Two questions.
Looking at slightly used crown victorias, and have two questions regarding the leather.
Can I still get the newer model crown vics without leather? seems cloth is a dying option, and i do not want leather.
Second question, some leather have heated seats and others don't... why would these cars be made with leather seats and have heat as an option? or am i missing something on the switch...
Can't help you on the availabilty of options...
However.... there is nothing in this world quite as cold as a leather seat on a sub-zero day...
Because some of them are sold in Arizona?
Or quite as hot when sitting on one when the car has been closed and it is 100+ in the sun.
Sure, I guess I should have added this is a canadian car, and was originally sold in canada.
I don't think I could live in a place that makes you feel like you need a shower 15 minutes after you took one....
-30... now there's a nice temp. Not so cold you can't roll the window down some.... but cold enough to make you appreciated heated seats....
Heated seats were an option, as were heated/cooled seats. The later, have the perforated leather seating surface.
What's wrong with leather? Every car I have owned in the past ten years have leather.
That not the case if one has automatic climate control and remote start. ;)
Or quite as hot when sitting on one when the car has been closed and it is 100+ in the sun.
Again, that not the case if one has automatic climate control and remote start. ;)
Not everyone has those... not everyone wants those....
For one of your other replies.... there isn't anything intrinsically wrong with leather seats.... some folks just don't like them....
I prefer buffalo meat (well, moose first if it isn't too willowy) - that doesn't mean everyone else is going to share my choices.
My wife decided on leather couches (that's a chesterfield in Canada)... I would have preferred something different....
-30!! Is that centigrade or Fahrenheit?
well i guess theres nothing wrong with it, I have a mustang with leather seats in it, but if i were to get another one, i would want cloth. my crown vic has cloth, and i want cloth again.
the leather wears very nice, is easy to clean, and looks good... but i just find it quite hot in the summer time, and not as comfortable as the cloth.
Wifes car too has leather, but i don't drive that often enough to make an opinion... its quite a different leather than the ford leather... (its a honda)... ford leather always seems more like vinyl to me... for some reason
