cloth or leather interior?

Just wondering how many other 1st gen CL owners have cloth in their CLs. My '98 2.3 auto is actually the only CL I've seen with cloth.

Mine has cloth. I like cloth. Doesn't get ridiculously hot, sticky, or rip like leather, and its plush. The leather they put into the CLs is like 75% vinyl anyway. Guess it really boils down to personal preference though.

It looks nicer than cloth but other than that, why is it better?

First car with pleather that I've owned and I'm not a huge fan of it. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter, looks like ass when the wrinkles set in, etc.

It looks better, easier to clean.

Get tinted windows and those sun shades and the sits won't be burning hot.

I've noticed that cloth seats are more smelly, especially if you smoke. For some reason the smoke stays in the cloth seats while with leather it just airs off.
