Seat is comfortable enough but the leather (plasticized half leather?) is crap. Would rather have older Mercedes quality fabric.

My Dad put clear plastic seat covers on his 1960 Cadillac Coupe de Ville and we all hated them. The guy that bought the car loved the covers, he promptly took them off and enjoyed his brand new 6 year old used seats.

NICE. Fine Corinthian leather. Lol. I believe that leather in the Chrysler actually came from a farm in New Jersey, not Corinth. Lol
