 ... seemed rather cheap to me even though the seats were well made it never really looked new. The seats in my current Bora are grey cloth and hold you well when driving on the bendy corners of the Scottish roads. One thing I will say about the grey is that it can stain very easily. Sitting in the drivers seat you can get access to most of the controls without having to move your attention from driving. Speedo, Rev counter etc are all clear to read and mounted well in front of the driver. Also in the console there is the fu...more
