    Leather... Hot or not ?

    Looking at getting a ST-L or TI with leather trim. From what I can gather, I got 2 colour choices, black and the lighter grey. There are more black on the market, so do you think black would be much much hotter in summer, or just a tad hotter.
    I know from experience vinal is hot no matter what colour.
    What about Leather ?

    I had black leather in me old XTrail, it did get a little warm but not so hot that it would burn your back side or anything, never had an issue with them and nice and easy to keep clean

    I had black leather in my Honda and wasn't too bad. Hot but not burning hot. I got the windows tinted, just standard legal tint and it made a big difference

    And as said above easy cleaning!

    I didn't have any probs with the grey, think black would only be a tad hotter, Just try and keep it out of direct sunlight.....if you go leather just make sure you keep the leather shampoo / conditioner up 2 it or it will crack.....split and turn 2 crap.........just like mine did

    We'll be the judge of that. Your post is pointless without pics.

    not sure where you are from luxo barge or whether you are quite as old as me, but 'taking the p1ss' for me means are you stirring/teasing me in a way that makes me look bad, but in a friendly way. In my circles we don't usually charge for this service :-)

    And just to make sure, if I caused offence, I apologise, and no, I'm not taking the p1ss. :-)
