^ Heh ! See... that's what I've been sayin' !

 

Which is why cloth/leather is so great. It's cloth where you sit and leather where you don't!

 

My chance to rant about the lack of upholstery options for Standard seats in the US. I find the Sport seat bolsters terribly uncomfortable - otherwise I would gladly pay the price for Sport seats to be able to get cloth. The only options for Standard seats are leatherette, punch carbon black leather, or tuscan beige. No cloth, no cloth/leather, no lounge leather. My MA says that if I had ordered in the first few months of 07 I still could have got cloth Standard seats. Whatever marketroid did away with this option should be forced to drive sitting on leatherette, with short shorts, for a whole summer in the south, and then fired.

I almost didn't order a MINI because of this. Leather/Leatherette look great but always feel hot or cold, leather is pricey and I don't want the extra maintenance. In the end I ordered leatherette, and spent half the price I'd have spent for the leather on some Wet Okoles. They should arrive in time to avoid frying any butts this summer.
