Nissan: 2004 Acura TL Vs. 2004 Infinity G35 Sedan

I like the cloth seats better too, too bad if you want cloth seats in
Canada, you have to go with a base model Acura and then you loose too many
other goodies.
I find it that leather requires all that maintenance (oiling and such) but
with cloth, I never had to do anything as long as you don't spill drinks in
there, you are all fine, keep in mind I have no kids, so for a family the
opposite must be true, with leather just wipe it off and you are good to go.

My two cents, anyway.

its sort of a give/take with leather and cloth.
pros for leather
-durable
-form fitting
-breathable
-odor resistant
-stain resistant(darker colors)
cons
-maintenance(some use vinyl also which is easy to take care of)
-temperature control(too cold/too hot)
-wear(if not treated)
-secure seating(with crap leather)

pros for cloth(most are acrylic now)
-cheaper
-stays temperate
-snug seating
cons
-wear(not reversible)
-retains odor/stains
-not as breathable(especially when hot)
-get it wet and pay the price

i agree that cloth is nice for some situations but in the long term
good leather is better.

As Motor Trend so elegently put it: "The TL is the Ultimate Accord".
Those of us who want to impress _AND_ have the better driving experience
get the G.

And they trap hairs and such easier and are a PITA to keep clean. (for
those of us with dogs)

I had leather, then cloth (and hated it) and am back to leather and will
_NEVER_ go back to cloth. It's just too easy to wipe a spill away and
be done with it. Or just vaccuum up the doghair.

Before buying my 04 TL I considered the G35. There's no doubt in my
mind that the G35 has better vehicle dynamics. I just couldn't get past
the excessive use of shiny, hard plastic in the interior. Do I weigh
interior finish more heavily than how a car handles? No, but there is a
limit. I'll be very interested to see how the rumors of a face lift to
the G35 interior pan out.
