yes, accidentally pushing the buttons FTL. also, it made it relatively easy for passengers to turn on the seat heaters just to bug me until i noticed it, getting hot in the meantime

As long as I know something had to die to make me more comfortable I'm good. Seriously, cloth in the summer+heated leather in the winter=win

I like my leather seats, they look a lot cleaner and don't absorb odors like cloth does. In the accord they have more padding then the cloth seats so they are also more comfortable than the cloth seats. Here's a little tip if you wanna keep your leather a little cooler during the summer, just buy a visor for the entire front windshield and put it on when the vehicle is in park wherever you are and it will also keep the interior better hidden in case you have any valuables inside the car while at a store or something.

i was just looking on ebay at hondas to see if you leather guys are right. I searched for accords with the same year. I found 1 with leather at 90k miles and the drivers seat looked like crap - seam coming apart and numerous cracks. I then saw one with 160k with cloth and it still looked great. I have never come across a "stinky" cloth seat. I will say that I helped a frien move. He had a leather couch that the dog sat on and it reeked real bad. He wanted to sell it, and finally someone gave him 200 bucks for it (he paid 1600 originally). The new buyer spent a whole day cleaning it, but never could get the smell out, so he threw it in the trash. All you leather lovers are wrong! Not easier to maintain, doesn't last longer and looks terrible when worn (also costs much more). Makes no sense.
