You mean the design of the cloth seats are hideous and not the feel of the seats . As much as I love my leather seats in winter, they are VERY uncomfortable after the car sits in the sun on a hot day. I've been taking a beach towel with me every where I go.

Sorry stupid question

Does VW sell seat covers for Polos with side airbag capability ?

Not sure if VW do, but i know there are a few aftermarket ones that are specifically designed with this in mind. I was at Autoone on the weekend looking and there are a couple brands that make them. But none of the ones i looked at had the separate head piece, they were all one piece.

Have you seen the seats on the TDI? They look like a kid's drawn on some grey seats with chalk.

I actually love the Interlagos - looks great

I am after just a sheet type seat cover only for the driver’s seat.... it bloody gets hard to clean and I can start to notice the fade in colour lol My brother has a snap on one for his car but I was wondering if VW have any?? Regretting I didn’t get the leather now!

Mate, I'm a Heavy Diesel mechanic, so I am usually black by the time I knock off at work. The best thing you can do is go to Auto Barn or Supercheap Auto and buy a slip on seat cover or 2 for the front seats. I just bought one for myself. Because of the airbag in the seat, all you do is unpick a bit of the stitching to allow for the airbag to deploy in that(very unfortunate)situation. I think it is the easiest and cheapest way to protect your seat. They are fairly loose, slip on, and just use elastic to stay on.
They cost about $20 to $30, and you can get them in a style to suit you like Auto Meter, K&N, NOS,or my personal favorite, Hello Kitty!!
