Lala81 Hypersonic May 18, 2018 Share May 18, 2018 (edited) Consider synthetic leather seat covers - cheaper and protects your fabric seats https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-honda-fit-seat-covers.html From past experience, locally fitted leather seats that cost about $1,000 don't last unless you pay $2,000 for premium leather u guys rub your kar cheng against the seats very often issit? While the feel is not premium and can be hot under the sun, those synthetic cheapo leather seats are quite lasting right? It took like 5 years before my driver seat edges on my altis got some wear and tear. And i parked in open air carpark. Unless it's like PHV or taxi then i can understand really can get totally chui in few years Edited May 18, 2018 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceng Turbocharged May 18, 2018 Share May 18, 2018 (edited) Look at the locally fitted leather seats of this 1+ year old Mitsubshi Attrage - lots of folds. These low end locally fitted leather are very thin and the average price of $1,000 does not justify for such low quality, most of which are leather imported form China and cannot last in this hot local climate. http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=690573&DL=3052 1 year + locally fitted leather seats of Mitsubishi Attrage 5 years old BMW 520i Edited May 18, 2018 by Vinceng 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfaye29 Turbocharged May 18, 2018 Share May 18, 2018 Dear all, Just committed to a new Honda Fit 1.3 (PI Model) yesterday. Leather seats were not included in the package so I need to source for my own outside. Any recommended shops with good workmanship yet not too pricey? Thanks! @sunset73 can share the price and PI?

Zxcvb Turbocharged May 18, 2018 Share May 18, 2018 Fabric seats good only when the country is cold. Still remember in UK, once jump inside the car damn cosy feeling with the fabric seats.

If leather, sure feels like sitting on cold toilet seat!! Fabric seats also catches dust easily if one does not clean the seats regularly. But in the past, many B&B cars only have fabric seats and people also live with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, $1k is not cheap for such quality. My factory fitted ones are still in very good condition after 9 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optramagnum 6th Gear August 28, 2018 Share August 28, 2018 Car seats require regular maintenance one. I used Armourall leather care whenever I wash car.. If want long-lasting seats, consider PVC Material.. Although less comfortable than leather but alot less costly. Not as if we spending a lot time siting in the car everyday..

Nicholas 5th Gear August 29, 2018 Share August 29, 2018 I put bamboo/charcoal cushion (fart no smell) over my leather seat to make it more cooling, a bit higher and more comfortable. If you're scared that your fabric seats dirty easily just put seat covers and make sure no drinks other than plain water in car. For Honda Fit accessories are easily available. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
