Dealing with Dealers

[tooch]

I first saw the seats on a blue Polo, thought to myself how crap they looked.

When I test drove my car, somehow the seats suited the red. They don't frey and suit the interior IMO. each to their own.

I don't mind leather, but I can be a sweaty boy and I don't want the added weight of seat warmers (I know its not much, but every kg counts).

Yeah I always thought the cloth pattern suited my car in silver.

And +1 on the sweating thing, especially after I leave the gym

Plus, heated seats have been linked to a reduced sperm count so that is another plus for cloth.

you could save the 3k for leather and spend it on Blistein PS9's.

I don't plan to have kids so it's another option instead of the snip.

I wanted a sunroof, but realised my head would touch the roof when wearing a helmet (on trackdays), darn it.

Just recline the seat way back like a wog in a WRX

Or hunch yourself way down when the CAMS officials walk past (like I had to in my old Mx5 to get the top of my helmet under the cage )

Hahaha, yup, cos holding the bottom of the steering wheel and looking out the back windows is the way I roll.

Funny you mention the WRX. Ever sat in a WRX with a sunroof, my head touches without a helmet. So buy a used WRX with a sunroof from a tall guy. but I'm now going off topic.

Really? How tall are you?

I used to own a MY05 WRX WRP10 which didn't have a sunroof and it had plenty of head room for me (I'm 5'10).

Mind you, my Polo which actually had a sunroof has slightly more head room than I had in the WRX. But the Polo is quite a tall car.

Try sitting in an AW11 MR2

Mine is the hardtop model which has the most headroom, would be fun trying to wear a helmet in a sunroof/targa model!

I'm 6', have short arms, a long torso and sit quite upright. Gotta love the adjustability of the seats in the polo.
