MB-Tex Dinamica or Leather for interior
#27
#31
I didn't want the dinamica insert since I had alcantara inserts on a recent car and was looking for a change of pace. MB Tex is probably one of the best leatherettes out there and it wears like iron. If you're good with the suede insert the only real downside is that there can be a slight plastic odor when the interior gets hot.

I had the same dilemma back when i was ordering my car. The non-slip dinamica characteristic was what prevented me from getting it. Although, very good for the track, on daily drives getting in and out, if i were wearing shorts it makes it bunch up on my crotch, hahaha! And it untucks my shirt from the back...! I knew i wanted the performance seats and when i saw the designo saddle brown... well...
Have a look at these door lock covers, maybe not to everyone's taste but they do look good http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4x-Stainl...oAAOSwhQhY4ix4

I debated between the whole MB Tex/Leather/Std Sport/AMG seats for so long before I placed my order!
Basically I was like well you either go all the way and get leather+AMG or just stick with the standard sport seats+AMG Tex.
I did want leather seats because I have two huskies who would be in the back seats from time to time and they shed like crazy (and the fur/hair wont latch onto leather as much, I thought).
Eventually went for the standard seats+MB Tex as it saved me some CAD5000 on the car. They are quite nice and no one can really tell that it is not leather. The alcantara parts are quite easy to clean too. No scratch, no stains, still as good as new.
The only thing is - every time I see some of those nice leather bucket seats photos u guys posted I am like "damn...that's nice". But I guess I have the same response every time I see a C43 coupe too (got the sedan coz the dogs want to stick their heads out).

I had Mb Tex on my 2016 c450 that I traded in.. I didn't like it because there was always brown marks on the driver seat cushion..every couple days I had to clean it and it was getting annoying.. so on my 2017 I decided to go with leather.. apparently the leather isn't much better... the cushion is still getting the brown marks too..

get yourself one of these for your Huskies. I think I paid $35 on Amazon. It protects the seats, and keeps pooch from putting himself up front.

Have leather (not designo) and like it. Had the MB-Tex and liked it too. I know the leather looks better on the C43, because my wife told me so and that is what we ordered.

Go for leather all the way! MB Tex is stiff and smells like chemicals. Be gentle to your lower back and get the leather . We aren't getting younger. Nobody should have to sit in that stiff faux leather bullsh*t seats. TBH- Mercedes should get rid of MB Tex altogether.

Also, just for argument sake, black leather with red top stitching and red seat belts or cranberry red seats with black seatbelts?

ventilated seats suck, literally.
Not worth it. Have them on the CLS that Im trading for the C43 this coming saturday. You barely feel them in contrast to other card I have owned.

I like the ventilated seats, but I can see how it might be a personal preference. I don't really need air whooshing through my pants, I just like how it cools the seat in summer. If you live in a hot climate (and especially if you have a dark interior, I think it's nice.
I've used the ones on Audi and I think the airflow might be more noticeable.

hello all, Newbie here. I am in Canada and just ordered a 2018 c43. I noticed you say the performance seat is available in both full leather AND dinamica. I was told I can only have the performance seat with black leather - no other way, i.e. not even two tone so just want to know if definitely you can get other options on the performance seats. maybe it is a canadian thing ....

Canada usually has options more in line with european options.

um...... do you even know what alcantara/dinamica is...? And also the leather is a joke in the C class. Unless you get the leather package it’s crap. Stiff as hell. Kill yourself PLEASEEEEE. And the smell of leather...? Get the hell outta here
