No it's free leather.

Mind you, I'm not sure what sort of animal a 'free' is  :undecided:

I think it is a shame and a mistake that VW have stopped the supply of the GTI with Jacara.  :sad:
Don't care what they do with the other models.  :evil:

VW must be trying to get rid of stocks of their cheap and nasty plastic leather. :evil:

No way will I ever buy a car with leather as it always looks sh1t eventually.

It's weird, this Golf anti-leather thing that's going on.  My leather isnt plastic feeling, or cheap looking. I clean it and condition it every time I detail the car.

The leather is supple, granted not as supple as top end German cars and the Jag XF but it's not as bad a people make out IMO.  I bought my car second-hand and would never have paid that much for the option.

Martin:

Just look at the puckering on your driver's seat in your signature and the wearing seat bolsters.

Very classy?  :rolleyes:

Oh .....  :kiss:

Jacara cloth is what adds class to the cabin. 

It is iconic and looks very smart.

Black VW leather  :sick:

Every motor magazine review of the Mk6 GTI has totally favoured the Jacara Cloth seats over the leatherette ones.

IMHO

No matter how you dress it up.

No matter what fancy names they call it.

It's tartan, it falls apart and it's sh1t.

Just my 2p's worth  :wink:
