You'll have trouble finding anyone that has them that wishes they didn't.
Also, the NPP is the other must have, other stuff like RS, BA, Sunroof are more suited to everyone's different preferences.

NPP is a MUST but so is sunroof, nav. Kinda spoiled w my 335 so I'm wanting all of the amenities. Back camera is a must as well.

why not? i wanted them since day one.when gm went out with the zl1 in 12 i did not understand why gm did not offered those seats in the most powerful camaro,only to slide around in the base seats! would you imagine base seats in the z/28?? would be crazy.

couldn't be happier when gm finally offered the recaros as an option.so when i ordered my 1LE, march 31st, recaros was on my checklist.i wanted them, i needed them.never sat in them,pretty shure i'll love 'em. hope i'll be in my 1LE in a couple of weeks... so tired of waiting....

Love my NPP but IMO sunroof is not a must have and lowers the roof to much for tall guys, also have NAV but still have not even used it once just use the GPS on my phone, thought about the back up cam also but doing fine without it so IMO the last 3 are not even close to must haves

Love driving this with the sunroof open on a nice day.

I ordered Recaros in mine, I love nice seats. I sat in a Red Hot 1LE yesterday with Recaros and loved them. I also heard the NPP and it sounds amazing!

SSMY1LE · 06-01-2014, 04:48 PM

Don't love my back up cam, no lines on it, just warning symbols. It's ok, not great. I do like the BA sound, think it's certainly loud and clear enough for me. Sunroof it too low in my opinion, nice touch but wouldn't work with me.
These are just my thoughts..........

Wollmank · 06-01-2014, 05:33 PM

One of the best features of the car. Yes get recaros.

I'm not that tall, 5'11'', and the Sunroof bugged me on test drives.

Sir SHEED · 06-01-2014, 05:48 PM

I drove 12 hours straight with the recaro's and was quite comfortable the whole time, i would definitely get them and if for some reason your not happy with them you can easily trade them out for regular seats plus cash on top.

PYROLYSIS · 06-01-2014, 05:52 PM

If you don't mind the extra 2 grand they are definitely worth the price. I've driven them form SC to Texas and back with not one ounce of pain experienced and I've tracked my car and remained glued in center. Never had any experience with the normal seats to compare but I didn't need to. It's always better to wait and get what you really want. Also, I'm 6'3" and wearing a helmet my head does touch the roof in a no sunroof car, but that's not the seats fault.

cj04 · 06-01-2014, 05:58 PM

I am surprised at how many guys say they have no issue with sun roof clearance. At 6 foot the top of my head is only about an inch away and I've hit my head a few times on some bumps and dips

5-9 here so not worried about height.

BEWARE!!! I have Recaros, and I've got BAD leather burn and thread cutting through the loop. I have a new seat back/cover(?) that's at the dealer to schedule install. Not quite sure how to keep this from happening, but it is definitely a problem for me.

Anybody else have this problem? Might want to check. I never would have looked if I hadn't seen another post on the forum, which I can't find now.
