Dunno lads I'm no expert of the SVX Recaros (3000 miles) but the 110 xs is good to me Thumbs Up

As I generally spend over 200,000 kms a year in a variable heated/air con Isri air seat I'm a little lost without it Whistle but I've got to admit with the heaters on on a cold day you do melt into the SVX. Formerly mao99999

TBH as nice as they look they not as comfy as the xs puma ones in the 110 Whistle the ones in the SVX tend to be hard to me (I am of slim build) and generally I like the "hug" of Recaros as in old Golf and in the Beemer but in they SVX the tend to be slightly harsh and pronounce the already stiff ride (good for nippy cornering feel) .

I know we travelled 3500 road miles in Morocco and I found the xs puma seats great Thumbs Up


Know where you are coming from , feel the same

To be honest.. loved the seats in my old SVX.. but they were "hard" not not sure i could do a 12/18 hour single trip in them. whereas o survived in the XS seat Shocked California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

my standard seats are very comfy...the later ones have more padding IMHO.

I'll get some recaros some day.
