I have the 1.4 Sport with the fabric seats - they are black vinyl with a silver grey cloth for the actual seat cushion.
The problem is, that after 8,000 miles and 11 months, the driver's seat is looking decidedly tatty. The seat cushion itself (on the base) has rucked up, and is looking very sordid because rainwater stains it quite horribly. I am talking about clear, clean rainwater here, which you simply can't avoid getting in the car in Cornwall. This is not helped by the 500's doors curving inward so much at the top.
I never drive the car in dirty clothes, and I am quite anal about keeping it clean. But if the seat looks this bad after less than a year, it is going to be looking awful in a few more year's time.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
