	i can see going with cloth in heat.  i had cloth in my 2000
and it was fine, but i went leather with my new one.

	i have to have quattro, for snow driving.  and it makes the
car really tossable too.  i've found ESP only to suck for fun/spirited
driving, if not making things a little dangerous.  i usually turn it
