Aloha All,
I apologize for my off-topicness, but I needed everyone's opinion on something.

My wife is looking to get a new Accord (she's currently in a 2001 model.) For some reason, she really wants to get a leather interior. I've never had leather myself, so I'm not sure what its pros & cons are.

Can I get some opinions from you guys?

I live in Hawaii where its always sunny and warm, but seldom really hot. Oh, and we're expecting our first child in October also. Am not sure how leather and kids get along.

Thanks,
eKennedy

Leather taken care of well, should last better than cloth and will make your trade-in higher.

If you have, or are planning on getting a dog, go with leather. No hair sticks to it which is a BIG plus...

My E is the first vehicle in a long time without leather. I say go for it! It will definitely pay for itself while you own and enjoy your car and certainly at the time that you get rid of the car.

The only 2 things i can think of being a negative issues is:

1) When you sit on a really hot leather seat < due to the weather>, you will feel it :shock:

2) Make sure you clip your dog nails or else you gonna get a hole.

Much easier to keep a car clean that has leather. My 4 year old got bubble gum all over my Odyssey's leather seats in the back, and was just a little bit of work to get it off and looking new, had that been cloth, I'd still have him in timeout
