“The front seat bottoms are too aggressively angled and as well high in the front—it’s not ‘sporty,’ just annoying.” – Alex Stoklosa


Our lengthy-term Ford Focus ST’s thickly bolstered Recaro front seats have garnered rants and raves from our staffers. Some find them supremely comfy and supportive—full stop—while Stoklosa and friends discover them confining and not adjustable sufficient. Yet others fall in the middle, noting that, while overall seat comfort is high, an overly steep reduce cushion makes it difficult to comfortably work the pedals. This, they say, grows specifically tiresome in the course of lengthy stints in visitors.

There’s no question in anyone’s mind, even so, that the Recaros are phenomenal on a track or when brutalizing a twisty 2-lane. The aggressive thigh and torso bolstering maintain the driver firmly in place, and they appear amazing, specifically wrapped in the black leather that comes with our car’s prime-spec ST3 package.

For anyone hunting to obtain or lease an ST, we’d suggest test-driving examples both with and without the Recaros The seats are integrated with the mid-level ST2 as effectively as the ST3 trim packages, even though base STs make do with the regular Focus’s sport seats. These base seats have significantly less aggressive bolsters, but are nonetheless acceptable for hard driving and larger drivers.
