I've only had my '05 SSR for a couple of weeks, and for -- the most part -- have few/no complaints.
But I did just notice for the first time last night that the side sections of the seat bottoms are covered in vinyl, not leather. How cheap is that?
I've owned numerous vehicles with leather seats, and I'm very familiar with the term "leather seating surfaces," which is car-maker-speak for (at best) "leather only on the parts of the seats that touch your body (back/butt/legs and sometimes head). So the backs and sides of the seat surfaces are covered with vinyl, velour, cloth, whatever.
But this stingy application of leather to the "seating surfaces" of the SSR stretches even that definition, especially on a vehicle in this price range!
Is this a new development ('05 model year, or even mid-year), or are all the SSR's like this?
