suede inserts

Hey guys/gals

I'm looking to upgrade from an 08 F to a 13 F. My 08 has full leather seats that i enjoy. The 13 has suede inserts it least from what the dealership is telling me. Has anyone had issues with there seats not being fully leather? Thanks in advance. Also anything else i should be looking at or for with the newer car

I'm sure you can find someone that will trade seats with you. If we were even remotely close to each other, I'd do it in a heartbeat - I'd much rather have alcantara.

My 2011 has alcantara and it is fine. It is soft and grippy...no issues.

I prefer the alcantara inserts as it doesn't get too cold or hot during winter and summer.

I have both. The alcantara wears much much better than the leather.

Aside from the torsen diff, headlights, gauges and suspension are there any differences between the 13 and my 08?
