Default Full leather?

I have leather on all my cars, and it is slipper and sliding all the time.

For the IS300 Sport Wagon, I am in the market for, I thought I would go with no leather. I sat in a suade? type material IS300 sedan about a year ago, and felt the middle part was much more grippy..for turns and such.

Can you guys tell me what would you prefer and why, before I make the decision?

Also I know some leathers crack, how are IS leathers holding up after a few years of abuse?

So to fully leather or not..is the question.....

Appreciate the help..

the suade definitely has better grip, i have sat in both and i can tell you that for sure. but in my is3, i have no problem driving fast on corners, the lateral support is very good, exceptionally good i may add (compared to my other cars).

now the leather, i think it has better quality than my gs4 in fact. it's very soft
