't even have the seats all the way back, and i have them basically straight up, not gansta style, and i'm all good in the hood... just pick one up, used, new, IX, they're all great...... next car i "may" trade in on would be a X... but that's a way's away...
