I'm starting to car shop, and sat in a Toyota RAV4 the other day. I can generally tell the difference between real leather and pleather, but the SofTex synthetic leather in the RAV4 had me fooled. I won't swear to it, but I thought the car even smelled like leather.
Anybody have any experience with this material? Is it hot? Does it wear well? I've been pleasantly surprised with the V-Tex seats in my Jetta, but it's obvious from a mile away that it's not leather.
In a perfect world, I'd have cloth, but having spent 30 minutes at the carwash trying to get blonde dog hair off the black cloth seats in the CR-V is making me rethink my choices going forward. Even using a seat cover, hair from that shaggy beast gets everywhere.
