Kia Rio - are you sitting comfortably?
Have you heard anything about quality and durability of seat cloth material on the Rio 1.4 L.
My wife's car is now approaching 3 years old and has done about 1500 miles.
The edges of the seats are pilling a bit like a wooly jumper.
The main dealer's salesman says they cure this using a special tool presumably like something for de-pilling jumpers.
Have you any similar reports and what is your opinion of the de-pilling proposal?

1,500 miles is only 500 miles a year. This implies very short runs and a lot of getting in and out of the car. No other reports of this fault. Will add yours to car by car.
