1le as daily driver?
I'm wondering how many people here are daily driving a 1LE and how that's working out for you.
How do you like the seats specifically the people with recaros? |

I drive my 2014 1LE about 120 miles a day. It's got 40K miles on it now, and I've never brought it to the dealership for any repairs or problems.
I'm 6-2, weigh 225, and don't have any problems with the Recaro's. That being said, most race venues require wearing a helmet. The combination of a moon roof, Recaro's, and a helmet, put my head solidly against the roof. So much so, I have to lean the seat back to an uncomfortable position to keep my head from pressing too hard against the roof. I'd get the Recaro's if I had it to do over again, but I'd lose the moon roof.

I daily drive mine, and just drove it straight home from Bowling Green (roughly 830 miles) only stopping for fuel, and once for food. And I have the Recaros as well

I daily mine and I love it. The only con is it doesn't stay clean long obviously due to being driven more than a garage queen?

I daily drive mine. It's a 13 so no recaros. But I will say we have very bad roads here and it's not a problem at all for me. I also have to drive in traffic and big city driving and for a manual muscle car it's a cake walk. Just don't slip the clutch too much.

I drive mine everyday and it still amazes me. It lives outside, no garage, so keeping it clean consumes a lot of time. I drive it about 360 days out of the year. I do drive it in the snow, stock wheels/Pilot A/S 3's. If there is more than 4" inches of snow I can't drive, she is to low and gets high centered on drifts.

Ordered my car with the Recaros for my DD, couldn't be happier! On the few times my wife gets into the car, she says the seats are very comfortable, even on trips. I'm now at 15,429 fun filled miles, this car is a blast to drive.
