2) I don't like the HUD. 3) We are definitely NOT doing 2SS + Recaros. The choice is down to 1SS + Recaros or a 2SS. I want the 1SS + seats but the wife really wants the heated seats and the HUD. 4) My wife and I run all purchases over $20 through each other before we buy anything. The idea that I wouldn't get her input and consider her feelings/desires for this car is foreign to me. I want her to be comfortable in it because I want her to both enjoy the car with me, and I want her to drive it as often as she can. |

You misunderstand though. I want the 1SS + Recaros, the wife wants the 2SS (which would preclude the Recaros since we're not spending over $40K on this car - no way). I had originally thought that the 1SS Recaros had cloth on the bolsters instead of the leather bolsters you got with the 2SS Recaros (which she saw, sat in, and liked). So I came here looking for pictures to show her that since the seats are MOSTLY covered in Alcantara anyway, the little difference in the bolster material wouldn't be very noticeable. Luckily, I learned that the Recaros are actually leather in the 1SS - and that just might be the thing that gets me the 1SS I want. As far as the power ... I'm glad they are and wish they had driver memory since we'll split driving duties approximately 75%/25%. Nothing hotter (in my eyes anyway) than my wife driving a white 1LE: Here she is back in October taking a Skip Barber course in preparation of getting this car: |

When she runs that splitter into a curb parking the car you'll rethink wanting her to drive it as much as she can. The cars going to have better resale value down the road with recaros |

As far running the splitter into a curb .. then I buy a new one. A guy at work who refuses to let his wife drive his Challenger said something similar, in his case he was afraid my wife, who will be learning to drive stick with this car, would kill my transmission. If that's what happens, so be it, it's only a car. People learn by making mistakes and if I wasn't willing to have some mistakes made, I wouldn't be buying this car. I do not car about resale value. This car will be worth nothing when the time comes to get rid of it. |

I don't know if the manual slide will make a different to the OP. They are similar...just a bit skinnier than the ZL1 seats, and a bunch more supportive. The thing that took the longest to get used to wast the shoulder supports. But now - I don't notice, and feel like I'm strapping into a spaceship every time I get in...so much support...so many gadgets...so much performance. |

You're right. Should've been clearer. I was talking about looks and feel of the recaros between 1ss and 2ss. Same look, same feel.

Somebody with 1SS Recaros needs to chime in cause I'm pretty sure they have heat and power movement in both 1 and 2SS. In post #3 of this thread you can see that the 1SS Recaros have both power controls.

Again, it's the same seat. They don't have 1ss & 2ss recaros. It's just recaros. Same adjustability. Not sure if heated or not because that's tied into the car.

You say you wont pay over $40k...I paid $40k and change for a 2SS with nav, npp exhaust, and recaros. That included $1000 private offer and $1000 gm card. If you take out nav and npp exhaust you are just under $40k without needsd gm card money. I paid invoice minus holdback plus dealer fee.
