Leather seats OK?

If you own leather seats in your RX-8 then are they wearing well? Is the leather acceptable quality?

I have almost 9,000 miles on my car and the seats still look brand new.

My only compliant is that they are a little too wide for my build and during spirited driving they are not very supportive.

they scratch real easy...had a cousin (he's no longer alive) sit on my seats with his keys in his back pocket...left a nice indentation and scratched leather that won't go away...

i woulda preferred softer leather with the backs being leather as well instead of plastic but i guess it's good enough
