Leather orrr???

[Lenie]

I've been researching leather for my interior and was wondering what to go with, leather or ultraleather? So, I'm thinking, what are the pros and cons of both? Those of you that have either or have used both in the past, lets hear your opinions.:spank2: :hand:

I have used the factory vynil sea covers for other old Moars I have done and always make leather a must in any of the newer cars I've bought. I am planning to do leather, naturally, for my 'cuda.
I personally stay away from anything that will soak up spilled drinks, baby messes, or any of the sort.
The Corbeau LG1's I am looking at come in a micro-suede that I hope is liquid resistant as leather. Afterall, leather, pleather, vynil and the like can be a scoarcher.
I would like the micro suede but I have always thought leather was a no-brainer. I will have to hear from Corbeau or a dealer that the micro will be as odor and liquid resistant as leather, those of which are the main advantages to me. Not getting my butt and legs burned on a hot sunny day would be nice though.

I've had both real leather seats and simulated leather or "leatherette" as they call it in BMWs. I'm not sure what "ultraleather" is, but I'm assuming it is a vinyl based simulated leather.

I have real leather Recaro seats in my '67 Camaro, and they are very nice and fairly soft. They are also delicate, and you have to be careful to avoid scratching the leather. The car is always garaged and is not driven daily, so it's not a big deal. I am also very careful with my seats and don't have any kids crawling around my interior.

I have "leatherette" sport seats in my daily driver BMW 335i. I purposely ordered this car with leatherette instead of real leather for a couple reasons. The main reason is that the leatherette is much more durable. It does not scratch, crack or wear like leather does. This is even more important if you have a "sport" seat with aggressive bolsters that people rub when entering/exiting the car. I also had leatherette seats in my last BMW, which was a '99 328i. My mother now drives that car, and the seats still look brand new. The other factor was cost, and the leatherette was a good amount less $$$. I put that money towards a few other options I'd rather have.
