Actually its only the seat faces in leather, all the rest is just vinyl look leather.

The GT's get a black roof lining and the vinyl leather look door panels as standard with either option.

My choice was, and still would be, cloth - leather is usually one of the first options I consider - the Scirocco I test drove had black leather and (really sorry to upset the fans of leather Sciroccos) I thought it was the worst leather I had ever seen notwithstanding the ridiculous price - even for the masters of charging silly prices for extras, Mini, an upgrade to leather is less than £1000. I suspect the truffle leather might look a lot better but never seen it in the flesh.

If I had really wanted leather I would have investigated having it retrimmed by a specialist rather than have VW supply it.
