leather not nice to me. when doing sharp turns and high speed corners, my butt always kinda slippery to the left and to the right haha. not enough friction to hold u firmly

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!

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.
