Since the Recaros are pricey and you're buying for the wife, I just wanted you to have the info for your decision-making process. If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Personally, I wouldn't buy a V without them, but save your money and marriage if they're not comfy for her.

I've owned many cars in my 47 years, and I've had less buyer remorse with the V than probably anything I've owned, including M5s and E AMGs, etc. You won't regret buying the V. And, yes, there are several tuner options if you're so inclined.

Thanks WYD for the post! All your info is pertinent, informative, and literate! (which can be lacking with many others)
We are going to start looking and we will look into the seat option carefully! When we met, (25 years ago) she was driving a big block Chevelle! She has owned many performance cars since. Chevelles, BB Monte Carlo (w/ swivel buckets) tons of vettes, camaro's, SC Thunderbird, you name it. All researched and sought out by her.
Our intent is to acquire one and send it to Lingenfelter Performance for some "upgrades".
I really appreciate your post, thanks for sharing!
