3 years on my cloth recaros and they still look like the day i got them.

plus i hate when its cold out, leather is cold, and when its 115, the seats are ****ing hot.

looks wise for sure the leather > cloth tho
That's why ventilated seats are for come with leather package
Btw, which is easier to clean wipe down stains leather or cloth? Would be leather right?

The leather in the Evo's really do not get hot at all. I live in Texas and we are having 100 degree days and my seats are not hot when I get in the car. My Eclipse on the other hand is a different story

The cloth in my 08 still looks brand new. I do like that fresh leather look though.

The leather on my 2011 MR, is the kind that will not crack. I condition them once in a wile. From the factory they are nice and soft. They should hold up well, if they are not abused.

I wasn't going to get leather. Heck, only option I wanted was the HIDs.....but when I told the dealer I wanted WW for color, they pulled out an evo with sunroof and leather/aero kit/sight and sound.

Gotta say...very happy I went with leather. As long as you take care of the seats they will be fine. Clean and condition
