Why I dont like lether:
clamy in heat, slow to warm up, shows wear/cracks over time/ more slick than cloth, much more expensive,

To me leather seem more of a "status" upgrade unless ya have kids or spill things allot its easier to clean thats bout it. And the smell is good)

if i had all money in world for any car it would always be Cloth (but much finer / quality heheh) NO LEATHER

my Z came with lighter leather, I immeadiatly found OEM cloth covers and installed them over the leather, Soo much nicer!!! nice and grippy, dark color hides dirt, no more temp extremes between hot and cold, yet still able to use seat heaters, but havent needed them.

and there removable if i ever get rid of the Z (unlikley)
enjoy!!

Default Leather is better

the leather is easier to clean as well...its 80 degrees today and the seats do breathe well..I will never go back to cloth...

I used to be a cloth guy, thinking they wore better, were less expensive and easier to clean, but only the cost part is true. Leather actually wears better and if you clean/condition them twice a year will look brand new for 10+ years or more. If you spill something, they are pretty much water proof and you can wipe it away easily. Cloth will stain and you're stuck with that. Leather is not as hot as everyone thinks in the Summer and having heated seats in the Winter is always a +. I currently own three cars and all have leather interiors. I won't buy a car without leather anymore.

Default Leather

The leather seats seem so nice with the Z. I wish it was an option for all Z's, as I would have gotten it! Some how, most aftermarket leather covers for the Z seem too puffy and round, when compared to the OEM leather. They are also wrinkly as hell too.

So, any of you want to sell me your leather seats?
