I confess...I hate leather seats

   A few months ago, I went car shopping.  My husband and I decided to stop by the Lexus dealership that is near our house despite knowing that was out of our range.  The salesman was insanely nice and not pressuring at all.  We sat in one of the cars which of course had leather seats.  I mentioned something about the leather seats and my dislike for them which came as a surprise to the salesman.  
   Where does my hatred come from?  Leather seats in the winter are frigid.  Now I'm fully aware of seat warmers, but I still think that leather is colder than just cloth material.  In the summer, leather is insanely hot.  Recently, they've added air conditioned seats to cars.  But I still don't like leather.  
    Skin sticks to leather.  If I'm in a skirt or shorts, my legs stick to the seat, which just is awkward.  Plus leather condones sliding.  You turn the corner, and your butt slides to the side.  On top of sliding, it produces a sound that just sounds unrefined---in a luxury car.   No thank you.  I'll take cloth.
