    They last essentially forever if maintained even just a little bit and is a good quality leather. I’ve been in cars from the 70’s with the original leather seats in amazing condition.

    I don’t personally care that much what the material is in my car, but I’ve never had good experiences with fake leather, I’d rather honestly have any other fabric. And those other fabrics are very common already in cars!

      The car won’t last forever anyway, if it’s used regularly.

      I threw away my last car at 19 years and 380’000km with no tears on the cloth seats.

      And yeah, fake leather is almost always a big no.

        My car also has 480000km on it and 20 years old, seats still perfect. Maybe Seat just makes good seats :P

          Well, it’s right there in the name!

          Mine was a 2001 Fiat Multipla, powered with natural gas. One of the most reviled cars ever made, and produced when Fiat was at its worst. It was awesome.

            As a lover of weird and ugly cars, I love the Multipla. If I needed a larger car like that, I’d totally get one. Though my need for weirdness is currently satisfied with ny Trabant
