It's.......... Cages are winter items for me. In summer i drive trucks for work, and ride a mc any other time.
NH and Ca are worlds apart in weather. My Volvo isn't exactly cutting edge either. The engine on my bike is almost that big. The bike has vinal seats and my leathers tend to stick to that, which seems fitting somehow.
That old beater volvo does grab me by my junk and hold it there pretty good, but i am kinda narrow.
'Bout the time any cornering happens I get a sharp pain in my neck or upside my head anyway. That will be my Bride telling me to knock it off.
Never had leather but my gf has leather and she smokes like a chimney and the car always smells new. Her car is an 01, mine is an 08 and mine feels old already. I like leather. Also like how ya just slide into the car
How long does leather interior last vs cloth? What do you prefer, cloth or leather and why?
I much prefer cloth in the northern climes where I live. Leather seats are freezing-ass cold in winter before the car warms up or before the seat warmers kick in. And unfortunately, the driver's side seat warmer is broken in my Saab. Leather seats are supposedly more durable but in the Saab it has cracks and what-not all over while in the Volkswagen it's holding up a lot better. I suspect the Saab is real leather whereas in the Volkswagen it's almost certainly synthetic -- and more durable.
Not only that but I cannot tell you how many times I've seen cars for sale with all vinyl seats that are passed off as leather.
yup seen that a million times to. Even old classics like the late 60's GTO. I can't tell you how many times people sell these and in the ad they claim leather seats. Umm no. Vinyl, baby!.... Actually, morrichide, as GM called it in the GTO's

sorry but NO WAY will a heavy smoker in a car for almost 10 years be able to claim its still smells new. Maybe like a new ashtray

Actually leather interiors don't absorb odors like cloth interiors do. I quit smoking some time ago but when I had my 1995 Nissan 300ZX no one could tell someone smoked in it the following day even after years of smoking.
Leather 2000 Lincoln LS. The thing I miss is heated seats. For cleanup and comfort Leather. In my pickups I like Vinyl or leather.
