It's been a while, how's the leather?

[Calicoasta06]

I know there was a thread a while ago about leather, but now it's been a while. How's the leather holding up? If you have photos, please share.

Don't have photos, but I bought mine about 4 months ago, just under 8k on it. Leather's holding up great, no discoloration, just a bit smoother on the driver's seat vs. the passenger's seat from breaking it in. No color transfer from jeans, etc. so far.

Have you done anything to clean it?

I've been using a Meguiar's product occasionally - http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G136...=1460598998&sr=8-2&keywords=interior+detailer

But to be honest, it really hasn't needed much beyond a quick vacuum. In my use it, even with the Ivory leather, it doesn't get terribly dirty.

Mine still looks like new but I've only driven a little over 1K miles so far

i have about 16k miles on the car almost 17k and i must say that the leather is holding up very nicely still very comfortable and still looks as good as the day i bought it.

Chiming in at 24k here. Looks as fresh as day 1. Stands up to my ass sliding against it multiple times each day. Gets my seal of approval

Nah, if you were to compare it to a brand new one it literally shows no wear/imprints/discoloration. It may just be a trait of the hide yours is made from.

Holding up pretty well. The butt cushion bolster in the driver's seat closest to the door is stretching a bit from getting in and out but it's minimal at best.

I've only conditioned them a few times- need to stay on top of that.

Thanks, i filed a warrenty claim on it to see if they will replace it. Should know in the next week.

Handy to slip right on in over the leather side bolster..I'm all good.

Does anyone know if the leather in the 2016 honda civic is the same as in the 2016 accord? sat in an accord at the dealership deff. the next car i will be getting when i'm done with the civic but the leather felt more well premium in my opinion. could have also just been because of the bigger seats.

I could be wrong but from what I remember when sitting in the 16 accord, it was a bigger seat, and the leather was not on the side bolsters like the civic. I could be wrong, but I do believe that was the case. Also the civic has perforated leather, the accord does not.
