I can't really attest to the leather seats in the X but I can say from experience that I prefer to avoid leather seats in general. Due to several reasons, one being the temperature change in the summer and winter. Next due to wear and tear. I seem to see a lot more leather seats having to be re-upholstered vs the cloth seats, leather seats also tend to show wear a lot easier than cloth seats. Again, I don't have any experience with the X's leather, or Mitsu for that matter.

 

Just found this car, has every option but nav. They also painted the fender vents and hood vents to WW (I was told they can get the black ones back if I dont like them)

The interior also has the upgraded aluminum shift knob and Ebrake handle. Feels A LOT nicer than stock and looks classier.

The interior on the 13 is not as bad as I remember on the X, the doors had leather on the panels, the center consol had a glossy black plastic and the dash would be changed out to the CF most likely anyways so I am not concerned with that.

Seats feel a bit tighter than my IX seats did. But I also put on around 45 more pounds since I had that car

Just saw your other post about the nav and lease ..... (https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...uy-sunday.html)you mentioned a new baby ( .... so I guess this should be the main consideration ?

Leather's easy to clean and cloth simply ain't, whereas baby seats won't be sliding around anyhow. Wear & tear on leather is always going to be worse than clothm even assuming iroc-evo doesn't hv a fat ***
Enjoy the car, WW is the right color choice

 

Hi! You can add the Nav, it's an easy install. (Dealer will charge, but what the heck) I did - not for the Navigation, but the hard drive!! I store 40+ CD's in the car - my favs. Using music server. I also MUCH prefer the larger display for Sirius, with multiple fav lists and easy to see and choose. I don't use the Nav alot - but it's great when you are looking for a freeway onramp in an unfamiliar place. I found it fairly accurate. The real time traffic does work too. And finding a particular fast food place on a nearby offramp can really help save time looking.
Also, many don't know, but you can access a lot of the cars systems and settings through the Nav too. (alarm/climate controls/service record, etc) And, you can use the touch display to navigate your iPod/Nano/iPhone, etc.

 

Thanks for all the good info, leather is deff my choice without a doubt. For the cost of the car, at this point I cannot justify it with cloth.

 

How many miles on these seats??? They actually look to be holding up GREAT!

 

Lint...fuzz...dust...everything stick to cloth.

 

Leather is the way to go, except on those 110 degree days.

 

I love my leather seats and my navi! The navi is so much more than just navi also... plus imo looks way better than the standard radio dash...

 

+ 1000

 

lol I was just sitting in this car a few hours ago as mitsu changed my fluids

 

It looks REALLY nice in the showroom. The lights hit the WW like a big pizza pie thats amore'

 

I guess I'm just not sure how to use the nav then. For instance, how the hell would I find the post office? I've tried typing in "post office," "usps," etc.

 

leather is awesome. i love it. i never move an inch when driving. dont have the nav though..

 

I have the leather and the navi. I would on everything with the seats, they seem to hold up well and really arent terrible in the summer or winter (heated seats help that). I rarely use the navi, but I think it looks much cleaner than the standard radio unit. Not sure if the standard radio does any of this but you can track your maintenance schedule and other data (nothing crazy but mpg or mph etc.) through the navi unit too. I am happy that I went with the leather and navi
