Cloth interior.. not bad at all.

silversyren · 06-05-2007, 01:01 PM

When I got my Prius, I was worried about the cloth interior.. the texture was nice but it didn't seem stain-resistant at all and there was so much of it. However.. after taking my dog to the vet this morning to get some blood drawn, he left little bloodstains on the front middle compartment and biscuit crumbs/dog drool on the back seat. They wiped off easily with a damp paper towel. I got to the stain within five minutes but still, it's pretty impressive. I was going to get seat covers but I think it'll be fine. I might scotchguard it still.

I prefer cloth over leather and really like the cloth seats. Glad to hear that the cloth is durable.

I, too, chose cloth seats, as I'm not a fan of leather.
I have been happy, so far, though I've been considering covers. However, even the best covers look fairly crappy. *sigh*

Fortunately, my cat doesn't ride in my car much, the youngest kids will be 20 this year, and we, perhaps, aren't as prone to seat damage.

We'll see....

Heh... I always feel like I'm in the minority preferring cloth over leather seats. It's cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter, breathes better, and grips or holds you in the seat better.

My friends are the ones leaving spots on my ivory cloth seats.

And it's definitely too hot in Texas for leather. Gotta get those seat covers and scotchguard!

By the way, that's a good-sounding name...
