I have seen leathers in tiida's before. So if you have deep wallets possible ordering some from overseas would work. I know a company called Katzkins makes a quality product. Just not sure if they do the V. You might want to find an auto upholsterer.

I love the seats in the V... Soft to the touch and supportive. I always think of how hot leather seats get the pain they cause in the summer - OUCH!

The cold in the winter isn't any better

Since we passed by the dealership we looked inside the 2010 Versa's and Cube's. The SL model on the showroom floor (Versa) had different fabric than my Versa, but cheap wood dash trimming. And no cargo cover for the hatch. That was priced at $18K (with change).

The S model Cube on the showroom floor was auto (I believe it was CVT) but not the SL model and was $20K before taxes ...

These were the sale prices too.

well i was just thinking, as i am planning to get these seat covers

it would be nice to keep the actual seat fabric nice and clean and having a cover on it which doesn't look all that bad. The seat cover i am looking at is made to feel like leather but its not exactly which is why its cheaper, i think actual leather seat covers would retail around 500 bucks, can't even imagine the actual seats now :S

It says they are airbag ready, but that is why I swayed away from getting seat covers. I didn't want to take my chance.

But if you like them, the price is reasonable. You can give it a try.

really? i am actually thinking otherwise. The reason i am leaning towards these more is because it says they are airbag ready

Rob: Those look nice.

Are they trusting enough for the airbags?

What about the rear seat? Some Versa's (as does mine) have the back seat arm rest/cup holders that fold down out of the middle of the seat.

Devilzblood: I don't always trust ebay sellers. For that price $35, who is to say that it is air bag safe?

I would trust Katzkins. A nissan dealer installs them as factory upgrades for people who want a car with leather. They have been around forever and are known for their quality.

As far as the middle armrest I bet they make that too. They do plenty of cars with the armrest in the back.

edit: Just looked it up and yes they make it for the SL's with rear folding seat and armrest.

Katzkins are not cheap but they are top quality and have tons of options.

Those Katzkins look soo good...but just like Iluvmyv said, I wonder if the cup holder for the rear seats are still functional.

Yes they are I just looked it up. BTW these are not seat covers. They do not go over your cloth. You remove the cloth and actually reupholster your seat with these. If you are not handy like this you would need professional installation. They come out looking like your car came from the factory with leather.

Really? I just looked it up on that website and it says it goes over your existing seats.

"NO need to remove the original cloth."

That one does you are correct. Katzkins do not though. I thought that pic was of katzkins but they aren't.

Another quality product is www.leatherseats.com. There is debate if they are actually just katzkins but who knows.

Now THOSE are beautiful seats Bob.

and yea one would think that 35 bucks might be a little low but i am not too keen about seat airbags though :S

You don't like having airbags in the seat? Or you do?
