thoughts on non leather

[Gene Hunt.]

I got an '08 which came with leather as standard so I had no choice. I take everyone's points about the advantages of cloth and I generally prefer cloth if available, but to me the tartan effect in the GTi has a cheap chavvy Burberry thing going on. Hate it.

....Yes, VW dumped the GTI-iconic Interlagos option in later production except in the Ed30.

If you think that the Mk5 cloth looks chavvy, then what do you think of the Mk6 cloth!?







^ Edition 30 ^

..........both are spot on for me.

1 BILLION% prefere the interlagos cloth!! VW leather is cr@p, interlagos cloth is paying homage to the gti and looks stunning compared to leather!

im glad the interlagos was not available towards the end of the mk5 run as it makes it more limited

What I dont get if VW leather is crap, why did they charge more for it?  plus Cloth is more easy to stain!, and if its so great why dont they make the stearing wheel in cloth then

Expect to pay a lot more for quality leather then what VW charge, leather option by default has always been classed as an upgrade and therefore charged for accordingly.

I love the interlagos interior. Prefer it to leather - cold in winter, hot in summer...
