Got cloth myself, true pov pack.

Both cars I had leather the front seat lumbar (where you slide in and out of the seat) wore quickly because of friction and the seat belt and became ugly. Maybe it's the quality but it is what it is. I've had both and prefer cloth now. I had leather in the AU II8 and the BA II 8 and I'd prefer to spend the premium for leather on other go quick stuff or other options. Use cloth protection every 3 months or so and it will look good for ages. Leather is definately good if you have young kids. No argue there.

If you spill s#!t on it just wipe it clean. And clean it properly once a month with good leather cleaner and treatment. Only down side could cook a egg on it on a +40 day get a seat throw over.

Prefer fabric for comfort but leather for ease of care. I look after my cars, kids make a mess, leather cleans easy but there's a wealth of cleaning products these days but no replacement for looking after it . Edited 07/11/13 10:16 AM by rab 1
