I agree that the leather looks more appropriate for a vehicle if this class. The stitching brings a feeling of luxury. I can't speak to comfort especially on long trips because I only have 2 hours of seat time in a test drive. I couldn't tell a difference in cushion between sensatec vs leather. But again the leather "feels" nicer in a sense of appearance due to stitching.
I'm going with sensatec because I can't get Tacora Red in leather unless I get an x4. Stupid!! I can't get ventilated seats unless I get black or mocha leather. Stupid! The insanity of option combinations forces one to make decisions and "settle" or make compromises when one shouldn't have to on a vehicle at this price point. I'll add that other manufactures don't seem to have these limitations and compromises. I'd be happy with a 30i fully optioned but that's not possible today. Will it ever get better? The prevailing opinion is that 2023/24 things will get back to "normal". I'm not convinced that will be the case. So I "settle" on an amazing car but think over time I will forget about these minor gripes.
