Are leather seats worth it? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I know they are easier to clean, but I am debating the 2LT and the 1LT right now. Anybody have a list of pro's and con's? I would appreciate it.

EDIT: I actually meant 2LT and 1LT. Sorry

Spend the extra and go for the leather. I love the smell and feel of it compared to cloth. Also the heated seat feature is a big plus!!! As far as the 1SS, I don;t think they come with the console gauage package either. I know thats the way it is on the 1LT vs the 2LT. IMO the leather interior just makes the interior look way more sporty. Hope this helps.

I love my leather seats, so I would have to say yes. The USB port, Bluetooth for hands free calls and 4 pack of gauges are nice as well. Plus you get the BA 9 speaker sound system.

You can always upgrade later if you want the leather seats.

Leather may be easier to clean, but IMO, it requires more to maintain.

My previous car had leather and my jeans and BDUs just wore it down on some places after years of getting in and out of the car. It looked horrible before I got rid of the car. That and the annoying ambient lighting are the two things that said I have to get the 1SS.

I'll throw the gauges and interior trim on myself, but there's no way I'd want the leather.

I had the same problem myself........I finally realized the 3k was not much more to pay for the nice extras....just pay the extra 3k and get the 2SS. Then you'll be excited to know you're getting the "top of the line" Camaro..........at this time!

My wife absolutely loves the heated seats. We've had leather seats in our previous 2 cars but this is the first with heated. They are the biggest surprise of my Camaro purchase. Totally was not expecting to love that feature so much.

Get the leather, I don't think you'll regret it.......

cloth seats are nasty... go leather...

Toasty · 03-28-2010, 09:08 PM

is it just me, or do the cloth seats seem a bit firmer than the leathers?

bigd1276 · 03-28-2010, 09:11 PM

Love the leather. The gray two tone looks classy plus I like all the other goodies that come with the 2LT package.

mikel441 · 03-28-2010, 09:25 PM

I love my leather. The cloth will smell like sweaty bottom in 6 months to a year.
