Alcantara Seats?? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have a question to the people who have a gt86 (BRZ) with red and or black alcantara seats. Is it easy to maintain? (especially RED)

I find it's super easy to maintain. I just vaccum my seats once a week that's it.
I have a car with leather and another with cloth, both start to show wear in the first few months. Alcantara, i find it holds up well.

Your car comes with red Alcantara seats? Mine came with black so i couldn't see any stains, IF there is any. I usually keep the inside of my car quite clean. If you get any stain just give it a little wipe with a damp towel. Don't use cleaning chemicals! Just damp it with water on the towel.

Microfiber, used with just water is amazingly effective at cleaning fabrics.

So I sat in a buddies ltd BRZ and the seats are hella more comfortable than my FRS seats. Is the alcantara the only thing that makes this difference? if so I'm finding an upholstry guy

Funny. I've seen people say that the BRZ Premium seats are more comfortable than the Limited

I love seeing these threads pop up. Keeps proving my point and the reason I created the post that's linked in my sig. Has all the options that the rest of the world got that we didn't. Check it out, I even posted pics for comparison.

I have a GT86 with black alcantara/leather. Mine did have Supaguard applied by the dealer. I've not found it a problem despite my dog with inevitable muddy paws getting to tread over them on occasion. Dirt just brushes off. I've not found it a problem.
