quality question about interior

sonic370 · 06-12-2011, 08:30 PM

just had a general question about how the cloth interior of the 370 is holding
up after a couple of years now. where if any is anyone seeing the most wear
showing up at..........

Mine is an 09, however is not my DD. My interior is still almost brand new.

I can't comment on how well the cloth seats wear but my touring interior still looks brand new and still smells brand new, even after a full year. Very happy with the quality of the interior so far, I have no doubts it will stay looking like new for a long time at this rate.

I couldn't put my Z through the ringer but I carefully inspected my seat cloth quality of materials and stitching. I can't imagine the seats getting worn at all for a very long time. Its about the highest quality cloth you can use for a seat. You would have to really abuse your seats to wear that cloth.

I got the leather mainly because when I have cloth bucket seats the cloth always wears a hole in the bolster from getting in and out. I'm sure that will be common in the Z too.

i get in and out of a lot of cars at work being a mechanic, and i can honestly say, without bias, that these are some of the best cloth seats around. im sure they will have great longevity, unless you abuse them in some form or fashion.

I've got 22k miles on my cloth seats now and I would say they are holding well. I'm a bigger guy so getting in and out of the car doesn't happen without rubbing on it , but it's doing well. I would say another 20k miles and it would start showing.

If anything, the SRS tag on the side of my seat is getting a little fuzzy but not enough for me to really be concerned.

have have the gray leather/suede, and the only think that im worried about is keeping the suede on the door sills clean.

my arm/hands are always rubbing on it and such

Don't have a 370Z, but the cloth interior in my 1988 mustang GT with 100K+ on it still looks mint. I don't think there is any excuse for ANY wear in a '09 car of any make/model for broken down cloth interior. Should be a non-issue.

elmz · 06-13-2011, 10:40 AM

I got mine in 09 and have about 23k on it, and the cloth seats look as good as it did when I first bought it. I couldn't say the same with the 350Z cloth seats. Although they held up with no tears or anything, they faded into a light black color after 5 years of ownership. The 370 cloth has a nice shine and deep black color, I think these will hold up even better.

My interior side molding on the inside of the kick plate gets scuffed pretty bad from kicking it on the way out of the car. Simple and cheap enough to replace it, eventually, I guess.

Do you travel far distances for work?

XwChriswX · 06-13-2011, 04:28 PM

Picked up in March of 2010, still going strong. Just the usual white spots from skin resting on it, but they clean up easy. No cuts or scratches or torn fabric anywhere. When other people get in my car they say it still smells new, I've gotten used to it so I no longer smell it, but others do ftw.
