About 15 years ago I was having the same problem, and finally gave in and took the car with the leather seats. I've never looked back, and don't ever want a car without leather again!

Just in case you might be willing to consider leather... How sure are you that you won't like the leather if you get it? I can understand if it is a matter of principal, but if you were like me, you may not want leather for all the wrong reasons! I didn't realize how much easier leather was to take care of, how much cooler it was in the summer (after the first few seconds of dissipating the surface heat) and how much more comfortable it is year round.
