I think the recaros look sweet and offer a solution to the crappy headrest issue.

Wish the fix was that easy. My wife always wears her hair in a bun or pony tail and with the head rest as it is, her head is pushed forward. I told her to get a different "do" and then she said to get a different car! Other females have complained about the headrests as well

My wife never complains on either seats, instead she just pulls on the seat belt back and forth for me to notice she is uncomfortable with my driving techniques. 
Take a wild guess what happens every time she pulls on the seat belt? . . .

And which do you find borderline annoying, the headrests or the complaining females?

Headrests seem not to be a problem - a slight recline and some lumbar support gets 'em even farther from head. I can barely get in and out of the car as it is, I can't imagine trying to extract myself with the Recaro's. Granted if you're tall and keep the seats down low this is less of an issue - I like sitting up high.
The side and seat bolsters on the Recaros do make it difficult to get in and out without moving back the seat. It is a tight squeeze between the seats and the steering wheel if you have chunky thighs and arent very limber. But they really keep you in place in the corners.

I have grown to like them alot. They provide great support and are pretty comfortable (at least for short term driving). However, you are right about it being a tight squeez between the side bolsters and the steering wheel.
