Evening all,
Looking for a bit of advice......
Trying to make the final choices before ordering and wondering about what seats everyone has plumped for ? Normally I'd just go for the leather but I'm pretty impressed with the simple fabric ones.(like the red 'wing tips' on the fabric versions).
Looks like it will be a pearl white manual and possibly with the JBL sound set up as good music quality is a must. Test drove a manual a couple of weeks ago and simply loved the thing.
Thoughts ?

Hi
If you like the fabric, go for it and use the money you save had you went for leather, for new exhaust and ecu map!

Have you seen/touched the Alcantara leather?
It's not te leather of yesteryear. A fantastic, luxurious feel to it.
When I first got intoa Koenigsegg CCR a few years ago I decided then I must get a car with Alcantara - lucky for me it's now available it an affordable car.

The alcantra is lovely - and heated for those cold winter mornings

Hello and welcome fellow midlander, what your spec'ing is exactly the spec I've just picked up, I didn't actually get to try out the cloth before buying (only ever test drove in leather) but I'm happy with it, does the job pretty well. They grip the same and you won't really tell the difference once your sat in it, it's more of a cosmetic thing and feel when your hands are on the seat.....but is that really worth the extra cash? But to be honest, if I was to order again, I may have gone for the leather but in red as it goes really well with the white...but again....purely for cosmetic purposes. Good luck with your decision!!!

The red leather looks great with the black or white car. I think it's a bit much otherwise. The black is really special

got to see it for yourself. Ok so the car drives the same, but when you come to sell I think leather will matter more.

Was worried the red leather may tarnish after very little time and to be fair I've only seen it in a red car (and thought it was a bit too much) I can imagine it would probably look good with the white though. The car I test drove had leather which felt pretty good.

My Mazda 6 has leather and alcantara. It's not actually a luxury only car feature these days!
That said on the way to work this morning, the temperature gauge said 7deg, the car hadn't warmed up yet, popped on the heated seat. Two minutes later shear and utter bliss! And all with leather seats with that little strip of alcantara.

I agree.

You can't beat it. It's classy, subtle, cool in summer, warm in winter, and will age well, I suspect.

As above I think the leather is a must

I love the cloth seats in mine...

Ive seen both seats & would go for the leather every time.

 

[Neilchapman10]

Will take another look at the leather this weekend now my mind is made up on the pearl white. Anyone have white with red leather ? Pics would be much appreciated.

Where abouts in the Midlands are you Neil? If your anywhere near Coventry, they have a white with red leather there to checkout. Herit86 here is also rocking that combo, with tints, new alloys and painted red calipers.....very nice!

The leather is awesome, you're mostly sat on the Alcantara anyway
