Question regarding the leather...and side mirrors!

if we get the leather..is it perforated?...breatheable?..i will have 2 toddlers in the car...is leather still advisable or the mb-tex?..

where all will we see the ambient lighting?

anyone have blind spot issues with the small side mirrors?


thanks.

even if you have mb-tex, the seating surfaces (2 of them; square panels on seat back and seat bottom) are still leather, so getting the leather option doesn't change anything about the 'style' of the seat like perforated or not, etc.

the ambient lighting from what i can tell is a faint amber behind the door handles and footwells.
