Cloth. My legs don't stick to it in the summer! But I don't have a major preference either way, I'm simply more used to cloth. :)

I looooove leather seats. I hate cloth for the following reasons:

--Pet fur, clothing fuzz, cookie crumbs, etc all get stuck on it. 

--Some of the fabrics will pill up.

--If it's a light color, you'll end up with dirt stains on it. I don't care how clean you are - dark colored jeans will wear their dye in to the seats, etc. This happens on my tan leather too, but it's easy to wipe off with a towel and some leather cleaner. Cloth seats - not so easy.

--Most cars now with leather have heated seats (for winter), and I have heard that some companies (like Ford and Cadillac, not sure about others) have COOLED seats also for you southern girls. (Personally, I'm a cold woman and I really LOVE sitting down on my hot seat at the end of an airconditioned day in the summer.)

--This is personal preference but I tend to see a lot of cars with patterned cloth. I'd get sick of the pattern. Some (like the Kia SOUL) even have the car's name printed in the pattern. Seems a little tacky to me. This isn't a commercial airliner, it's your car.

Mr. Mary Jane and I have leather heated seats in our cars, and I'm so glad. I have a Honda Civic EX-L (2008) and he has a Nissan Rogue SL AWD (2008). Both great cars so far.

Previously I had a 2007 Honda Civic EX with cloth seats and they were awful. Cat hair, dust, fuzz, just nasty. I'd lint-roll them daily I swear. Honestly, they were THE reason I bought a new car the very next year - Honda released one with leather.

My car before that ('92 Saab) had leather though, and my first car (an old VW bug) had vinyl, so I was already spoiled by a nice, slick, easy to maintain interior.

I live in Central FL, too krissycake, and I currently have leather in my Tahoe. Honestly, I think it really depends on the car. Actually, I think cars in general just get hotter than SUV's. And while I don't particularly like the regular cloth seats, my last vehicle was an H3 which had that super tough cloth (but dark in color) and it stayed really cool.It was also a breeze to keep clean and would look like new even after the dogs mudded it up.

My Tahoe is black with light leather, and it stays relatively cool as well, although I wish it had seat coolers like a BMW for the summer around here! I still hate sticking to my seats. 

Cloth!! I can't stand anything leather. Not because I am morally against it but because the smell of leather makes me nauseous :( Plus I hate that whole cold in the winter hot in the summer thing.

I have a Hyundai Sonata with CLOTH HEATED seats :) :) I have a 80 pound red lab and his fur does get everywhere but it generally stays in the backseat where no one ever sits.

My car has cloth and FH's has leather and I HATE getting into his car in the winter if he hasn't pre-heated it first. Burrrr, my poor bum!

I prefer cloth, but also want to get heated seats with my next car, which (as far as I've seen) is only available with leather seats. But seats being heated trumps whatever they are made out of! :)

@gabrielleelise1981: my 2005 hyundai sonata has cloth seats with heated driver/front passenger seats :)

I should point out for those who said leather cracks in hot climates -- I condition my leather every year in the fall. (for us, its winter when it's worrysome - with the extreme cold). Doesn't take much, just some leather conditioner (less than 6 bucks at walmart, comes in a spray bottle like most cleaning solutions). You just spray that on your seats and wipe them down. If you're worried about your leather cracking, what do you do about your dash?! Plastic/vinyl dashboards are much more prone to cracking than leather. [They sell a spray/wipe for that too.]

For those who said their legs stick to it... I swear I am not trying to be snarky here but um... this keeps coming to mind ...

Do you wear pants while driving? hehe. Generally the city laws frown upon driving around in your undies! (Yeah, I know y'all probably have better legs than old Mary Jane here so you wear cute skirts and shortyshorts.) But really thats what I keep thinking! "Wear pants and the seat wont stick!!" hehe. I never wear any shorts or skirts shorter than the knee, so that is probably why I don't have that issue.

Cloth, with the exception of my mom's Mini Cooper, which has a fake leather (doesn't hold temperatures like it though, AND has butt warmers!!!!!!) which I called pleather at the dealership and got MANY a mean glance, LOL. It's fake leather, but NOT pleather. It's really the best car interior I've ever seen.

Heated seats -- love love love them.
