I don't like leather either. For the same reasons you stated! Too hot and sticky in the heat and too cold in the winter. I can deal with the cold..but can't stand it when you have to peel yourself out of the seat and end up leaving behind a nice sweaty spot on the seat..not to mention you just look like you peed your pants. No leather for me.

Not necessarily, but I do agree with you that it's leather or NOTHING.

Have had both cloth and leather in my cars........Leather all the way!

Don't like cloth...after a while it starts to hold odors and then frankly, the car doesn't smell as nice. Leather is just way easier to keep clean and I live in Florida where it's hot and don't have a problem with the seats being too hot or too cold.

Oh yeah, and I'm a girl

I love my leather, they are heated in the winter and most important when I get out of the car in the winter I don't get shocked!!! I hate that!! The only thing that would be better is if the seats had air coolers in them for summer, the lady I work with has a ford F150 truck that has air cooled leather seats!!! Why can't we???

So far most girls hate it for that exact reason!

Now before you say "Get what YOU want and not what the girls like" I will get what i prefer regardless of what a girl says. I'm just asking out of curiosity. Do the females you know not like leather seats?

PS- These girls I've been talking to are in the 19-25 range. And i live in VA Beach.
My wife is 40, still smokin hot and doesn't like to sit on anything that's not leather.

LEATHER

Everytime I purchase a car leather is the second option on my list I live in Wisconsin and I enjoy the heated leather seats I also enjoy leather because if you spill something you can wipe it off without staining. I also own black leather furniture which I fine way more comfy than non leather furniture

I bought cloth for 2 reasons.. 1, I hadn't gotten the money to upgrade to a 2LT at the time... and I REALLY wanted the camaro RIGHT THEN! Secondly, as some have stated... the temperature can change it a lot, too hot or too cold. I don't want to wear shorts in hot weather and SWEAT all over the LEATHER! All STICKY! =O!!

So yeah, I prefer cloth lol. The thing about leather is, when you go into a Car w/o leahter, you won't MISS the leather... but when you have leather, you can't go without it, you won't complain about it lol. Thats just my thoughts
