I am looking at this MY08 GPW with black/red interior with only 2K miles and it has already pretty bad wear on the driver's seat on the left hip bolster.It looks cracked and a little ripped around the stitches.

Does any of you with MY08 red seats experience the same issue,is it normal?Thanks in advance.

 

BTW i didnt have this issue on my previous S2K MY04 with 13k miles.

 

Maybe the owner is fat?

 

 

^^could be,he traded it in for a big a$$ Ford pickup truck,but still too early to wear so much?

 

also the red on the MY08 is different than MY 04 05 06 07,it covers the whole top area of hte seat,its not just an insert like previous MYs

 

im thinking maybe Honda went cheaper with the new rims and new seats to bring costs down?

 

i know from just seeing how different s2k's have held up, that its all about how you get in and out.

and maybe they are making them cheaper, wouldn't suprise me

 

I actually have the same issue with MY08...I didn't notice until my GF pointed it out. Everytime I stepped in and out of my car, the buttons on/or my back-pocket threading would scrape the seat. Since then, I've been mindful not to just *plop* down on the seat. I'm not hefty either...just a good 350lbs (i keed, i keed).

 

06 no wear an be found. I thought the leather was the same material (different color scheme maybe) 06 and up
