Is that the CDX? If they can't go back to the cloth seats after using leather, then there is not much choice but to kick the base Euro out of the comparison... But.... the Euro is still mechanically a good car. I get better fuel consumption with pure city driving in my manual euro than an auto 1.8L astra doing combined city/freeway (and still having my daily redline fix).
