I am sure the S2000 doesnt sux one bit
maybe its just someone driving it in the wrong way.

I never had a prob with my seats, they look gorgeous!

 

My red leather seats get dirty quickly because my top is down 98% of the time here in AZ.
I have to clean the leather seats every 2 weeks to keep them looking brand new. No signs of any wear or tear at the 3800 mile point though.

 

I have the all red seats on a 2002 Model and they are fine at 7,000 miles.

 

Doing fine here:

 

Maybe that's the Australian spelling of Porsche Boxster? Any Aussie's that can help clear this up?
15,000 miles on my red seats and no worries, must be you mate.

[B]My 2001 Honda S2000 which I purchased new, after 4000kms started to show signs of wear on the red leather seats, ie the red leather was starting to blacken where you sit including the side bolsters as well.

 

I've had my silver/red S2k for about 2 yrs(17K miles), top down as much as possible and drive alone 95% of the time.

I see virtually no diff between my seat and the adjacent unoccupied one(except that one seems to get more leaves and acorns). I wash occasionally about once every month or even less with mild all-purpose cleaner.

I suggest you try to observe your activities, or apparel. Possibly you are getting contamination on the back due to seating or the environment you occupy(at work?). Or maybe your clothes have colors that are not too stable when damp(sweating etc.).

One of my previous 240z's was red with cream colored seats. I felt sorry for a hitchhiker(during a storm) and picked him up for a few miles. (one could do that relatively safely in the 70's) He wore some kind of red fake velour jacket. . . . big mistake. I have never picked up another hiker since. A sad lesson.

The S2000 seating seems to be first rate and I suspect the problem is not the seat but from other sources of contamination.
