Never been a fan of leather upholstery. Being an awkward combination of perfectionist and high-mileage user, I've found I can keep quality cloth seats looking new with 100,000 miles on the clock, but regardless of treatments, hide-foods and careful usage, leather shows its age sooner. Also dislike the way tasty looking, silky-finish black leather ends up looking like some over-polished tart's PVC handbag. It's not a blind bias though, for sheer beauty I admire the look of ivory leather in something exotic, particularly when the exterior colour works well with it, but for practical reasons, owning a car with leather upholstery is less attractive to me personally.
"How about this?" Asked my wife of the half-leather seating in the Accord we were test-driving, "The leather looks nice but the cloth is on the part which takes the wear." She's a helpful, thoughtful person. I'm a twisted old meany however, "Hate it!" I said, "Can't think of anything worse. Think of the ugliest patterend cloth imaginable then make it worse with pointless leather side bits."
Couple of days later I've bought a Mazda 6 Sport with the prettiest half-leather, half cloth I've ever seen. I'm not saying I wouldn't prefer the outer edges to also be cloth, but the cloth part is spectacular and the leather bits work well. That'll teach me to rant.
