Can the driver's seat cushion be lowered manually to better accommodate a tall individual (6'6")?

Yes, I'm 6'8" and I fit fine with recaros. However, I opted for the factory leather seats as they have heat and cooling. I felt like you gave up a lot to lose those features and still have to pay $2k

Yes. There is a lever on the side of the drivers seat that allows you to adjust the height of the seat bottom.

I agreee, you do lose a lot by opting for the recaros...However, I love the look it gives to the interior, plus I live in SoCal and the weather isn't bad enough where I would need the heated/cool feature.

You won't regret the Recaros trust me...

Sooooo true! I had heated and cooled seats in my other cars but these Recaro's just look perfect in the interior. One of the first things people comment on regarding the car. They want to sit in them, too.

I opted for the leather Recaro's in mind and I don't regret it one bit. The look of them really makes the interior pop. I'm 6'4" mostly torso, and I would say the top of my head is about 2 inches or so from the roof.

And then I tell them, "NO, you'll dirty them!" :lol:

When I bought mine I was really set on getting the heated and cooled seats, and then I drove one with them, and one with the Recaros....After thinking about it, I realized that I will be the only driver, and I live in SoCal, so I really didn't need powered seats, because I wouldn't be moving them once I found my spot, and it isn't cold enough here to need heated seats...would the cooling be nice in the summer, sure, but I am buying a sports car, and the Recaros fit the bill perfectly, plus they make the interior look so much sportier. Love them.....you won't regret it.

I live in florida where it does get hot but I still enjoy the look and feel of the recaros and for some reason I like having manual seats better than electric ones

I went back and forth on which seats to go with, in the end I decided to go with the Recaros. Couldn't be happier as those seats enhance the look of the interior IMO. A couple of friends that I have allowed to sit in them were very impressed with how snug they fit.

I live approx. 50 miles north of San Diego so not having cooled seats is not a big deal to me. I'm kinda of old school so not having powered seats is (((perfect))) for me!

The recaros really do make the interior of the car look a lot better. They ride very comfortably to. I drove a 350 mile one way trip last weekend in them and was very happy with them.
