How is the suede holding up on the 2013 version Recaro's?

[49NorthVert]

Can owners of 2013's with the Recaro option comment on how the suede inside sections are holding up to seat time? Any notice of wear showing after so many number of miles. Thanks

5k miles on mine. No signs of wear. Still look factory fresh.

 

[ford13]

amazing how well it holds you ...

I'm more worried about the alcantera on the steering wheel, with the oils from our hands it will look like crab in no time. I prefer regular leather

Only about 2500 miles on mine. Unsurprisingly, everything (including the suede) is still like new.

+1!

The Alcantara will hold up better than leather on the seats.

I just make sure to wash my hands before I drive the car and I never eat in it so my steering wheel doesn't get greasy looking.

Yeah I find myself trying to not touch that part of the wheel

Want to preserve them.

This is me the 2013...

Jacket protects the seat and gloves protect the wheel. :burnout:

Are those gloves leather or pleather? Lol

I saw steering wheels for sale in one of my catalogs, I THINK it was for the GT500 (to upgrade from a GT) so I think it is something that might be replaceable

Is that a Members Only jacket from the '80s???

 

[WOT1320]

I am so worried about things wearing, I still have the plastic on my steering wheel and seats!

 

[blackcoyote13]

I have that jacket in all black. I like it, but I omit the toothpick and death stares when I drive around. :-D

I think it will wear more with plastic on them..it'll create more friction.

I have 2200 miles since May.

Looks horrible, seats and wheel are totally worn. Even passenger seat.

Would never buy Recaros again. Ready to replace wheel or get a walmart ford racing wheel cover.

Really? On that note I'm going to take out the Recaro's and the steering wheel. Would you be interested in them for $45? I mean that's probably all I could get out of them....


The sarcasm is strong in you. :beer:

It might. The three or four times I drove the car last year I would barely grab the wheel for fear of this. It gave me reason to just stop driving it all together.
