I’m currently browsing AT for a car for my wife - 5 door small hatchback, petrol, up to 6 years old, with a decent sized boot, up to £10,000 and would really really like a leather interior. She’s messy in the car and with 2 kids and a dog it just makes my life sooo much easier as I’ll be the one cleaning it.

Cars I’ve been looking at - Honda Jazz, Seat Leon estate, Skoda Fabia estate.

Are there any cars that fit the bill that come with a trim level that includes leather?

Cheers, but they’re all in excess of the £10k budget, unless they’ve done big miles.

I suspect almost anything. We used to have a Ford Focus that had leather

I suspect the Alfa Mito and Guiliettas can be had in leather. My 147 was leather and that was a generation before them cars.

Mito can, so I'd assume most cars can be had in leather.

Sorry, didn't see 5 door. Guiliettas definitely come in leather as well.

How do you do that? If I put leather seats in the keyword search , it gets tripped by leather steering wheel and 5 seats and the majority of results don’t actually have full leather interiors.

Look for the trim name, e.g. Milano leather in an A3 (which is exactly the car I chose with similar needs).

Vauxhall Astra. 3-4 years old in budget in Elite spec.

Example from a dealer so comes with warranty, private probably cheaper.

Use the term “leather seats” and then it won’t separate the words

Sorry, that doesn’t work either. Of the first 13 results (price low to high) only 1 had leather seats, I gave up after that. I’m not being an arse, i would love to be able to search for that term, but it’s just never worked for me. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that it’s not a searchable feature on AT.

Does searching “leather seats” work when you do it?

It’s why I asked if there were certain trim levels that had leather as standard, as that’s a searchable term. Which works for the Astra Elite suggestion above (thank you). It’s infuriating having spend hours looking through hundreds of ads just to find a handful with leather.

I leased one for 2 years, purely as it was cheap. It was a 1.2 dsg and I feared it would be awful.

It was exactly the opposite, rode well, quick enough as a family wagon, plenty of space without being difficult to park, typical vw build quality.
