Do you find the leather seats comfortable?

[IraS]

I haven't taken any long trips yet, but so far, my only complaint with the leather seats is that they are slippery. When I have my gym bag in the back seat, it keeps moving around whenever I turn. Also, I notice that I am sliding down in the seat. When I braked harder than usual to stop at a light, the items on the passenger seat slid off onto the floor.

I never noticed these "problems" in my 2004 Prius, which had cloth seat covers.

I figure this is just something I will have to adjust to in the new car.

You can slide right into a leather seat and not worry about getting your undies in a bunch.

I find the seats to be comfortable. No complaints about the leather. I had leather in my previous car, a Durango, so maybe I'm just accustomed to leather. --TK

But just imagine what the cows endured for all those years; sliding around on their butts when trying to sit. Sheep or Polyester lambs never have that problem.
Now it's the IV & V owners turn to sacrifice.

Amen brother! That is why I prefer leather to cloth - let's just say I'm sensitive as to the alignment of my undies and such. Unfortunately the Prius (picking up tomorrow I hope) will be my wife's primary ride. I'll be stuck with the Outback and it's nasty Velcro - er uh I mean Velour seats.

I love the leather seats and the lumbar support. The seats are fine for driving but I couldn't fall asleep in the seat on the side of the road.

I like the seats firmer with the lumbar, but I have lower back issues so the seats actually are a plus for me

We had a big Lexus (LS 400) for the last 10 years. When ordering our 2010 wife made me promise to rent a large car for our 1100 mile round trip visits four times a year to visit kids and grandkids, IF this new "little" car was not satisfactory. Our first trip was great--even more comfortable seats than the Lexus!! Both of us are less sore after a couple of hours on the road (we're in our early 70s.). Don't know what folks are complaining about, we are sure happy.

No complaints here. This could be dependent on one's body type.

I think it depends on the person too. I really like the leather seats in my Prius. I find them to be quite comfortable... On the other hand, I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a mattress that suits me. Every morning I wake up sore! The leather seats though? They're great.
