Are 2015 Recaros powered?

[Killacush]

Hola,

I'm waiting on delivery of my 15 performance blue FiST.

I have 2 buddies with the car. One with a 15 no recaros and a 14 with recaros.

I heard somewhere that the 15 got powered recaros......

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

It was rumored to be but unfortunately they are not.

 

[Killacush]

Blast! Well that's thanks for the info

I much prefer not as powered seats weigh much more and these are more than heavy enough.

 

[Killacush]

I typically agree. However, this car will be my DD. So would have been a nice feature

I have modded many seats to fit better, added lumbar, more side bolstering, etc....luckily for me and my wife they fit us so well we do not need to do anything, it helps they go decently low, I do not like sitting high up and have modded sets that have lowering to go lower. I have changed seats in a bunch of vehicles as well, cars and trucks, quite a few sets of Recaro seats to replace stock ones, race seats of a few brands, etc...and these still are so perfect for us, a great blessing......we can just use them On really long drives the 10 way seats with much more comfy custom leather in our dually is nice though, just a tweak here and there to relieve any stress points, 1150 miles with one 30 minute stop is my record and could not do it with any other seat, not even the FiST but it is our site seeing, track day, etc car so will not go on long drives, it will be in the trailer during those times getting a free ride)

Exactly. It's one feature that I really like about my FoST because it's a simple one-finger adjustment when you're driving and you don't have to try and match any preset notches. That, and the manual adjustment lever for the seatback is set too far back.

the "new features" for 2015 listed powered seats on the ST, but they are the same manual version as the 2014.

Same as everybody else was saying. I've got a 2015 and it claimed to have power seats, but I've got the Recaros and they are still full-manual adjustment.

powers for the weak! lol i wish everything was manual!!

IF this wasn't my lightly modded DD. I would agree.

I have my STi for the ruckus!

I hate power seats, just the time it takes to adjust them after someone short has been in the car drives me nuts. And is it really that much effort to reach under your seat and slide around. Hell of a lot cheaper if anything somehow breaks in the linkage than replacing a motor. But then i'm kind of old school and if i could have bought the car with no AC, roll up windows and manual locks i would have lol

I'm right there with you on your view of power seats. Slow and more unnecessary weight.

15 fist here and I can say their not powered . That would be awesome because it would be easier to adjust the seat . I can live with out it though .

It should be an option along with HID projector headlights.

^ Exactly this.

Power is for engines, not seats. Yes, don't want the added weight.

Exactly, why I didn't get a sun roof either.
