electric leather interior... rare?

[dubstyle]

...how rare? from my 2 week ownership of a leon cupra, i dont seem to notice many with leather interior and electric front seats... like what ive got

discuss.

 

[Fl@pper]

seen early ones that had it and an option on the list iirc until about 01/02

after that it was pretty much special/import order

few around though

 

[Skint]

They are nice.
They get red hot in the sun though. And you have to lose the cupholder for the heating switches.
Gutted.

 

[dholdi]

Never used the cupholder yet, dont fancy fluids all over the stereo cc etc.

 

[traumapat]

quite a few of us are lucky with leather.

I haven't got memory on my electric seats - but otherwise

Mines an 02 pre-facelift Cupra. Loads like mine with leather.

 

[smokescreen]

Saw a low mileage, electric leather pre facelift 02. Does look very nice, but I just couldnt get too comfortable in it. That and my other half hates leather.

 

[dubstyle]

oh, i didnt know you could get heated ones too!! doh!
no memory on mine either.

 

[Skint]

oh, i didnt know you could get heated ones too!! doh!
no memory on mine either.

I'm just lucky i think. The owner before me ticked all the boxes: sunroof, heated leather, headlamp squirters..
Could've bought an audi for that?

When I got my LC new in March 02, the leather electric seats cost me £1800 extra, there was no heating option on UK cars and no squirter option either. So if your car has these from that date period, it was an import.

I love my leather to be honest . Got memory but no heating

 

[ipd56]

i got leather and it very nice on my 52 plate facelift

 

[robbob]

i got leather and memory, no heating tho, '01 prefacelift

 

[jamiebennett81]

mine are full leather all round, with memory front seats

 

[JamesL]

dont mind about the memory but if I had leather would like heated - after borrowing my gf's car when it was freezing it did chill me quite a lot

 

[skullarms]

2001 cupra t, black leather, electric, not heated or memory though!

 

[ben-cupra]

I have just bought a set of half leather seats out of a Toledo.
They have memory settings but not heated...
Only problem is im having trouble fitting them.
DO THEY FIT??? ANYONE KNOW??

 

[ravemstr]

If they came out of a Toledo the fit! I've got full electric(with memory) full leather
Not heated sadly

 

[keaney]

I have leather on my 02,no memory or heating,they are nice but do get super hot in the summer,and after cleaning they are a swine to stay in if you throw it around the corners!

 

[drvince]

I think because it wasn't issued/exported to the UK ??
As goes with more options, I noticed over the years reading this forum.

Including my 4 wheel drive

My Cupra has full leather interior (which includes everything inside,
up to the door boards).
Front seats are electrically adjustable, in all directions (with memory) and
are heated.

Our Cupra R's have this ugly Recaro interior made of cheap fabric
with a little bit of leather on the sides.

And in the R it is not possible to choose any other interior (!!)
That's the main reason I did'nt want the R
