Ascent Cloth Seat Durability/Cleanliness After an unnecessary amount of research, test driving tons of competitors, making spreadsheets, this great sub, etc., I have finally convinced myself I do in fact want an Ascent. But lets be real we were already a Subaru family, so it was really a foregone conclusion that the Forester was going to become an Ascent.

For us this car is going to be a kid hauler, dog transporter, camping, hunting, and backpacking enabler. While I know it will get beat up and dirty, I’d still like to have some ability to clean it reasonably well.

I’m curious what others’ experiences have been with the cloth interior.

1) Does it hold up well?
2) Any semblance of stain resistance?
3) Easy to clean with a fabric/carpet type cleaner or steam cleaner?

...I know seat covers exist, but I don’t know ,I just don’t love em.
