Only 20% Of BRZs Have Cloth Seats?
https://www.autoblog.com/2019/05/21/...smission-take/
I heard a rumor that only 20% of BRZ came with cloth seats, the rest were leather with alcantara inserts. |

I'm wondering if its the 'cloth seat' cars that suffer the most from seat heaters blowing fuses... wet farts shorting the electrical elements...

cloth seats are a fart sponge. Given the option who wouldn't spring for the leather. You already are springing more for the BRZ over the 86/FRS might as well double down on the leather.

I love the cloth seats, they're impressive at holding air freshener odor. I'm done owning cars that smell like melting crayons (E36 BMW) noneya have taste

My 2013 FR-S has cloth seats and doesn't have a seat heater. I found leather (real leather) car seats were cold in the winter and hot in the summer - humfrz |

The question was - how do you heat up your cloth seats without a seat heater? What are some strategies?! I say sitting on your jacket is the best I agree though, leather isn't great in a climate that has both extremes. You wouldn't want steel or aluminum seats after all, so why is leather any better?! And it smells like crayons
