Leather vs. Cloth Interiors: The Eternal Debate

As long as people have been driving, they’ve debated the merits of leather vs. cloth interiors. Besides budget, the choice comes down to how you’ll use the car.

Of course you can’t beat the look, feel, and smell of leather; but it does add to the price, and you might not want the maintenance required to keep it looking brand-new. A leather interior is sure to dazzle passengers, however, and it’s a major plus to resale value. 

Cloth, on the other hand, is known for comfort. Unlike leather, it doesn’t stick, burn, or get too cold. Though every new cloth interior is resistant to stains and odors, cleaning can be tough.

As with almost everything else, the leather/cloth debate is a matter of taste and your pocketbook. Be honest about both, and enjoy the ride.
