    How much did that cost you? Or did you buy it like that? I've always been a fan of leathr and have considered getting the interior done. Wish they had limited wrxs back in 03...

    I hate leather. I hate the smell. I hate how hard it is to keep clean, and I hate the way you skins sticks to it in the summer when it is hot out. I will never, ever, ever buy a car that has Leather interior.

    420, leather is so much easier to clean than cloth. You can just wipe any spill up, you just need to keep up with shampooing it or the seats will start to smell funky.

    Yeah, it's pretty hard to stain leather where as cloth it's no problem. Also I think it smells way better than cloth seats. Cloth seats just absorb ever smell, or at least it seems like that to me.

    For certain car applications (read: not my STi or my previous WRX), the feeling of a high quality leather seat (like those in my wife's Lexus) is beyond anything a cloth seat can offer. You balance the cold of the winter with heated seats and the hot and sticky aspects of leater in the summer with ventilated seats. Both work well. And, Bobby is right, leather is much easier to clean then cloth. Why do you think police cars are outfitted with vinyl or leatherette/leather? Not because it's more comfortable for the dudes in the back. ;)

    I remember when I first moved down here and visited SOG...a bunch of the WRX's had leather. Living in NJ, I never saw that before. It's a nice touch. Glad you're digging it josh! :bigthumb:
