Black leather

Is there anybody who wished that they wouldn't have purchased the leather and would of went with the cloth instead.

I take it you don't like the leather? What don't you like about it? Looks, comfort, "feel". I am curious

I ordered the black but I don't know if I want more of a contrast. I still have time to change my mind. I will go back to the dealer again and look again at all of my options.

I have not configured yet but I am rethinking the leather option as well. The only problem if you don't choose the leather option you lose the rain and light sensor and the auto-off head lights with exit delay options (they are not offered separately) I like the idea of more contrast like red interior.

I bought it and am very pleased. The seat backs have a sort of open weave cloth center on the backrest and are more of a dark grey to my eye than Black, the cloth portions of the door panels and dash have a light pattern on them and that lightens things up. Then grey trim on gages and things and silver door pulls. From the drivers seat you see lots of glass an aircraft canopy effect. love the seat heat. Even if you get cloth, get heat

I ordered the leather, but I have to admit, I wish there was a more eco/green choice. Leather is pretty un-'p.c.' but to me that fabric upholstery didn't appeal to me -and the leather was affordable, considering.

Ford is offering cool, recycled material upholstery. Smart should as well.

Love the leather in my yellow/black coupe. Not as black as I feared, more dark gray, actually. Nice contract with off-white A and B posts and roof lines. Naturally the roof itself is clear with a nice tan sunshade. Gray trim rings around the tach/clock and instrument panel are a nice touch.

Nice stitching on the seats, very well done all around.

I ordered the white with silver passion. I think the black will go good with the white but it there going to be just to much of it to make the interior blah. Black floor, black door panels inside and so on. I will stop at the dealer and make a list and just cross off my likes and dislikes and go from there.

Isn't leather just recycled cowhide? That doesn't seem terribly un-PC.

I saw the leather interior for the first time at the dealer and I was very pleased. It is a medium-dark gray with contrasting stitching, and the fabric insert in the back gives a little more texture/contrast to the look - plus, on a hot day it'll be nice.

On the other hand, I like the look of the cloth too, but I wanted it all.
