Exactly why I ordered the 1SS with cloth seats. 8,000 miles and the seats still look like the day I brought the car home. I know a lot of people like leather and I can understand why, but I just do not like the way leather seats look after a year or two.

Agree Another reason I bought the 1SS.

I think that there becomes a point in a leather seats life where it achieves "Maximum Stretchage."

Maybe that's what's goin on here.

Been there, done that.

That is the same with leather shoes that are tight when you buy them but stretch to fit you feet with wear. Either get used to the wrinkles or start eating more twinkies!

Hmmm. My leather seats should look perfect even at 100,000 miles then.

I had the same problem with my seats and then i stopped keeping my iphone and wallet in my back pocket and now my seats leather is back to normal and you cant tell that they ever stretched to begin with. I am at 6500 miles if anyone is wondering how long i have sat in the seats.

SSMOKN · 02-23-2010, 06:31 PM

I have 1200 miles on it and both seats are all streched out. Not happy.
