This is why I bought the base FR-S.
I saved a little money on the car itself then did my own thing, exactly the way I wanted. I detest cloth but wasn't impressed by the leather/Alcantara combo in the BRZ. Went with KATZKINS semi-custom seat covers instead, which are made-to-order in California. Lead time was just two weeks. I use GRIOT'S GARAGE 3-in-1 leather conditioner about once each month. Front seats are heated. They say that leather is on it's way out, but I think that's mainly due to people getting lazier. Real leather NEEDS to be conditioned regularly-it's just skin after all. If you can't be bothered to maintain your leather then Alcantara and Vinyl are definitely the better way to go. If you want that leather smell though, I would recommend KATZKINS with no hesitation. The leather is pretty thick, the stitching is durable and it can be ordered in whatever color scheme floats your boat...
