Love how people used to pay extra for leather now they pay extra to have no leather 😂 😂. I'll take real leather over vinyl or cloth any day.
@bwofficial17766 ай бұрын
I'd take cloth over leather and anything over vinyl. I like cloth because it doesn't get burning hot in the summer from the sun, doesn't feel cold in the winter, breathes well, and doesn't require regular conditioning. Every car I've had with vinyl or leather received cloth seat covers. My current car was special-ordered with cloth.
@alekskensington54946 ай бұрын
@@bwofficial1776 Simple solar tinted windows, heated seats, and I might have to condition them once a year at most. as opposed to Stains, tears, odors trapped in the cloth, and pet hair. but cloth has its advantages in climate I agree with that. if I wasn't allowed the tint and heated seats then I'd probably be a cloth guy too. then again running the car for a few minutes to either heat the car or cool it kinda negates it so idk.

I’m always amused when people call Range Rover unreliable like we don’t already know that. Cars come with a warranty for a reason, extended warranties are also available. Most buyers who can afford a Range Rover lease.

I have both the 2023 X5 and 2022 Cayenne, in my opinion X5 is the better overall car. I respectfully disagree with the statement that every X5 owner wants to be in a Cayenne. Some Porsches like 911 and Taycan (which I had) differentiate Porsche brand, but not Cayenne. Maybe refreshed one is better, but I doubt it.

So many poor people complain about Range Rover but never had one. People have to remember they don’t make this for the poor. My uncle has a 2019 RR Sport Autobiography with 77K miles and never had a problem.
