POLL: If you were given an option to oversize the Recaro seats found stock on the EVO7, would you say...

1) give me the tight stock ones because it gives me more feedback!

OR

2) give me a larger seat because the stockers will be too uncomfortable for my larger frame!

Not that many of us have had the opportunity to sit in a JDM EVO7 but I was just curious and hoping to assist any R&D staff here.


Incidentally I vote for option 1

 

I only weigh about 150lbs. so I'm not exactly "large".

So I vote fer option 1....those seats are way too sweet to swap out.

I'll take the smaller ones. I'm slim too.

1 for me too

 

1

 

definately #1

 

1, i have never seen a fat bastard in a sports car before

 

I'm 140 so the stock one should do for me too....

 

1 works for me. I also wouldn't mind a different Recaro seat with side air bags.

If we're doing polls for Mitsubishi R&D staff, how about a poll for whether we'd pay more for the car if it had ACD and AYC, i.e. more than $30K. I definitely would.

 

#1, of course -- too fat for an evo? Go buy a continental, thunder thighs.

As long as the price increase for an ACD at purchase wasn't much greater than installing it afterwards, of course I'd pay for it. It should at the very least be an option.

I just wish we had a good way of actually making Mitsubishi listen to our sense. I get the feeling they hardly have a clue what the american market wants. 'Oh, look, the lancer oz rally sold 67% more than expected. Americans must want flashy garbage!'

 

1 and only ....

 

i have an e6 tme. one of my major concerns was my wife's large ****. its fckin enormous (size 24+) - would it fit between the seat sides without pinching? So being a kind considerate husband i got her to sit in one before i bought it to check. OK she says although she hated the car otherwise (and still does).

We have since been for long ish drives (4 hours) and no problems.

 

hehehe oli!! The JDM 7 Recaros are a lot tighter than 6s so could be a problem for "larger" people. In fact they are just about right for a small (smart) **** like myself...

 

i think i'm a pretty typical american, at 6' 180 lbs, and I'll go with the original seats.

this country really starts getting hefty around middle age, when it gets hard to find anybody that doesn't have a spare tire, and i dont think thats the market is going for.

 

The Stock seats are great! Keep you were you want to be and after a while they do loosen up a bit and kinda form to your ****. I noticed the other day when i was to drunk to drive and my wife drove that the passenger seat was a hell of a lot tighter than the drivers side(first time as a passenger). Then when I sobered up the next day I went out and tested both and the drivers side was broke in perfect for my frame. If you are really big or have really big friends they'll probably just say something like damn these seats are tight!
