Default Looking at a 2015 RC. Love it all but the driver seat bolster....

It has a quarter size spot where the faux leather is separating from the fabric and the foam inside the bolster feels like it is torn in half. Is this a common issue? The car only has 26k miles. I looked all over for seat skins on the net but came up with nada. My wife would love the car but that driver seat would drive her crazy.

Hard track miles lol, I like those cars too but every time I see a nice one I imagine it being driven hard by the current owner.

Default Seat issue.

My 15 still looks great. Looks like that one is in the use and abuse category. Some people are just rough on seats/cars in general. I must get in and out like a Ninja. Mine is still looking good.

Absolutely skip over any car with less than perfect seats. it's the one thing that would infuriate me. also a seat worn that early means the rest of the car was abused. seats are the best indicator how a car was treated.
