3 actually and I would take one of those this very second!

Although I do understand that your version is even older than that!

I thought the entire seat was Alcantara?

Nope, full cloth all around.

Think the higher trims got alcantara.

Personally, I like cloth compared to alcantara.

I wouldn't put a cover on mine. Seats are meant to be seated on. If you get wear and tear on it then you have used it well.

Put a cover on it so that the next owner gets brand new looking seats? No thanks.

If you have leather its worse. Its hard to keep looking good over the years. Our little bulldog chewed up the leather seats in the Mustang, cost a fortune to replace lol

89k miles on my cloth seats. I think I have on thread loose on the lower part from my knife and ID badge sticking out of my pocket. Other then that they are perfect

I put seat covers on mine but hate them. Wish I didn't have to. I have an AT and like to drive with my left foot on the seat though. Plus I am worried my morning coffee will spill on them.

Alcantara or leather for me. The cloth has a cost cutting look to it. But it works well.

IronDuke · 02-14-2016, 01:55 PM

Thanks for all the replies, I'll skip the seat covers and apply the money for window tinting. I kind of figured the material would be durable, we have a 2004 XA that we use for running errands, and dog hauling, it's seats are still flawless. Our other two vehicles have leather and do show wear, and not to mention the cleaning and conditioning that's required to keep the leather nice. Anyhow, I'm so glad to hear the seats are durable. Cheers!
