i like leather, the way it looks and feels. The only down side is they get really hot in the sun. cloth doesn't look as good but it does hug you more to the seat than leather. Though if i had to choose between ITR USDM seats or GSR leather seats...ITR USDM seats FTW. GSR leathers vs GSR cloth...GSR leathers FTW.

Leather gets hot or cold, plus you slide around on it.

Cloth is the perfect middle ground, but gets dirty easily if you are not careful.

I'd go with cloth, unless you wanna go for looks.

you do not slide around on leather seats.
they do get hot in the sun, but it's only when you initially sit on them.

they do stay cleaner, but you do need to clean them more often to avoid cracking...well lets not say clean lets say moisturize, remember, you're riding on the flesh of dead animals.

people always say the leather is more comfortable, i've had a set of leathers from a 2000gsr that have gone with every new civic i've purchased. But i'll gladly sell them when i get some nice cloth recaros.

I guess it depends in which car with which grain of leather. You slide around quite a bit in my father's new Vette, but you wouldn't slide so much in his old SAAB 9-5 AERO he used to own.

Default presario

the USDM eg civic cloth seats are horrible if you live where it's hot. They are very hot in the summer and even with the ac they just absorb heat. Maybe its just me anybody? If you park in the sun they just soak it up and after that U can turn on ac but you'll have wet-back. Go with leather

it depends on the situation
and your desired results
a Nice leather seat can be hard too beat
but cloth is always a good option too
