I test drove the car twice and found the seat to be tighter on my thighs than the Recaro seats in my Boss. I'm 6'4" 220. It's the only thing I'm concerned about because I have about an hour drive to work everyday. The rest of the seat is quite comfortable.

I sat I the yellow Focus ST that Tanner Foust drove in the Key West ST commercial. I thought seats hugged me. I felt like I was being held/ wrapped.

You get used to it. Mine seem to have loosened up a little bit, but it'd be nice if they opened up a touch more.

I'm 6'1, 240.....and I sat in one a few days ago. Seats were WAY too small for me. lol

I'm approximately your height/weight and immediately came to the same conclusion you did.

The Recaro seats are a definite NO GO.

So I found an ST1 with the basic cloth seats and it was a world of difference. I now own that car. ;-)

Not as a factory option. ST3s only option is the full leather heated Recaros

i know i asked already, but does your seats seem to be breaking in even more, after a month or so?

I'm seriously considering this car, but the tightness of the seats was definitely a concern. You're saying that they are breaking in was exactly what I was hoping to see happen.

My seats were broken in the first time I sat in them ...

The ST1 cloth seats were comfortable from Day 1. ;-)
