After some insurance work and getting some money back, I am in the market for a new vehicle (a 370z, of course!)
I was just looking for some opinions from people on a used 370z I found. For awhile, I was set on leather seats and would not have it any other way. I found an awesome deal on a Yellow 370 Sport with cloth seats. I have now begun convincing myself that leather isn't so important on the Z. Who has cloth and how do they look/feel. I know there has been some other threads talking about seats but I would like opinions for my situation.
Thanks and I am excited to hopefully start posting about my new Z on these forums with you all!!

I saw this one last week

Used Cars at Sonnen Porsche Serving San Francisco, CA, Inventory

Sport, touring, tinted windows and after market exhaust. Looks good.

Buy the cloth seats and if u don't likee have a local shop put leather in. That is what I did and it looks great. I have pics in my albums it was only like a 1000 bucks for the install.

stupid work internet filtering blocks it. Ill check it out when I get home. I am going to take a look at the seats in your album, who makes them?

Yellow is AWESOME looking when it's sunny out and even when its dark. That to say is if you like bright color, then you will definitely love it, plus the color is limited to ONLY 2009.

My last car was a TL fully loaded with leather but I didnt care for leather when I get cloth seats on my Z, feels warm in winter and cool in summer (unlike leather, freaking burnt my ***)

But sit in both and decide for yourself

Leather is hot in summer, cold in the winter. Cloth is not.
Leather cracks and looks worse over time. Cloth takes much longer.
Leather is dead animal, cloth is dead cotton.
Leather needs to be treated 4 times a year, cloth does not.
Leather is easy to clean, cloth is not.
Leather makes some people sweat, cloth breathes better.
Leather costs more, cloth is cheaper.

That said I have a car with Leather and I can deal with it. But I had no choice to get leather when getting Navi. So I didn't have a choice. If I did, cloth is the easy choice for me.

I could have gotten a Yellow base for $500 less than I got a Pearl White Touring. I wanted heated seats.

I did NOT want yellow. It's too yellow for me. And I love heated seats. If the yellow had been a touring, I might have learned to live with it.

Plus, I really like the cargo cover!

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

They don't have a color named swarthy or olive, so I had to take the Pearl one.
