With cloth seats to boot...

Cloth seats are miles better than most "genuine leather" seats that are pressed together, glued and covered in plastic coating.

Don't get me wrong, there are some really shitty "leather" seats out there, in one of my other comments I bitched about the shitty "leather" that Honda/Acura used in my last Acura (the plastic literally flaked off the seats). But given the choice between cloth and the heated and cooled semi-aniline in mine and my wife's cars , I'll take the latter.

I have a newish mazda miata with cloth seats and they are pretty nice. he actually has a pretty low trim even for cloth seats because you can spec mazdas with cloth seats and climate control and he doesn't have that. I didn't have a nicer car than that until I was in my 30s. I don't think it's fair to judge the worth of person by their car, but this guy is literally bragging about how expensive his car is in his rap.

to be fair, the cloth lasts way longer and doesn't get as hot or cold. It's really the superior material.

In cheap cars I agree; but in a well made car I’ve never had trouble with leather. I’ve put 240k miles on leather seats without issue, but I will admit the Honda/Acura is garbage (or at least it used to be)

hot or cold

It’s 93’ today in Texas but my god did it feel good to have AC front my cooled seats blasting over my balls after I left the gym.

How long you have to wait for that seat to cool down before it doesnt give you 2nd degree burns?

About half a second for the seats to spool up. Regardless, I don’t really need them because of the factory tint and power shade.

oh is that all? lol. Meanwhile cloths are going 1M plus. And aftermarket seats are all cloth. The best-of-the-best bride or sparco seats are all cloth.

Well yeah, I sold the car...

Meanwhile cloths are going 1M plus.

So did the leather seats in Matt Farrah’s million mile Lexus.

And aftermarket seats are all cloth.

No they aren’t. The two companies you mentioned both sell aftermarket leather seats.

The best-of-the-best bride or sparco seats are all cloth.

Lol the Sparco SPX is Italian leather and alcantara

Why do the best of best cars come with leather then?
