Hi all,

I reckon the interior of the Stagea is damn nice, and I wondered what do people think of the cloth interior vs the leather trim? Especially interested to hear from owners with the leather option... what's it like on a hot day?

I originally saw and fell in love with the cloth interior style like the one here:

I have seen this one in a couple of stag's in real life and I think it looks every bit as good as in the photos. It seemed to be the 'deluxe' trim in S1? I haven't seen any S2's with this trim so I guess it was only a S1 option, S2 cloth looks cool though as well (seem to be a few different styles with S2).

Only thing I don't like about cloth is I reckon it couldn't last as well as leather:

...example of the leather S1/2's I have seen. Yeah I really need to test drive one or something to make up my mind but I'm a little way off that stage yet. So... which interior for you???

my S2 has the black leather interior,and I love it. my windows are tinted,and I use a windscreen shade when parked (to keep things cool as well as hide my stereo,gauges and such from prying eyes),so it doesn't get hot.

on the odd occasion when I don't fit the shade,the seats get warm of course,but they don't burn you or anything like vinyl did in old cars.

it's also nicer to sit on,and is easiere to clean than velour.

Yeah I prefer leather, but mainly for the ability to clean it, because kids being kids tend to spill things, and it is a whole lot easier to clean leather then cloth. When you leave it in a spot where the sun can shine directly on the seats, (mainly the front ones as the back windows are anodised, well most of them are :thumbsup:) anyway when the suns shines directly on it yeah it gets hot, but I hardly ever do, and if I have to I do leave a sunshade across the windscreen and only once has my wife jumped in and said that the seats were hot, not hot enough for her to jump off it but, and in rockhampton it gets HOT.

The black leather also seamlessly melds in with the other black bits of the interior and my door trim, so it all just looks a lot more proffessional then the cloth in my opinion.

Although when I sat in Robs RIP beast I found that the cloth seats dont seem as flat as the leather ones on the back and the leather didnt seem to have the "bouncyness" on the bottom that my leather did...........?

The "leather" trim is not real leather

There is another name for it, but can not remember what it is called.

Is it listed what it is called in the Stagea sales mags

It is a artifical copy of leather

Series 2 manual trim is the best looking

I have the leather and was one of the features that convinced me to buy the car. Definately adds a luxury feel and th black fits really well with th rest of the car. I think the pic you have might be of my car - did you get it the picture from the presitge motorsport website?

After having my one year old son spill half a litre of milk on the back seat i would never buy a car with cloth again!

If you can get the Momo steerring wheel like the one in the pic you will be doing well. It is the same as the local WRX.

Sorry Darren, the Leather is real..... it is used along with an artificial leather in the sides and back of the seats.

Supplale ® (a Jap interpretation of supple, I guess).

An optional seating system combining genuine leather with SUPPLALE¨ for excellent cost performance is available on the X Series and RS FOUR V models. SUPPLALE¨ has greater moisture-absorbing capacity than ordinary artificial leather, is extraordinarily close to real leather in appearance and is also easy to maintain. (SUPPLALE¨ is a registered trademark of Idemitsu Petrochemical Co., Ltd.)

Mine has it, but I haven't sat in them yet :D .... car arrives 25th Jan :O:D:D

incidentally if you get the leather option, then I beleive that the rear cargo blind is also leather (probably artificial).

The series 2 manual cloth insert material is the same as a R33 GTR series 1 & 2 grey and blue

So you could get some R33 GTR seats for a upgrade option

I bought a full set of series 2 manual door trims and rear seat to match my Garage Impul seats which a very similar cloth.

Attached is the pair of Garage Impul seats I have in mine

the covers l got from the leatherette group buy are quiet good for what they cost. Just outta interest has anyone else got them since the template was made? i hope my 7wks without seats didn't go to waste.

Ok they're not 100% leather, but look close enough to it and wear quiet well. Just need to get my door inserts done in a black suede.

I wasn't a fan of the cloth, looked too much like an interior of a bus headed to QLD.
