If you treat leather with some care, it will hold up. I have a 13 year old car to prove it.

The cloth interior on the 1SS is pretty nice, though. I wouldn't hesitate to own that.

I've had cars with cloth interiors for years that didn't stink, but then again, I shower daily, use deoderant, and don't eat or fart in my car.

Cloth = it feels more comfortable for me, you dont get sweaty or too cold when temperature changes drastically

Leather= I hate sliding around the seats, my butt seems to move around under heavy acceleration and hard steering. and you have to heat it up before you seat in it during the winter or youll freeze your balls off! haha. Well besides all this leather still makes the car look cleaner and its easier to clean too.

this is my own experience between the two so yeah. . . I'm still dreaming when can I afford a cloth center buckets with leather trims, diamond stitching would be really nice!

your right..my wife has had 2 back surgeries and one neck surgery..the 2ss leather seats are the only seat she can sit in that doesnt bother her...and i also think they could be the best sits ive had in a car

I dont care for leather,I just wish you could get HUD without leather.

2011 SS SLP ZL427 · 03-25-2013, 08:45 AM

Thats the one thing I wish my car had was HUD but I saw a few threads on here in order to add that option it requires ripping out the dash cutting the existing dash or buying a new one with the HUD option not to mention replacing the windshield because theres a special area inside the HUD windshield that projects a clear image to you verses a blurry one with the NON-HUD windshield, I wouldnt want to tear my car apart just to have it and have to change the windshield and end up with a leak or something its not worth it to me but thats just my opinion.

I just had to have this interior. It plus the wheels are the things that garner me the most praise on my car.
