I miss the bench seats that were in all the cars of the 60's. And those stupid seatbelts that burned your ass when you sat on them. Everyone just tucked them under the seats anyways.

Bench seats. You just can't do it in cars these days like you could in the cars from a few decades ago.

Sure you can. Just have her climb on top while you are in the driver's seat!

What if you have leather racing bucket seats?

I like how now they are offering bench seats as a feature... "New sedan seats 6 adults!" You used to pay extra for buckets now you can pay extra for bench seats. It's like appliance colors!

Leather is cool for daily driving and having a nice looking car, but those racing seats are great for all-out driving. Extremely comfortable and they hold you right where you are.

Never actually driven a car with bench seats, although it seems like they have a lot of benefits too. :)

Anything but leather. I don't like the hot/cold from them during summer and winter.. not to mention you tend to slide on them. Plus I don't want to pay the extra for them

If a car has leather it's a huge turn off for me. I move on to the next vehicle I'm interested in.

whats that?

It's a synthetic suede like fabric. It's very grippy, stays cool like fabric, is anti-static, and reasonably easy to clean. It wears well too; much more durable than leather. It's used in the Aston Martin Vanquish V12, as well as a bunch of aftermarket applications.

I think my car's seats are actually classified as leather bucket seats, from what I've read. Although they don't seem much like bucket seats to me. :confused:

Anyways, they're very comfortable. :)
