It's great - would never go back to cloth again. The main reason is the ease of cleaning.

Giving this a bump. We're still looking/shopping and can't decide between EX-T or EX-L.

I've seen some cars with leather interiors that don't hold up well to daily use. It looks great when you get it but after a while it looks rumpled and stretched.

How's your leather looking, especially if you've had the car for a while now?

7k miles on my Touring, it's holding up well. I have the Ivory and there is no color transfer from jeans and the like.

Same here with just under 10,000 miles (15,000 kms). Daily driver since end of November 2015 with no issues and still nice and tight.

This is my first vehicle with leather and I prefer it over fabric so far. I'll see how hot the ivory colour gets in the summer but it has to be cooler than black.

Ditto - the Ivory leather still going strong after months of use.

Pleather. Friend had a 2004 TSX and I have ave a 2006 tL both bought brand new. At 85k miles TL pleather looked awful even when using Zaino religiously. Seats cracked awfully . Same for my friend but his showed it at 110k miles, Zaino also. It will be interesting to see how the pleather on this Civic hold up to the test of time. I opted for the EX-T because of the pleather, so EX-L was a no go for me. Good luck
