Thanks, everyone!
Do you think, with some time, they will 'break-in' a bit?
What I mean is when I bought all 3 of my Vipers new ('06 and two '08's), the seats were snug. After a while it seemed as if the side bolsters kind of opened up some and the seats were more comfortable.
Nice!! I'm happy without the HID's. They aren't as bad as they initially looked, but I don't care for the bug-eye look. And I wanted the partial leather recaros, not the full leather.Good looking ST, I just picked up an ST2 as well...I paid $25k out the door. First dealer wouldn't take my offer, 2nd dealer did.
I love mine! Wish I had the HIDs though..
To answer your question, yes they do "break in".. I am 6'1" 255, and they are the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. I have a '13 ST3 and they were a bit snug at first, but after 8 mos and 7k miles they now fit like a glove. This is the most enjoyable and fun car that I have ever owned, and is a great balance between performance and economy.
Good looking car. I was considering the TB and really like the metallic in it, but knew it would still require a lot of cleaning.
Loving mine so far as well. Just did my first autox yesterday and had a great time. Amazing how these cars handle from the factory. I need to get on a dyno for a base run and then throw on my mods.
Autocross huh? How many miles on your car before you did that?
I'm trying to link up with my local tuner to get a base run done on mine as well, but I'm think maybe I should get some more miles on her...
SVT Rob looks great with the tint. Wax your wheels will help with the brake dust. I got mine in Dec 2012 and I wasn't able to wash it as often as I like now I'm dealing with some brake dust in the clear on the wheels.
There is a TSB for the motor mounts 13-6-07 and one for the Instrument panel cluster in the gauges 13-6-27 for cars build before 2-6-13. The one for the IPC is for delay while booting at startup. Also fixes the boot screen to show ST during boot and a quad display screen with dte, mpg, trip and timer.
I know eventually I want to add a sub, but I have the totally badass ST1 stereo.
That and the no power driver seat I think are my biggest/only complaints.
Being 6'4, I actually like the non-power driver seat. It lowers down further than the power seat does, giving me more headroom. My test drive was in an ST3, and there were a few things that bothered me about it.
:no: I wanted the partial leather Recaro's in the ST2. So that's what I boughtyou should have bought it and then we could have switched seats.
You know, I haven't sat in an ST1, but they are the same seats as the Titanium, right?Race version ST1 FTW
I actually find the ST1 seats to be more comfortable.
The e-brake in the ST3 is pretty funky as well...felt weak to me...ST2 e-brake is more traditional feeling.
Sorry to dig up an old thread but today I finally went and checked out an ST2.
I did fit pretty well in the Recaro's. Took it for a short spin and seems like a really nice DD.
The car I actually want is in NJ (I was at my local dealer in PA), which they could go get for me IF we could have made the deal. The car I want is a 2013 ST3 and has an MSRP of 29,825. They offered the car for 25,600. Not bad, but I think they can do a little better AND they didn't want to give me enough for my '04 CTS-V (38,500 miles) on trade.
So we were still about 3K apart.
Maybe make the trip to NJ on Labor Day and see what happens?
