Which do you prefer? Cloth or leather?

What part? Driving around with no top or doors when it's 108⁰ and pretending you aren't hot and miserable? Or not being mildly uncomfortable for a minute or 2 when you 1st get in when you parked in the direct sun? Or is more comfortable in your mini skirt or booty shorts? The easier cleanup outweighs all of those "advantages".
Mini skirt or booty shorts 😂 who wears those . I just go in the buff. 😂😂

Geesh Now I didn't ever get ya rattled ...lol . Cloth is just easier to care for . But leather is nice too but it takes more care. I can take a clean rag a bowl of hot water and some soap and clean my seats and not worry about a thing.
Done it several times.

That somehow just seems like an oxymoron to me .... leather and manual. In my mind, sort of like a Bose stereo system with a softtop.

But then, maybe it's just me.

everything electrical - eventually quits. My 2001 dodge has one of the five seat adjustments working…you’ll figure it out…maybe?

Yet when you sell a sports car with leather and a manual, it's more acceptable.

And to be fair, Bose with a soft top would make sense as well since you'd need to have louder speakers to overcome the deafening wind noise of the covered wagon you just bought.

Just me though 😄

I have leather, but prefer cloth, sliding back and forth in corners is not my cup of tea!!
I need to find a good set of set covers that will still let me use my seat heaters....
OR!!!!! Some cheap heated Mojave seats.

Leather....100%. Can Mojave still be had with the white leather? Wish I had that.
Love my light grey leather seats in the Mojave. One of the main reasons I went Mojave over Rubicon. Now had I realized Katskins (sp?) were as nice as they are I might have gone the other way. But I love the orange ascents, hood, and the ride too!! But I think the leather option also gives you other nice trim details and features that cloth may not. YMMV

No sliding around on my light grey Mojave leather seats, they keep you planted in place. It is a high speed desert racer after all!!! LOL

I know. Was referring to older Mojaves which could get black or white leather. Hell...maybe the white was only in cloth. It was cool.
White was really a light grey in leather, very cool look and great for the summers and other times of the year with the top off or on to keep things cooler.

I was looking for leather but for different reasons I wound up with the gray cloth with yellow stitching and it’s ok. I think the leather seats have a little more comfort.

I like the leather option because it gets you the back seat fold down center arm rest and drink holder. To date, I have not seen any cloth interiors that have this feature.

The tan leather seats also gave you the metallic grey interior panels, instead of the gaudy looking crimson red

To date no one has ever rode in the back seat since 2021.

Yes, I don't sit in the back seat and when someone wants something to drink they can keep the cans between their legs. They won't know the difference after a couple of cans anyway.
