How's the Leatherette Holding Up?

[FreeVeggie]

Question for all of you with i Grand Touring or s Touring.

How is the leatherette holding up? I've decided to buy a 3 s Touring as soon as the manual 2.5s arrive. I would go with the s GT, but I don't do real leather. So how is the leatherette holding up? Wrinkles? Resiliency? Wear marks? I want the premium feel, and I plan to keep the car until I pass it on to my daughter in 10 years. I realize the 2014s haven't been around long enough to provide any substantial long-term feedback. Any input you can provide me would be much appreciated.

The leatherette is great, i keep the back seats down a lot when my dog rides in the cargo area. After and kind of pressure the seats feel supple and return with no creases or what not. I personally pay attention to avoid dragging my butt across the bolsters as thats how a very large portion of seat wear begins. it is thicker than you would expect from synthetic "leather" the stitching is strong and consistent and it gets just as hot as real leather! haha

Thanks MZ3Rx7. That's what I was hoping to hear. Now if the manual transmissions will just show up, I'll have a car.

Glad I could help. Hopefully mazda will start putting them out, I've seen quite a few requests for the combination now.
