I'm hesitant on my next car purchase. I like a small car and really don't like the two tiered dash in the Civic so that's out of the question. I really do like the 08 TSX but here in the states, it only available in leather. And the few leftovers now only have Navigation which is a waste to me because I rarely use it. The cheapest I have been offered for one is 26,500. Not owning any cars in the past with leather, I'm a bit hesitant on purchasing it. For one I do sometimes put heavy things in the back seat so I'm worried about tearing the leather/vinyl. I guess a blanket would help but not 100% sure. Also the hot and coldness of the seats may bother me, perhaps a windshield cover may help in the summer months. I don't mind conditioning it every 2-3 months, but want the leather to be pristine as it is from day one and I don't see that ever happening.
So I was looking at Acura's site in Canada and sure enough they make the base 09 model with cloth seats! Does anyone know if I could get one special ordered with cloth seats? I wouldn't mind importing one in but I don't want the speedometer to be in kilometers.
Any help would be appreciated.
