I believe leather was standard and cloth was a factory fit option whereas now, its generally the other way about....

I actually really, really like Elite cloth, its better than normal spec, its more supportive somehow.

TB's tractor had it and JoshW's Elite, given the option i'd have that over leather personally.

I got one of both. I agree the velour is far better than the leather. The heating elements don't seem to break as easily on the vel;our either.

looks as though the one with leather will be our main car. I am not looking forward to the summer heat here and leather!! As the heated seats don't work passengers have to use a blanket to insulate them from the cold of the seat. No such probs with velour.

Elite cloth I find to be much, much, much nicer than Elite leather.

Forgeting its comfort factor, its cool in summer, and warm in winter.


3.0 and 3.2 Elites had leather as standard, with cloth being a no cost option.

I prefer leather for the dogs - much easier to clean off the fur and the paw prints.
Unless your pets like to scratch I suppose.

Not so much your pets scratching, but more the leather gets scratched by claws as gogs etc jump on them.

Yep the DTi Elite's have cloth as well. Has been good this winter, however, if someone came along with late (mat) facelift Elite leather i'd contemplate it  ::) :y
