depends.

Recaro make many seats, in many forms.

to sit in a Recaro seat on an R32 (I presume Golf, not Skyline) and say that all recaros are uncomfortable is like driving a racecar and saying that cars in general are uncomfortable.

Seats are a personal opinion thing - think of the Three Bears - that seat's too hard...too soft...just right !
You need to try them yourselves if you suspect it's going to be problematic.

Sorry but I've nothing (serious) to add to this thread. You're nearly a foot taller than me! :lol:

Hmm, maybe you could chuck yourself in the tumble-dryer after taking a shower. That seems to have the effect you're looking for with our laundry. :wink:

had a good laugh at my dads comment after driving my car on the weekend.
he's probably an inch taller than me and a foot wider than me...
"that car's for midgets, dunno how anyone fits in it"
if you knew my dad you'd know that his comment was funny as hell haha.
