Just bored, thought id take a lil poll on who prefers leather over clothe.

I think Leather looks better but Cloth is far more comfortable N keeps you from sweatin in the summer when the damn leather seats heat up.

I like the cloth. You slide around more on leather when driving hard on the track.

Frost leather seats FTW! I would agree though if I had black leather seats.

Yep Cloth FTW. Only time I would ever have leather is on the sides with alcantara in the middle. Leather is hot in the summer and freeeezing in winter. It is easy to clean.....but I don't carry the dog in it or window lickers.

This thread is funny. Leather is better by far. If its hot. Turn the AC on. Problem solved. If its cold. Guess what Heated Seats ftw. Looks better and more classier.

I live in South Texas and I wouldn't have it any other way than LEATHER. Cloth is cheap IMO. I don't sweat all over my seats and it's 100 degrees here almost everyday during the summer.

Uhh ... Most roadster owners will disagree with you on that one. If you still want to ride with the top down when it's kinda chilly, heated leather seats are the best way to keep warm.

move to arizona and say that. AC doesnt do anything at all, full blast AC just blows the hot air at yer face. and when you drive towards the sun the heat from the windshield warms the air right as it comes outta the vents.

leather feels nice....never felt the Z leather before. cloth = grippy. my cigarette burns would look much worse if i had leather.

Fabric is much better than seats covered in leather.

Cost
Fabric is usually less costly.

Utility
Quality fabric provides more friction and holds you in place better than leather.

Comfort
Leather has a higher density and does not have the “air” insulation that fabric provides. Leather feels colder in the winter and hotter in the summer.
