The off-road bucket seats we suggest with washable padding: the Bimarco Cobra Pro Off-Road and Sparco Evo QRT X, both FIA, the neoprene OMP HTE EVO Off-Road, and vinyl alternatives.

The biggest bucket seat we suggest for a Toyota GR Yaris: our 580mm shoulder and 520mm base limit, the Cobra Nogaro benchmark, and four FIA seats that sit right up to it.

In April 2025, with Recaro motorsport seats hard to get while production moved to Italy, we compared the closest alternatives to the SPG XL, SPG and Pole Position from Sabelt, Sparco, Mirco and Cobra.

Which bucket seats fit a Ford Fiesta ST180: XL seats that fit, steel or fibreglass, and the Sparco, OMP, Cobra and Planted ST180 frames with their bolt patterns.

We measured the base cushion on fibreglass bucket seats from Sparco, OMP, Mirco, Corbeau and Cobra. From about 35mm to 75mm, and what the difference means for headroom and comfort.
