Leather seats

[imported_Sam]

Which models, if any, in 2006 come with leather seating? Im a big fan of leather seats, especially in summer. Are there any new Civics with leather, or is this an optional extra?

I know they have leather steering wheels, Im pretty sure they dont come with leather seating, I will check it out though.
You can always detail the car in leather if you wanted it

I posted the premium package in another thread and there is no leather seating option. I do not think the civic is targeted at the leather seat crowd.

I think you see leather seats when you get into the mid 20s.

Yes, most likely people who want leather seats would rather buy a BMW than a Civic.
Civics are great for people with kids and the last think you want if you have kids are nice leather seats for them to dirty up

I think leather seats are a bit over-rated. I have owned cars much more expensive than a civic before, and I wish I could get cloth seats. A friend of mine told me a story of a guy who bought an $80k Jaguar XJR and had them tear out the factory leather seats and put cloth seats in. Apparently his wife was a big animal rights supporter.

Anyways, leather takes a lot of upkeep, and even then over time the leather fades and cracks, even with really good care.

I like leather seats myself. It is too bad they do not have them as an option. As the prices of all cars go up, though, maybe they will add them. Maybe to the new sedan.

Leather seats are beautiful. All luxury cars have leather.
They are easy to clean, look good and are cool to sit on.

Leather seated surfaces are more durable than cloth when it comes down to kids. It is easier to wipe up spilled drinks on leather. Also the new 2008 models have leather as an option now!!

There is a leather seat option on the 2008 models, not 2006 or 2007.

Yes, I'm picking up a 2008 EX-L this weekend.

i really wish the 2007 LX came with a lumbar stiffness adjuster :/ oh well.

Got the car today. The leather is nice. Seems durable and it's not super soft. It's like Benz leather.

The leather is nice in the new Civic. I almost purchased a EX-L but then saw the blue cloth in the Hybrid and got it instead.

i saw an EX at the dealership where i got my car which had leather seats. they told me it was a special floor model, and for the leather wrapped seats, it was something that had to be specifically asked, then youd be waiting a while, and it would be expensive (like anything done by a dealer!). You may do better by checking out a few private upholsters, see what they get to wrap your existing seats, or even removing the cloth and restitching some leather. and did i read that right? you like leather in the summer? i dunno, im not a leather fan, especially in the summer!
