i was just looking on ebay at hondas to see if you leather guys are right. I searched for accords with the same year. I found 1 with leather at 90k miles and the drivers seat looked like crap - seam coming apart and numerous cracks. I then saw one with 160k with cloth and it still looked great. I have never come across a "stinky" cloth seat. I will say that I helped a frien move. He had a leather couch that the dog sat on and it reeked real bad. He wanted to sell it, and finally someone gave him 200 bucks for it (he paid 1600 originally). The new buyer spent a whole day cleaning it, but never could get the smell out, so he threw it in the trash. All you leather lovers are wrong! Not easier to maintain, doesn't last longer and looks terrible when worn (also costs much more). Makes no sense.
