After much research and indecision, I've made up my mind and am moving forward with getting Katzkin leather seats for my 2010 Corolla LE.
I've ordered the "premium" interior which is the one-tone leather with no special piping or inserts. Does anyone in this forum have this setup and can you post your interior photos here? I'm having the leather installed later this week and can't wait to see what it looks like.
I'm also curious what leather care products you recommend.
Thanks!

I don't have any leather seats in my cars as I hate them, sticking to leather seats during hot summer months has never been a plus to me. I do use a wonderful leather care product from Griot's Garage though for my leather steering wheels, shift boots, etc.

I'm with SuperchargedMR2 and FlawedLegacy. Even with the AC on, I've found myself sticking unpleasantly to leather seats in restaurants in general. I imagine it being worst in a car where I have no choice but to stay seated.
I too like the look of leather seats sooo nice and luxurious. I totally would get them if my bum didn't disagree with them. I'm goin for Cover King's spacer mesh!
oh dam thats alot~!!! rather use that money for coilover
I really don't intend to upgrade/modify the engine or suspension. I just want a nice, comfortable cabin to cruise in. I do enjoy seeing the photos of mods & enhancements TN members make to their vehicles.
Next time I buy another Corolla I'd like to have a sunroof and leather seats from the factory, not aftermarket. Living in Texas and having leather seats could be a pain, but fortunately I park in a garage at work and at the end of the day it's nice and cool inside. Sometimes I don't even have to turn on the A/C!

I had leather seatcovers at one point just to protect the seats from my dog. Even with good installation and a little imagination I kinda think stock looks better. I miss the leather I had in my BMW and my maxima.... but those we heated

what kind of maxima did you have? i used to have a 5th gen GLE. i miss it :/
Between San Antonio and Austin. On the edge of the Texas Hill Country
That will make the leather seats more uncomfortable with the humidity in that part of Texas. I was thinking if you were more in western Texas like Lubbock it's much drier.
