I haven't had any stain issues with my 09 seats, although my Dodge SRT4 has the same type of seating material and it stains really easy. I got the stone coloured seats and they seem to be okay, but others have complained about them in terms of staining. Mine have gotten water spilled on them without stains, but I would think a coloured liquid could do some nice staining on them. I've had leather seats on a few cars (Escape and Fusion), and I find them too uncomfortable in terms of hot weather and cold weather use. The Escape cloth seats feel very comfortable. |
