When I decided to buy another Z, I went for the Nismo Tech. I drove 550 miles from KY to Kansas City to buy a used 2016 Nismo Tech with 1,300 miles on it. I just got home with it today.

WELL.....How did the seats compare, for you??

To be honest, I’ve only driven my car 120 miles since I brought it home. But the difference I’ve noticed so far is that the bolsters on the sides of the seat back seem to hold me in the seat better. I like that. Also, I like the leather of the Recaro seats much better than the cloth seats on my 2013.

The new Nismo Seats are beautiful and aren’t that uncomfortable. My concern is the wear and tear over the long run with the leather. The cloth seats are a lot more durable

Yeah. I can attest to the fact that the side leather bolsters are prone to scuffing and wear. I need to be extremely careful when getting in and out.

Also a trend I see with Recaro sportsters with more miles on them, the exit side of the torso bolster often shows heavy wear. As if the leather was peeling off.

so far in the 2 months that i've owned my 17 nismo, i've put around 2500 miles on it.seats aren't lazyboy's, but not uncomfortable.

i think the torso bolster wear is from getting out of the car towards the rear, especially when you can't fully swing the door open. i find myself rolling that way a bit and also placing my hand there when getting out

I like my 2016 nismo Recaro seats no problems.
