    Just wondering about the majority of preference of interior materials.
    Velour
    Leather
    Tweed
    or
    Suede

    Doesn't matter what the reason for it being your favourite. Be it feel, look or <Insert 3rd reason for favouring one material over another here>

    Obviously I'm considering getting my interior done, don't know when though :p
    Personally I'd say it's an interesting poll :p

    Yeah I'm all about the leather, but for practicality without too much of a tradeoff for looks it'd be suede all the way :p
    (I voted for leather though, looks way too awesome ;D)

    I got it done in real leather (ie not "leatherette" like you see on ebay etc).

    All class.

    Leather is great IF you have the worlds best Aircon, its sweaty and disgusting otherwise. Suede or Alcantra.

    Suede is good because it is so easy to keep clean. A bit of foaming interior cleaner can get greasy finger stains out in a few seconds.:)

    Benny_C About as subtle as...

    I've had leather, i've had tweed and i've now got Velour.
    Velour FTW. :zlove:
    I'm not sure why people would even consider leather FTW..? It really is shit. Cold in winter, hot and sweatty in summer and poor accoustics with a good stereo.

    I'd say Suede would come a close second :)

    Personally i'd say Velour FTW because leather as we know is cold in winter hot in summer and suede is good but it its always gets the marks on it from whenever u touch it.

    There are completely different uses to different parts of the interior so it should not all be the same.

    Seats you sit on, trim on doors and panels need to be pretty to look at and take a little bit of abuse. Floor takes a lot of abuse.

    For seats leather, velour or a combo 'half leather' with velour in the middle like in newer cars. Absence of leather means 'cheap'

    Rest of the trim a velour like material - color matching is most important. Vinyl looks cheap. Leather is overdoing it.

    Tweed is horrible, vinyl is OK for the back of the seats but nowhere else. Suede always looks dirty. Leatherette drops the value of the car by $1K in my mind.
