I'll just have to order it extra hot and burn myself in the process so I can suit and buy another

This is first time I've ever owned a car with perf. leather and I must say its the best! It's very soft, ventilated and getting lots of compliments from passengers.

food and non-water drinks in the car? sacrilege!

not having kids or food in the car are a few of the best ways to keep that leather interior clean!

Cool

Ooops, yesterday some of my Starbucks latte popped out the little hole on the top of the cup down the cracks of the built in cup holder on the center console. That was a pain to try and clean out. That is my only indulgence too. No eating or smoking in the car allowed.

a friend of mine had the same model and make of car that I had and when i got in, i noticed how clean it was. he's not a particularly meticulous person, nor did he baby his 89 toyota corolla, but man, he was a stickler for the no food and drink rule in his car.

I like the perf along with the ventilation, but... if I had a choice, I'd get rid of them. Dust, lint, and every little teeny crumb sits nicely in the holes and is a pain in the **** to get out.

I've mentioned this before, but I feel the IS seats are too soft of leather... I feel like I'm going to accidently puncture them with my keys one of these days...
