To be fair, the seats could be made of Velcro and it wouldn't make any difference on an Elite.

Truly horrendous at spirited cornering in Elite guise.

Jamie shouldn't have as much trouble moving side ways in an Elite seat as he fills it better than you.  ::) ::) ::) ::)

Leather seats are fundamentally flawed. Burn in summer, freeze your gonads in winter until the heaters kick in. And on a hot day, even with the A/C working overtime, you still end up with a sweaty back.

Cloth have no such faults.


So whilst they (excluding the early elite ones) might look nice, they are pretty impractical....

It is my opinion, you're right :y

But cold in winter and hot in summer seems a bit daft. In my humble opinion, of course :P

Cloth Omega elite seats look lovely, leather is nice but has to be heated and cooled I think.

Summer I agree it can get hot. But in the winter I have clothing between me & my seats so can't say it's particularly cold!  ;)

IMHO, the 'Summer' issue isn't really relevant with cream leather...... my Cavalier with Black leather is a nightmare.

The 'Winter' issue is remedied by the fact the heater in the Omega supplies hot air very quickly and the heated seats (when working) are pretty quick too. 

Also, if it's minus 10 celcius, cloth will be just as cold.  Not sure there is much difference in cloth/leather when it comes to the cold tbh.  :-/
