I'm going to have to go with Leatherette for durability and ease of cleaning.

Just evened the score at 33 each with Leatherette. Just better for me. I'm 20 and will almost be 21 when I get the car. The extra money for that option can go towards a chip, DPs, or CF.

Have you ridden in a leatherette BMW? It's NOT vinyl. It actually breathes VERY well. I think you'd be surprised. Some even think it's better than leather. I don't actually like BMW leather - the shiny stuff they treat it with doesn't breathe well at all.

My preferences:
1. Cloth and Alcantara like the ZHP (unlikely)
2. If I can't get cloth, then I will get fussy about color and that probably means leather...

Hrmmm...I like Leather, that what we have in the Galant and it's nice...

However, with the way people are talking about the leatherette it sounds nice, and well before we bought the Galant we looked at a Passat, in which the Leatherette was actually nicer then the leather, It was softer, more comfortable, and honestly we thought it WAS the leather until we sat in it with leather.:iono:
