l have the money for the leather so it would not be a problem.Some people online say it flings you around when you're taking sharp turns and l definitely do not want that.Are they just jealous that their Mazda is do not have leather?

hope this helps mike

leather is better- for keeping it clean and ease of maintanence. BUt it is hot and sticky int he summer from time to time. the car handles like a little sports car and is a lot of fun, it is also pretty economical as far as gas goes, so do not pay attention the the other people, there is no whiping/ flinging on turns. well maybe if you do not wear a seat belt and take a corner at 100 miles an hour you might!! JK

Leather is definitely the right choice. It sells really well, too, if you want to know about the sell value. I've also heard a lot of really good things about the Mazda 3, runs good, fast, good mileage-so, enjoy the leather if you can get it!

Leather seats do let u slide around far more than cloth seats, but u have to know how to push a car HARD to get up to that point. Cloth seats hold u far more securely for ''spirited'' driving or if u do sport events like Autocross.

Leather is hotter in the summer & colder in the winter (unless heated) & generally weigh more as they usually have power adjustments, so there r motors & wiring involved.

But, properly cared for leather seats will outlast cloth, & since they're more expensive & more popular they tend to help the cars resale value

You dont fling around or move anywhere with leather. Buy the car with leather if you want it.
