S1 Leather manual seats ? Didn't know leather ever came in manual...
My criticism of the manual Xantia seats is the lack of adjustment options, especially lack of a rake adjustment for the base (I like the base leaning back a bit as I have long legs, the manual seat base only goes up or down) so I don't think leather vs cloth would make much of a difference there.
Especially as I have had cloth electric seats before (S1 Xantia 2.0i VSX) and they were also very comfy and adjustable, in fact they might have been even more comfy than the leather electric seats I have now in hindsight.
So in my opinion, manual seats = uncomfortable (for many) due to lack of adjustability to suit your body shape and prefered seating position, and electric seats = comfortable, regardless of cloth or leather finishing...
Xantia uncomfortable seat/driving position. Seat adjustment?

Yep, from a 1993 VSX I believe.
The design/pattern of seat looks different - the leather panels run up to down where as my cloth ones in my late car are side to side, if that makes sense?
