Weekly sounds a little extreme. But you do have to think about conditioning and, in the case of a convertible, UV protection.

Leather is not that bad. Superchica's points are valid. It's a lovely option to have, it adds class and it speaks to the classic sports cars of the, for example, 1960s, and the Gallardos and Ferraris of today. (DISCLAIMER: I'm going for context here, guys. I am not saying that a $20k Scion is like a Gallardo or a Ferrari. Therefore, please don't kill me.) But, for me, in this application, it adds weight that I don't want.
