Hate cloth LOVE leather upholstery, easy to keep clean, (wipe off normally........) more comfortable on longer journeys IMO and looks soooo much more luxury.

I think that
If you stand out side the car looking in through the door,leather makes it look that wee bit better....

But cloth is easier to live with,its not freezing in the morning or red hot in the summer, and if you are thin built like myself,your backside doesn't slide about on the cloth! ;D ;D

Cloth is my preference, though both my omegas are leather

I really detest prefacelift non-sports leather with a passion.

My new one is sports leather, came from cloth.

gotta say I think these seats are the comfiest (so far)

but thats me, sat firmly in the seat.

smaller people slide and are not as comfy.

give the choice, would be cloth MV6 seats for me  :y

I have done some big miles in my mv6 with sports leather, no aches or pains. But desperately uncomfy to sleep in when you can't find your hotel and end up in a lay-by

I prefer cloth seats; the dark charcoal of mini facelifts is particularly nice. Not so keen on the light colours and no lover of posh plastic  :P

I do like the seats in the reflection model though  :-X

Non-sports leather I find to offer no support at all when "pressing on". Combination of the seat being very flat and the surface being slippery. Hence when I got into an MV6 with cloth sports seats after test driving an Elite with leather I knew which car was for me.

Sports leather might have been nicer still, I suppose, but, on the other hand, cloth is more practical for me as the back seats are more likely to get junk piled on them than people sitting in them.

Blimey. Never been a lover of leather seats in Britain. We spent ages looking for a light cloth interior. Ext colour doesn't matter so much as you can't see it from inside.

Now in Spain, I cannot imagine having a car with leather. It would be most uncomfortable!!

I know someone with the same colour Elite velour as the leather in KL who'd swap for leather and give some cash aswell  ::)

Personal preference for me is leather, a well kept leather interior does smell lovely.
