Did you settle for the vinyl seats in your Passat?
If you want the leather you have to pay about $3000 more to get it in a package with some other stuff.

I'll bet 99 out of 100 people couldn't tell the vinyl from the leather in the Passat, it looks that good. Save the $3k.

I got the package with the leather, as well as many other upgrades. Like I posted in the Azera forum, it cost me about $3000 over the Azera Limited, but the options are well worth it. If the Azera had some of these options, I would probably have gotten the Azera, but.........and I agree, you would have a tough time telling the vinyl seats from the leather.

I'm sure the vinyl is beautiful to look at, just like the leather. But they are seats, not pictures on a wall.
Drive for an hour or two sitting on them. The comfort of leather over vinyl is very noticeable. The leather breathes better. Your don't get that sticky feeling. On vinyl you do. Or at least I do.
Also at temperature extremes the leather is more pleasant.

"cost me about $3000 over the Azera Limited"?
 
That is too vague to be meaningful. Can you explain more?
   
What was the MSRP of your Passat with the options you selected?
And how much did you pay?
And what price are you assuming you could have bought the Azera Limited for?
And what options are you figuring on the Azera at that price?

Using manufacturer's measurements:
 
Passat is 95.2 cu. ft. for passengers.
Azera is 106.9 cu. ft. for passengers.
 
So, the Azera is 12.3% larger than the Passat for passengers.
 
Percentagewise, that is like a 199 pound man eating a whole lot of Twinkies and ballooning up to 223 pounds. It would be a big difference on me.

The vinyl is perforated on the Passat, so breathing is not a problem.

Could we expand this discussion to include the Toyota Avalon, Ford Five Hundred and replace the Lacrosse with the Lucerne? Having more cars in the discussion can only make it more interesting.

We already have this one: Hyundai Azera vs Toyota Avalon vs Ford 500 vs Chevrolet Impala. How about if we add the Lucerne there?
