Leather or cloth

    Leather looks nice and is associated with the quality of years ago  ,when  even in middle range cars leather was the norm and genuine thick leather at that, but today's leather is of very poor quality. In my previous L & K Octavia, it was so thin to be almost like paper. It got split in one place and it was dreadfully thin, not what I would call genuine leather .And it easily gets damaged ( dented ) when rear seats folded down for any length of time, Things ain't what they used to be. It could well be cloth lasts longer than present day leather ones. In a V W Passat Estate they survived well.

Yep, I'm not expecting my seats to last anything like as long as others I've had. They don't feel like quality either. Saw my brother-in-law's new Insignia and the leather in there was much better. (The rest of the interior was like Blackpool illuminations though.)
