      'vegan leather' or 'synthetic leather' you see in all the new cars is much the same, it's just a rebrand - there's different grades, some better than others

          no one uses real leather nowadays, officially it's to appease animal lovers and for sustainability, but we all know it's to cut cost. in some ways high quality 'fake' leather is actually easier to maintain than real leather.

            @May4th: still this was a factor when I was choosing my next ride. was shocked when most BMW models within my budget were "vegan leather" only. sheiße! but constellations aligned and they gave me a good deal on a model where leather interior comes standard, problem solved for a few years, but I am not looking forward to getting a new car after that.

              @shabaka: BMW has been offering faux leather since mid 1970s if I am not wrong. Leather does not always means luxury. If you live in a humid country, you want synthetic material. Mould will party in your leather car if not driven for a few weeks.

                in the former case, p much any glorified golf cart will do

                and in the latter, well. bimmer and merc know their target audience

                there's a reason why you'd normally pay extra for leather trim. hence awkward moment when a bimmer model doesn't even have such an option lol

            @May4th: I still reckon it's all BS. Cows are killed and we eat meat. May as well use all of the carcass - That includes the hide to make leather.
            My last Lexus was nearly 14 years old and the leather was immaculate. Looked and felt amazing.
            I'm betting this modern synthetic crap won't last / look or feel anywhere near over the long term.

            high quality 'fake' leather is actually easier to maintain than real leather.

            Easier to maintain for the few years it retains it's form, then it's impossible to maintain and it literally disintegrates, hence OP's question.

              @1st-Amendment: if you want to be pedantic I guess I should say "most don't use real leather apart from higher trims from premium makes" eg. even merc and BMW use synthetic on their cheaper models ie. MB-Tex, BMW Veganza etc

              • 1st-Amendment on 07/02/2025 - 09:37

                @May4th:

                if you want to be pedantic

                Not pedantic, just tied to reality. There's plenty of real leather products out there (furniture, shoes, clothing etc) and will always be because the meat industry is massive and there is a readily available supply of product. To say "no one uses real leather nowadays" is just absurd.

                I guess I should say "most don't use real leather apart from higher trims from premium makes"

                Which has always been the case, leather is a premium product. We're only starting to see more 'pleather' as it replaces cloth trims because it's now more affordable to get a premium look without the cost (although only for a few years until the pleather disintegrates, which it eventually will).

          Scientifically you're right because black absorbs the sun's energy than reflect like white… But realistically makes little to no difference, you're still going to be hot as f in a white car.

            @smartProverble: There may have a slight difference in temps but the main issue is to keep it clean. Lighter colours are easier to maintain as you can't see dust on it as much.

            • skillet on 07/02/2025 - 09:03

              @paullovesbargains: Then people need to wear LEDs to be extra high vis because all cars are high vis. Europe fixed this by introducing DRLs but not so useful from the side.

I suggest you read some journals from the first settlers here from the 19th century to get an idea of what 'normal' is. Spoiler alert: Heat waves, Droughts, Floods and Fires have ALWAYS been normal in Australia.

          I just read your comment on the internet, so I guess you're wrong too. In terms of numerical performance, the ZF 8HP is superior to the best manual driver, and most dual clutch transmissions. You'll find this traditional (planetary gears and torque converter) automatic gearbox in hundreds of car models including the BMW M3 Competition (and nearly every other combustion BMW), Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, Audi RS6, Lamborghini Urus, Rolls-Royce Wraith, and Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

              If you lack knowledge in a certain area, it's OK. we're all here to learn. you can literally Google, or ask ChatGPT, every single vehicle listed by @Simon Wright uses torque converter. the irony…

              It’s less economical than a CVT, it shifts slower than a DCT and it’s less engaging than a traditional manual.

              I'm going to ignore the cringe terminologies like "traditional" auto and "traditional" manual for the sake of the following:

              use some critical thinking skill please, why would performance cars with 2,3,4x the displacement (regardless of transmission) have better fuel economy than econoboxes equipped with CVT? If it's so good, name a SINGLE performance vehicle equipped with CVT.

          why does it surprise you that torque converters built 20 years later could handle power?

          ZF 8HP can handle up to 1000Nm, and maybe more. B58 and S58 mfs are literally downloading horsepower from the internet and that transmission can take it.

The discussion was inherently moronic from the beginning and that was my point lol. No validity to complain about driving feel when you have a go and stop pedal and nothing else. Before you say "womp womp race cars have autos" we are talking about an MG suv not a racecar.

      I can understand if you came up with literally any other concern. "China bad", "unknown reliability", "not enough power", etc. I'll even empathize with one or more of those.

      But that you can't "get used to" CVTs?! Like what's there to get used to? You simply put it in drive and open the throttle and it goes.

        CVT works and feels different from a conventional automatic. Probably means the feeling, as in the lack of fear shifts and the drone.

          I understand what a CVT is and how it works (owned a Maxima that had a CVT), but it should not take more than 15 minutes to "get used to" one. If one understands what a CVT is, then it should be even more easier to ignore the drone or whatever else associated with it.

          Even enthusiast cars like WRX (obviously the automatic variant) has a CVT. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. The car being discussed on this thread is quite literally the cheapest "SUV" on the market that gets one from A to B, so a CVT is not a point of contention in that context. It's not like a conventional automatic gearbox is going to make this car suddenly enjoyable to drive.

            @CocaKoala: Have you driven both varieties? The ZS with the basic auto and the ZST with the CVT?
            I have and the basic ZS was better to drive with the conventional auto, more responsive, at town speeds anyway. The ZS 1.5 with the CVT had vague power application, and a noticeable delay on pick up that made for a pretty bad driving experience.
            The 1.3 with the turbo and 6 speed was better than both. Surprisingly perky.
            Others had the same experience https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16237863/redir

      I prefer the driving experience of revving through the gears. I know CVTs are more efficient but personally, do not like the vague feel. Sounds like some people do like them over traditional autos. Each to their own preferences.

        The zs used an ancient 4 speed auto 😂

        This car is a disposable appliance, what do you mean you want to "rev through the gears". That's like saying I want to experience the umami flavours of my microwaved steak.

      10 year warranty apparently, drive it 10 years and scrap it seems to be where we are at.

        Why scrap it, these things are built simple and strong, can buy parts from wreckers, so many sold now. Keep it for 20 - 30 years as 2nd car. Unless you are old and won't make it another 20 - 30 years, best to not scrap it and just keep using it until 2055.
