I'd go with leather @DustinDep, I'd think it's easier to resell later. Everyone loves leather!HELP i have to finalize tomorrow and cant decide if i should go with MB tex recaros or leather?!?! whats your thoughts? is it worth the money?
If you plan to keep a CLA for that long I think it would be better if you were to lease and keep on upgrading to a better CLA as they get improved and keep the last one you can get for as long as you wish to. The last years of production are almost always the bestPersonally, the CLA just isn't a "good enough" car in my mind to deal with leather and the eventual wear to warrant it. Granted, I plan on keeping the car and handing it down (seems like a lot of people are leasing) so I'm more biased on longevity. But also for me unless the seat covering is awful, I don't dress light enough to feel the difference when I'm driving. The MBTex is good enough for my coat and pants.
Leather starts looking bad as soon as 3 years depending on use. And I plan on commuting at least half the time with it. But I also plan on handing it down after that, so it doesn't really make sense to lease. A lease may be cheaper, but doesn't make up for the lack of the car at the end.If you plan to keep a CLA for that long I think it would be better if you were to lease and keep on upgrading to a better CLA as they get improved and keep the last one you can get for as long as you wish to.
