False. Leatherette does not get hot in the sun. In fact, the Leatherette offered in North American MINIs is of the highest quality as it is the same exact seat material offered in the $30K BMW 3 series.

Some reviers claim that the Leatherette feels and looks better than the actual Leather seats.

If yout think that the MINI's leatherette is hot and sticky you simply haven't spend the time with this material.

A lot of people think that I have real cowhide seats in the car.

The Letherette has thousands of microscopic perforations in the material (Not visible to the naked eye) that help the material breath thus avoiding becoming sticky.

Excellent quality and durability. Thank you MINI for offering such a superior seat upholstery choice over the cloth and the overpriced Leather.
