Default Alcantara Seat

Today my dealer called me and informed me he found a S4, to the dime of what i wanted, prestige, Rear diff, but then told me it had black Alcantara. the ext color is Brilliant Black, but regardless do you think these seats are a reason not to take it?

I ordered mine with the Alcantara seats. they are a VERY popular choice. The leather feels pretty cheap IMO.

No, Alcantara is more grippy AND more durable. I love mine they are over a year old and look new still with over 15K miles driven. I would have paid the 1K extra for these over the leather.

I like the Alcantara much more than the leather. 15K miles and it looks like new. Feels great too!
