Is the Recaro package worth it?

The title says it all. $2000 is a decent chunk of change. My financée loves the heated seats in my 2012 SE, so that would be a bonus for her. I do remember the seats being a bit narrow in the Recaro package for the SVTF. I'm not a fan of that.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I'm a big person, the Recaros are snug at first, but you get used to them and then they're more comfortable.

Keep in mind, the primary purpose of the Recaro seats isn't comfort, but Gluteal Stability Control

Does anyone know for sure if the Fiesta ST Recaro's will hook right up to a non-Recaro (base ST)? IE the wiring/etc. I am assuming the wiring harnesses are the same because it would cost Ford more money in the long run to have the same car wired multiple ways. There's a picture earlier in this thread of a FiST with both a base seat and a Recaro at a Ford Dealer to show the difference, so that makes me think my assumptions are correct.

short answer: yes.

Haha thanks! Is there any part of the long answer that I should know? I'm not concerned if the heaters won't work, I just want to make sure the airbags will work.

Nope. I have the Recaro seats in my Titanium. 100% fit. Or so I hope. I really didn't want to actually test the airbags

Thanks! Plugged in and no airbag light is enough assurance for me!

So there's just that single plug under the seat? And it connected right up to the Recaro seats? I was expecting there to be 2.

Correct.
