Yeah I prefer leather, but mainly for the ability to clean it, because kids being kids tend to spill things, and it is a whole lot easier to clean leather then cloth. When you leave it in a spot where the sun can shine directly on the seats, (mainly the front ones as the back windows are anodised, well most of them are ) anyway when the suns shines directly on it yeah it gets hot, but I hardly ever do, and if I have to I do leave a sunshade across the windscreen and only once has my wife jumped in and said that the seats were hot, not hot enough for her to jump off it but, and in rockhampton it gets HOT.
The black leather also seamlessly melds in with the other black bits of the interior and my door trim, so it all just looks a lot more proffessional then the cloth in my opinion.
Although when I sat in Robs RIP beast I found that the cloth seats dont seem as flat as the leather ones on the back and the leather didnt seem to have the "bouncyness" on the bottom that my leather did...........?
