I went leather. Was easy decision. My current car has leather and I love it. Its four years old and looks brand new. Feels great to sit in. So easy to clean. I also think it looks way better too. Makes the interior look like a merc, I know the tartan is important to original GTI connoisseurs but I never owned a previous model of GTI so to me it just seems like a car with a weird looking interior. Its like it makes the cabin too busy or cluttered.
Personal taste.
Err, no.
Its VW leather. Different class of cow.
And as for busy and cluttered - VW don't do busy and cluttered! They do restrained.
Still it's nice that we have the choice.
I've got leather now. I quite like it. But prefer the cloth.
Interesting that although the GTI has been in production for about 300 years that there are still people buying their first GTI (and I don't mean 18 year olds buying knackered mk4s).
I guess it offsets the previous owners that jumped ship to BMW after gouging their eyes out with hot pokers...
