I have a P300 base with cloth seats manual adjustment but they are heated. I have only driven it on long road trips and offroad. I find the seats great and easy to clean. Seem pretty durable so far loaded with crates on the back seats over miles of offroad trails. Lines from the crates disappeared after wiping them down.

Taking her to Baja for a 1500 mile trip at the end of the mknth.

Thanks for the replies guys after further consideration I think I'm going to stick with the S trim 12-way seats, I'm really kind of smitten with this khaki interior option at the moment. My last three vehicles have been black interior and the most recent is brown interior, something really different would be nice so I'm going to go with the khaki. I have what I've dubbed the honey badger build that I just can't seem to get away from, it's a 90 with white roof, white steelies and the carpathian paint. Can't resist this vehicle, must order soon... lol

hmm.... maybe my sits just "feel" cooled

When I turned the AC on and rotated the button counter clockwise to turn on seat cooling, the seat display didn't change to show the level of cooling, like it does for the heated seats. Dang it.

But coming from an XC90 with fully adjustable, leather seats with lumbar support, at first adjusting seat height and rear/forward position by hand (like we did in our 2000 Honda Civic, was kind of comical (we literally laughed and said for $65k you'd think we had power), but we knew what we were getting and I'm already used to it (she doesn't like driving so not much adjusting going on).

Adjustability aside, if I had to do it again, I'd get the leather seats. We eat and snack in the car on road trips. The cloth seems to be a magnet for food crumbs and dirt and it's not easy to just wipe off. If this was surf season and we were driving back and forth to the beach, sand and wax would be an issue.

This weekend's task is Scotch Guarding. Never done it before, so any tips appreciated.

I've Scotch Guarded many car seats before. Nothing to it, just spray away. Be sure you're in a well ventilated space, breathing the fumes probably isn't a good idea. It takes a while to dry, so maybe do it at the end of the day and avoid using the car until the next day. If you can, depending on where you park, leave the windows open over night.
