Because it's Plastic vs Cowhide
Chemical Engineers have made the material that wears like iron. Now it does not breathe like leather so expect to sweat a lot during the summer. Also it does not absorb like leather so it will be colder in the winter. Leather actually absorbs moisture and heat which is probably a reason it wears out. That it is somewhat like your skin it expects to have cells replaced over time but once the cow is dead...

well I don't sniff my seats, but I have "new car" smell in general..
I don't have a leather smell, but that's such a trivial thing when your talking about $6k difference. If your sister is that trivial with her money, more power to her I guess. The 6sp reason is the only good one she has IMO.
I still agree Audi should offer leather in the 1.8T, but I'm sure they never will. It's a way to make people spend more money, which is apparently going to work in this case.
