I'm just starting to wonder if I'm the only GT owner here that got the cloth instead of the extra cost leather (and vinyl). :scratch:

My 99 had the leather, and I loved it... so, I went with it again.

06 GT with leather. I've always wanted leather in my car. This is my very first car completely on my own, so I get to pick exactly what I want...=)

Dave, I got cloth too. I like leather though, so I think I'm going to get leather (fake leather) seat covers on the front. When I heard the leather included on the Mustangs were fake leather in the back, I couldn't justify going leather. I saw some Type S (cheapo brand?) faux leather seat covers that looked ok at pep boys. I think I'm going to try those if I actually get my car this century.

Torch Red w/ gray cloth. I originally wanted L. Lime or Mineral gray with Parchment cloth. But then i saw this one. I actually wanted cloth this time around because I like the horsey cloth pattern ;-)

Thats not necessarily true. I had my 99 GT for 6 years, and you can see by the pics in my sig, the leather held up REALLY well.

As with anything, as long as you take care of it, it will last as long as you need it to.

I went with cloth. I love the look of leather, but it gets WAY too hot on the light grey interior of my Honda so I couldn't even imagine what dark charcoal would have been like. I am however pondering installing Katzkin heated/cooled leather seats later.

As for holding up, the Honda is ten years old and aside from two minor rips the leather in the car looks great.

I finally saw a GT w/ the cloth, and thought it was very nice. I didn't get to sit in it, so I can't comment on that, but from about 20 ft. I thought it was leather. As I got up close I realized it was cloth and that it looked good.

I have the ICAP red leather, you need a seperate selection for that on the poll, it is the same for the GT and the V6.

I got cloth because dogs and leather seats DO NOT go together well. And of course, the cloth seats are cheaper. Mostly though, I got them because of the dogs. -Marci
