Need Advice !

[CrimeMaster_GO_GO]

First shoutout to this forum and the guys here. I have learned a lot and I am super excited about my first to-be Mustang.

I had my GT premium order put in August and it is still in the confirmed state. As impatient as I am, I started looking for similar specs available at the dealers. Now I found one with the exact same specs as mine (Dark Matter Grey, PP, NPP, Active Exhaust, MagnaRide) but also has Recaro on it. My intent with the car is to never track it and it will be my pampered cruiser/daily.
I am medium-built 5'7" guy and I have personally never sat in Recaros let alone in Mustangs. I wanted to get opinions from people here if Recaros are comfortable for longer drives or recommend leather seats.

Thanks again !

I'm 6'1" 195 lbs and the Recaro seats were way too tight for me. Yes, they do hug your body, but at least for me, it is overkill. YMMV...

Comfort is a tough one to advise on. They will be a more snug fit for sure. If the dealer is within a reasonable range, take a drive down and check it out.

If you have a deposit on the other order, just make sure it's fully refundable before you walk away from it.

Thanks Steveo. You mean the bolstering or them being firm for the bum.

The car is 5.5 hours away. I will search local to see if there is anything available.

oof! Yeah that's a hike. Nevermind. Then again, you could take tomorrow off. I 'm sure your boss would understand!

Yes... My butt is small, it's the bolstering that is tight and I'm rather thin, well sort of.. Firm on the bum is there but ok.. I take a lot of long trips so comfort is a big factor for me. Like others have suggested, you really should find a dealer that has a car with the Recaros in it and see how it works for you.

No heat or cool.

I am thin, width wise anyway , and the recaros are too tight for my taste. If my plan was to mostly track the car, then maybe, but not for daily driver and trips.
Especially with no power.

But you should really sit in one yourself. A lot to spend on car without doing that.

seats can be changed. Although in light of the stated objective having toasted buns and cool air up the …. Uh hmmm.. falls into the pamper category.

Mine does! My 2024 Mustang GT Convertible is at the dealership waiting on me and I will be getting her this afternoon. I asked my bosses if I could leave early today and this one particular boss, who is a huge car person, says "you know I'm good with you leaving early for that purpose". :-)

I wouldn't do it. I hear they are not comfortable. They also lack heating/cooling. Finally they are manual and obviously not memory seats. Unless you track it, I see no benefit to the recaros

Sounds like somewhere I would WANT TO WORK!
