If you get cloth in a Ford make sure it's black. The light colors stain like crazy.

I've had both in drop tops and because of simple clean up I vastly prefer leather. I've also got long haired dogs. It's a major PIA to get the hair out of and off of cloth seats. With leather it wipes right off.

 

Yup, having my seats redone in cloth.

 

Had the same and really liked them. Would do cloth again.

 

The CR's came with alacantra fabric seats. I haven't had any problem with mine, infact I prefer them over the seats in the AP1 and AP2.
I suppose it matters a lot on the climate of where you live.. they both have their trade-offs.

 

Leather looks like shit after a few years. I have seen plenty of S2000's with 30-40k miles with major leather wear.

 

Biggest reason I bought myself some cr seats. After my first year of owning my S with the oem leather seats I was done with leather. No regrets whatsoever. Plus my oem hardtop rarely comes off.
