Only 20% Of BRZs Have Cloth Seats?

I heard a rumor that only 20% of BRZ came with cloth seats, the rest were leather with alcantara inserts.

Mind = blown.

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

:iono:

I didn't even know cloth was an option. I have never seen a twin without alcantara.

It's the ONLY option in the FRS as far as I know... :'( I think it looks better than the leather anyway. YET SOMEHOW ONLY 20% of BRZ ARE CLOTH, whoa.:burnrubber::burnrubber::burnrubber::burnrubb er::burnrubber::burnrubber::burnrubber:

as far as i know, the cloth seats are in the premium model, and can't be had with heated seats.

i would have preferred to have cloth seats. but i required seat heaters.

Where I come from ,if you want a heated seat, you sit on your jacket. @Tcoat @humfrz help me out here :'( They don't get it.

Sit, not shit... come on yo

I can't help you - :(

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 - :iono:

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 :mad0259:

Isn't a seat heater what you call your ass? It's 98.6 degrees, it will get that seat plenty warm in a few minutes.

would have to do some math but when combining all the FRS, BRZ Premiums and base 86s together I would be willing to bet that cloth seats are in an overwhelming majority of the twins.

Oh, OK. Waay back in the day, we wore "car coats" in cars in the wintertime. Car coats were long (3/4 length) heavy coats that would be under ones butt as they sat in the car.

Later on, some of us would make a seat cushion/cover out of wool sheep skin (yes, REAL sheep skin from sheep raised on our farm).

These days, I just get into the seat and drive off, feeling lucky I was able to get both legs inside the car. - :happyanim:

I wouldn't doubt that in the UK. That stuff (you call food) that ya'll eat over there, no wonder your farts come out wet - :eyebulge:


:popcorn:

it's all that tea!

For the record, I don't drive my car enough, therefore, not fully acquainted to fart on her!!!

Baked beans with bacon equals awesomeness. With sugar? I don't understand. Why would one do that?

DUDE you have never had baked beans with brown sugar? You have no idea what you are missing!!!!


Oh wait... Aussie tastes are questionable anyway.

When I was in Australia in the late '70s I brought back a jar of vegemite because I just couldn't verbally describe how disgusting it is. That and musk flavored LifeSavers candies.

The only exposure I have had to it was a small tin out of an eight year old Australian ration pack. It doesn't get better with age I assure you.

Vegemite is delicious and my cloth seated brz has never seen a - 40 winter, it's toasty in my heated garage as I drive my truck with heated leather seats, cause I'm a got damn princess ��
