Well, there have been a few warm, even HOT days this year already, and my leatherette seats are getting a little schweaty!

I'm wondering if I should've gone with either the leather, or cloth/leather combination?

Nothing awful, but I don't like sticking to the seatbacks! I'm thinking of getting some seat covers - anyone know these folks? http://www.superlambauto.com/

 

I already got seat covers 4 off them, they do help. Good thing i got sunroof I leave it open while parked to cool down some.

 

Leather would have been worse, at least the leatherette is perforated. The leatherette in my MCS was never that bad, need to get my tint done though before I can say if the CM is any different.

 

What kind did you get? Where did you get them?

 

Good comment about the tint - I'm thinking of that, too!

 

I have the cloth/leather combo in my Clubman and I find them much more comfortable than leather or pleather. Husband likes mine so much that he ordered his Countryman with same.

I would think that seat covers and tint will help, though.

 

I've had leather in cars for years. In my previous GTI I went with the retro plaid cloth to mimic the '84 I always wanted but never had. It was okay, but got stinky from mountain bike equipment and kids. It wasn't as easily cleaned as leather or leatherette.

Because leather does breathe a bit, I'll never go back. it looks good, wears well, and gives the impression I'm in something a bit nicer.

 

In addition to tint (on all windows plus the sunroof), get a sunshade for the windshield. It helps tremendously.

 

How about some Wet Okole covers?

I love the look of these, definitely on my wish list. Not cheap though! Think it would look weird if I just got one?
