For me, I prefer fabric seats. Why so?

Fabric seats;
1) Doesn't slip when you take corners
2) Not hot under hot sun!
3) However it's not waterproof
4) More colours yes! Funky ones too
5) Dusty sad.gif

Leather seats;

1) Slippery when you take corners
2) Exclusive look!. Not too many colours available
3) Hot under the sun
4) Waterproof!

rm8k for regular sedan, you can get a real good quality leather that only traps less than 50% heat compared to the full/semi leather seats.

Fabric seats;
1) Doesn't slip when you take corners 10kmph during corner?
2) Not hot under hot sun! Try direct sunlight on the seat or hours, it burns!!!
3) However it's not waterproof Hmm... yes, but City is waterproof, but never say is coffee or vomit or oil proof.
4) More colours yes! Funky ones too Leather don't have blue, fabric don't have white. All colors in between beige and black is available on leather.
5) Dusty sad.gif  Yeah

Leather seats;

1) Slippery when you take corners Bucket leather seats!!
2) Exclusive look!. Not too many colours available Explained above.
3) Hot under the sun Same as fabric - very hot. But fabric trap heat longer, leather cool faster.
4) Waterproof! Beware of leather with large breathing hole.

Planning to get the new Honda accord. Same technology available on that car?

Slipping-I get when ride the Perdana V6 in corners, I don't really like that.
The cracking in leather seats is because you don't polish it? I heard that maintaining leather seats is harder than fabric seats. Need to wipe all the time or something compared to fabric just vacuum.
