how much effort will go into looking after it? cloth keeps its look for longer though you might argue that when the leather ages a bit, it gains in character - also feel that the cloth surrounds and grips my back better than the leather - you got kids? cloth will have them slipping around a lot less - all that said, your leather does look great....though the cloth is so 'gti' - you don't think the leather removes some of that character?
You could just spec leather and use it normally, but for me at that price I want to look after it, thats just in my nature though. I'm also quite proud washing the car, waxing it and freshening up the interior.
No kids for me thank the lord.
Completely agree, the cloth is definately a trademark GTI feature, but again its wither you want to keep it or not. I've never slipped on the leather either, and as for removing character ? Probably as those cloth seats are what you expect to see in a GTI, but I just thought the leather was classy.
Have you seen a GTI with both, cloth and leather ? If not I'd check it out.
