How are your seats?

I'm not currently a stinger owner, but would like to be one day. I've read a few people comment on early wear and tear on their nappa leather after only a months use or less.

Just wondering if most people have noticed signs of wear or not? Bit worrying what the seats will look like after a few years if it's a common issue! Thanks.

Not a single complaint about the quality of leather seats on the German market.

No wear issues whatsoever.

No wear issues at all, and I'm actually really surprised at how comfortable they are, compared to my BMW 440i.

Over 2,000 miles. All but ~ 360 are city. I've been just running errands - constantly in and out. Seat looks great, including the side bolster!

I know this is an old thread but I don't see any other threads yet....instead of starting a new one... I'm concerned about my 1 mo old GT2 with black Nappa leather. The seats are absolutely sumptuous to sit in but...
Passenger's seat already has a line from where my daughter dragged her shoe across the bottom bolster :( and the back seats seem to have permanent indents from the seats being folded down in transit (?) or having something on them for a while.

Appreciate any other feedback....

Been there. I found a cut from what most likely was a razor. No tearing, just a clean 1” cut. Since I can’t pinpoint when it happened, it’s on me. And I also ended up with dents in the rear seats from my kids car seats. I even used the heavy duty seat cover you can get from Target. I’ve had to take out the car seats for a while to let the leather bounce back.

And my driver side bolster still looks good. A bit more worn than the right side, but I’ve already cleaned it a few times to bring back the red

I've had no problems with my seats, you just have to use a good leather cleaner that also restores the seat. If you live here in Arizona you have to use leather cleaner that also put moisture back into the leather or the heat will dry an crack your seats. Through a period of time...……...
