Had my GTi PP for over 4.5 years, 36K miles, 2 kids, 1 husband. After all the school runs, children taxi service work, and a few holidays up & down the country....Tartan seats look as good as new. And I still love them. Had leather seats before, too cold (initially) in winter, too hot in Summer (& legs stick to it if your wearing shorts or a skirt!!!).
