For many practical reasons I prefer the Leatherette but I think the cloth is more comfortable. (This is a very basic impression form sitting in cars at the dealer)<br>Also, does anyone know if the sports seats are available in both. The new Onyx Ambition is really something too <br>

Sport seats not available in leatherette... I think!

JT

You are right! No leatherette sport seats.

Am I the only one who had a problem with a $30,000+ car with VINYL???

BMW and MB have always only offered "vinyl" as an<br>option to cloth an thier entry level models as well. I had a close look at the Onyx Leatherette on the Audi and found it to be of a very high quality. I didn't care for it in the lighter colours though but I'm not even that fussy on those in the real leather. I also have kids and my job requires me to live on the road at times so its very practicle for me.<p>

i am 1996 with leatherette.<br>On the driver's side my butt (albeit a big butt) has worn the leatherette smooth, and the color has changed to an amorphous plastic look.<p>I have looked at a good sampling of the 1996 with cloth, and they look brand new.<p>as i said before as well:<br>1/ hot in summer-forget shorts unless u have the recaro circulating fans.<p>2/ cold in winter-crank up thoses seat heaters, and freeze for the first minute!<p>3/ the real leather seats are not vented as the leatherette--again shorts will yield sweaty thighs.<p>4/ I agree that leather/ette is supper easy to clean. But don't forget your lexol et al to preserve the surface.<p>5/ i can't STAND the idea of fake leather in a near luxury vehicle. Would u get fake wood?<p>really your choises are leather or cloth, and next time i think i am going cloth (sport seats here i come!!)<br>

Isn't the wood trim not real wood?
