Hi All,
I drive a wonderful little old Acura Integra that I bought used when it was a couple of years old. I don't NEED to buy a new car, but, I'm beginning to feel the "itch" to do so. Also, my dear Mom really, really is pushing me to buy something -- to the extent that she's bribing me about it!!
Have you recently bought a new car? Did you find a car you really liked, that was sporty but also luxurious, AND that didn't have leather as the only seating surface option? I'm going NUTS trying to find something that fits these criteria this time around. Maybe I just need to wait this leather craze out. . .
It is PARTLY that I don't want to buy a lot of leather on humane grounds -- it seems so heartless to me to sit on seats upholstered with dead animal skins and run around saving cats! But also, I've never much liked the way leather is hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and how slidey it is when you corner or stop or start up. I know lots of the new cars have heated seat options with leather, but c'mon, you don't NEED that if you just use a nice luxurious VELOUR fabric! (My Dad drove a Cadillac years ago that had the LOVELIEST thick wine colored velour seats! Now, that's luxury, to me!)
I've looked at the Acura RSX, the Honda Accord LX, the Chrysler 300M, the Acura TL, even the Mazda 6s. I've always driven Hondas and Acuras, but it looks like I'm gonna have to jump ship, the Mazda's got cloth seating options.
Any other cars I should look at?
