Can only get plaid seats in a GTI.
Or a Volvo V60
Although I'm not going to lie, I prefer the wool seats in the XC60:

Well yeah, it's a Volvo wagon, not gonna roll something overly sporty. I do wish they'd offer that material with black leather instead of that light colored stuff, but I hate light interiors in general, so that might color that. That's why I prefer the second picture, they do that with an all black interior, works much better to my eyes.eh, the plaid in the first image is very suburban mom looking to me. as is the target demographic of the vehicles lol. I'll take my red GTI plaid

It’s strange. Not that long ago, I was very much in the manuals-are-for-men camp. I saw the automatic and the double-clutch alternatives as a sign of weakness. In my mind they were a way of saying that you were a functionary, that you were willing to relinquish control to an algorithm. “Alexander the Great would never have ordered a car with an automatic gearbox,”I would thunder at people who had. Now, though, I reckon buying a manual is like buying a television that has no remote control. Who says: “I like getting out of my chair to change the channel”? Maybe it’s because I’m getting old. But more likely it’s because the modern flappy paddle can change cogs far more quickly than any human being. And your left leg is free to tap along to the radio.

I'm pretty sure they're the same seats. I have a 2016 SE, and have a buddy with a 2017 Autobahn. Seats seem the exact same to me. Doubt either is real leather.
The seating areas on the SE and Autobahn are leather and the steering wheel is leather covered. The sides and back (i.e. those areas that your body doesn't touch when you're sitting in the seat) are synthetic.I feel like the bolstering was slightly better with the fabric seats. Other than that, the overall look and feel of the leatherette is good in my books. I believe they use the same leatherette on the steering wheel with the SE. My 2018 S steering wheel leather was a little shinier, little stiffer. Not sure if its just a change they made to the wheel for 2020, or because its an SE.
Yes! No "How to make your DSG Suck Less" Stickies yet. One of my deciding factors really.
