I was told the EX trim was that suedey stuff. I just didn't like it at all and felt it would rub smooth before too long.

The ES I test drove was in a nice sporty-looking dark-check with that suede stuff as the seat trim. It would have been much better IMO if the whole seat had been in the cloth check, or, better still, a few inches of leather around the edges to finish it off. I must say I'm delighted with the full leather seats - they look great, although obviously they whack up the price.

To be honest, if my budget hadn't been able to stretch to the leather, I would probably have walked away from the EX, and gone for the ES instead, or even a different car altogether, that's how much I didn't like that suede stuff.
