Default Seats

Ok, as some of you have read in previous posts. I am in the process of buying a brand new 07 GT Vert Mustang. I'm torn between the leather seats and the cloth. I can't decide which is more practical for a summer only car that is going to have the top down most of the time.

A few things going on in my head:

1.) Test drove cars withboth, cloth seemed more soft and comfortable
2.) The leather sport buckets look nicer to me with the top down.
3.) Cloth is cheaper and Leather requires other extras that raise the cost.
4.) Will Leather crack and colorfade with all the sun?

Any opinons of both would be great. I'm trying to get this vehicle as soon as possible, but I don't want to rush into it. I'm trying to get all of my questions awnsered first.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Go with the leather, you won't regret it. Very easy to take care of and most of all keep clean.

Red leather in a vert will look bad *** and will probably hold value better. Cloth is better in the sun. You wont burn when you sit in it after it's been baking in the sun, and your skin will breathe easier against cloth, so you wont sweat so much at high noon. But leather is easier to clean, looks better, and is worth more later.

I pull a t-shirt over my leather seat back in summer to keep from sweating against it. Once a week I throw it in the wash.
