Default leatherette....does your butt sweat and such?...(more)

i mean, it supposedly is vinyl. what do people think? do you slide around too much when the driving gets "hairy"?

Default Yes, but that's because the seats SUCK..... IMO.

The leatherette itself isn't that bad, but you will sweat more with it than clothe. Let me put it this way, my next car will have cloth seats.

In regards to the seats "sucking", it's because there isn't a lot of side bolster support, so you do slide around when cornering hard and such.

Default I prefer the look and feel of the leatherette over cloth. Plus they clean easier. I wish they had...

...better side support though.

Default leatherette isn't that bad, it's just the seats that suck

if you have the lumbar support, they're not that bad though...

Default well it IS meant to be fake leather, and on real leather...

when you sweat you either stick too it or slide A LOT depending on how much clothing and skin touches the seat. So it's doing what it was designed to do.

The moving around had to do with the seats not being race seats, what do ya expect?
