    Just bought a 2014 C 4 with the leatherette seating. Salesman said it will hold up better that leather. Any thoughts on that? Also what are you using to clean these seats with?

    no idea about how durable it will be with the test of time and use, but I just baby wipe mine down once in a while...

    Good News: You don't have to sweat stains with pleather seats (pun intended.)
    Bad news: They usually cost too much for the value that they add to the car....but the C-type is a pretty frugal car.

    Imagine the strongest magnet in the world. That's what my cloth seats in my last car were to my Border Collie's fur coat. So, needless to say, I love the faux leather in my PriusC!

    I don't mind the softex that's used in the higher trim priuses. It definitely makes spills easier to clean up vs on cloth. Regarding the wear and tear, I haven't noticed any significant creases or deformities in my c that had 19,000 miles before I sold it to my brother.

    My brother just uses the wipes you'd use to clean up leather seats with. Said it works well enough.
