Cloth VS. Leather seats
« on: 24 July 2010, 12:28 »
Hi All,

I just got a mk5 GTi with cloth interior. My mate said that people only real want the leather interior on GTi’s.

As you all are GTi people: is it not worth getting cloth intrior?
Also anyone ever changed their seats from cloth to leather?

Thanks loads for your input!

personally i perfer the cloth seats, they dont stick in the summer is the main bonus. think its just down to personal opinion mate. clot seats tend to wear much better than leather seats aswell!

I like cloth seats too. They don't get sticky in summer or freezing cold in winter, plus you get the GTI tartan pattern  :cool: In terms of comfort I've never felt any difference between mk5 cloth and leather.

Half leather is the best of both world in my opinion.  The leather looks nicer and being half you don't. Stick to it in the summer as others above have said

btw leather lasts as long if not Longer if it's looked after properly

Alcantara and leather would be my choice if I didn't have the Edition 30 seats.

I've had full leather on my last Golf MKV and I can say I'd never go back to full leather again. Sticky and hot in summer and freeeeeezing cold in winter - then you stick the heated seats on and you are sticky again :sad:
