    Mustang4, are they the leather heated/cooled seats? It’s really strange but I swear they are softer. I know for sure the head rest is 100% softer. Meaning I’m 100% sure of it. It’s day and night and I have even seen YouTube reviews where it’s mentioned.
    Anyway, it’s not the end of the world. Not like I want to return it ‘cause the bolsters are softer. It’s still an awesome ride. But it’s one of those things where I just need to know. If I could though, I would swap the seat.

    Congratulations on the new ride and blue is the way to go. As for your seats, I personally find the standard leather seats a bit soft for my liking. Oddly the cloth seats are a tad firmer. The Recaros are definitely my personal choice.

    Hi Scrape. I remember sitting in the Recaro’s back in 2017. Your right, I did find them to be firmer. But the factory leather seats were not that much softer that I wanted to give up the heating/cooling features. Knowing I would not be doing any track events I was more than happy with the “regular” factory equipment.
    Now, the wife always tells me I over analyze things and let stuff get into my head, but I’m sure the 2017 seats were firmer.
    It’s like Ford was thinking , “well if they want an automatic transmission they probably want everything easier and more comfortable, so let’s soften up the buckets!”

    LOL! I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually did that.

    No they are the cloth ones. Will be covered in Katskin leather a little later.

    Did some “sporting” driving today as Ford calls it. The seats in the 2017 definitely held a bit better. Too bad.
    But I did get into the sport and sport plus modes and the paddle shifters. That MORE than makes up for the soggy seats. And I thought I loved the manual transmission!!

    That 10 speed transmission is phenomenal. I need to compare it to my DCT.
