Relevant: What is the difference between Volkswagen trims? What are the benefits of cloth, V-Tex leatherette and leather options? There are a few benefits to each option, and which you choose will likely come down to preference and cost. Cloth is obviously the least expensive option as it isn’t as pricy to produce, while leather is the most premium option and leatherette falls somewhere in between. Cloth: This choice is a favorite not only because it’s a low-cost option, but it tends to breathe better than both leatherette and leather. In some cases it may also have more texture, so it feels less slippery. Cloth can be soft and doesn’t tend to hold heat or cold the way leather can, so you won’t have to worry about sizzling seats when you’re parked in the sun. They can pill over time, wear thin and tear, hold odors more and are more prone to staining.
V-Tex Leatherette: First, what exactly is V-Tex leatherette? It’s a man-made material that is made to resemble leather and is made with vinyl, but is much softer and more pliable so that it very much resembles leather, without actually being made form cow hide. Shoppes often choose this option as it tends to be more durable even than leather is, costs less and is easier to clean than cloth, while requiring less care than leather. It provides a premium feel without the extra cost, which is why it sits in as a sort of “better” option in a “good, better, best” scale. Leather: There’s no doubt this is the tried-and-true premium option, though it does have its downside. One thing shoppers love is the smell of leather, and it tends to get more supple over time, two things which combine to give it that feeling of luxury. It is, however, more prone to cracking when left in the sun and leather should be cleaned and conditioned with products made for leather. As you can see, there are pros and cons for each type of upholstery, but it ultimately comes down to what you prefer.

That last item boasted a "capacitive" display that presents a clean, uncluttered screen until a hand approaches, at which point -- before the screen is touched -- all the various choices suddenly appear. 1,295 Driver Assistance Pkg. Of course, being a hatchback, this guy is daily-life friendly. Driving is fun -- particularly with the six-speed manual we had. Throttle response is immediate, thanks to a torque peak that comes fully onboard at a low 1,400 rpm, and the manual shifter is smoother than a siding salesman, finding its gates as if it had radar. Acceleration -- not this guy's strongest suit -- is only OK after a peppy from-stop launch. We greeted 60 mph in just under 8 seconds -- no hot rod, to be sure (get a Golf GTI or R for that), but willing, nonetheless. Photo provided by Volkswagen. Rather than straight-line speed, Golf shows its charm through a solid chassis, which helps this little hatch handle, ride and respond like a champ. If you like to drive -- and to do so in a manual-transmission car you can shake hands with -- this is a joy. In just over 100 miles, combining highway and city driving, we realized 33 mpg, 1 mpg more than the EPA figured. 490 increase. But, hey, we had an additional gear cog, better mpg and more safety nannies. The driving fun is no extra charge. This content was produced by Brand Ave. Studios.
