We had a Chrysler Voyager at my old work with heated seats, lovely on the way to Gatwick Airport at 3am in the morning when it's -5 outside. Only thing was, turning the heated seats on made you feel as if you'd had an 'accident', if you catch my drift...

I would say Sport model... HID lights, front fogs.

Don't you need to treat leather with something to stop it going funny

Never treated leather in a car before a quick wipe over with a leather wipe once year to clean it is enough.

I thought the cloth seats look like they might go fluffy or bobbly after a bit also I have dogs and the hair would stick to the cloth seats like nobodys business. Also a final note my OH lives in shorts in the summer and he always has a stupid bit of velcro on the pockets (nearly every pair he owns has it) and on cloth seats it pulls at it and eventually goes threadbare.

My friend came over this morning, her Civic has leather and the smell was fantastic and it looked so clean and new compared to my material seats, big big mistake for me not getting leather

So far my seats are bearing up OK, but they are dust and hair magnets.

99% of my car use is driver seat only so I will be able to see any deterioration quite plainly.

TC knowing your luck if you'd got leather it wouldve cracked or something in fact you'd probably have sat on it and it would've mooed where it wasnt yet dead

LOL!!!!!


Kremmen - watch out for the arm bit on the driver's door that goes flat really quickly When I first got mine I hoovered it twice a week and used a lint roller in between, now it hasn't been hoovered in weeks I have lost interest.

Must admit TC am still going over mine with vac, I think the centre consul gets lots of stick in mine anyway will keep my eye on it or will I lose interest first !

[Kremmen]

Will do TC.

I have an old Vax in the garage that gets used weekly. If the seat starts to go prematurely then the 3 year warranty will kick in

Always would choose leather,so easy to clean and look after,keep there appearance if treated,only takes 10mins to treat i bought leather cleaning kit for my 3 piece suite from qvc and tried it on my leather interior brought it up a treat,it is still very supple,very easy to clean if you have kids with mucky feet climbing all over the back,just get some leather wipes,wipe over,job done clean seats again,not so easy with cloth seats,thats my opinion just to confuse you even more,good luck in choosing.
