Leather v Cloth

[VWKev]

I have leather seats in my current car which is now two and a half years old. I fed them regular with a clean and feed treatment so they still look good. Though the driver’s seat has slight sag on it.
It takes a few moments before the heat comes through the seat until then its bloody freezing sitting on them just now. On hot days your back does tend to sweat.

I would never get leather seats again plus I think the tartan seats look absolutely brilliant in GTI form and blend in well with all the red stitching on the steering wheel and gear lever. Brings back memories of happy motoring in a Mark 2 GTI.

I agree with you on every point. 
Cloth: the SENSIBLE choice.

I agree too, Cloth: the CHEAP MANS SENSIBLE choice

Now that is cheap!
Cloth is good, leather is bad, I am cheap!
Kev, you were right this time!

I really do not understand that leather is suddenly the thing NOT to get on the GTI..

Okay reasons pointing to (some) aspects of discomfort that is a bit harder to disagree since we all look different towards our comfort-priorities...but reasons like it is a gay thing to have...uhh..tell that to Schumacher in his Ferrari (Mercedes) or to all sportscarmakers......now really 

And as for the reason that it looks more like the original I would say ...buy the original...(maybe wayback they did have leather options...anyone ).

To be honest one of the points I disliked buying the MK6 car WAS the cloth....I find the cloth on the MK5 very nice but on the MK6 the pattern is different and on the seat it is not flanked on 3 sides with grey anymore so now the whole thing reminds me of a tea-towel....OMG  I've made enemies now....

You've guessed leather for me

Question for all of you with a leather fetish - do you get electric lumbar adjustment, and is it on both front seats?
