Car Talk / Re: Which Is Better, Leather Seat Vs Cloth? by jumak54(m): 11:07pm On May 16, 2016
Siena:
Leather vs fabric. Which is better? This is a matter of personal preference.
I have a neatly used suv staurn jeep 2004 model but have converted the original engine to Toyota camry engine and gear working perfecgly. But wnt to swap with any good nisan ultima or eod prefarably manual
I will choose leather over fabric, every time. All my cars have leather interiors, even my old Toyota Hilux that came with fabric seats, I tore them out, and threw in a pair of leather sport seats from a 2004 Toyota Celica T Sport. I can't remember when last I owned a fabric-upholstered car.

I would ONLY buy a car with fabric seats, if it was insanely cheap. And I would buy it with a view to swap in leather ASAP.

Leather is definitely easier to maintain, compared to fabric. Have you seen a fabric seat, after a child threw up on it? Or smelt the interior of a fabric-upholstered car, after a milkshake, or even plain milk was spilt on one of the fabric seats? The stench, as the milk is absorbed is bad enough to total a car, the only solution is to junk the offending seat, and replace. Leather? Dirt and spills simply wipe off.

The average Nigeria by nature is lazy, going by their maintenance culture when it comes to an automobile. They see nurturing leather as hard work, citing the Nigerian hot weather as an excuse to avoid leather. Like Texas, lots of the southern states in North America, Dubai, Australia etc don't have hotter climate than Nigeria? How many high-spec cars used in these areas have fabric seats?

Lol. If you like fabric, that's fine. But citing the above sorry excuses as reasons to avoid leather? Nah!
