The drivers side (and now passenger side) leather on the side of the seat closest to the door has worn out way before it should. It is basically ruined and needs to be replaced. We have had other Lexus vehicles (including currently my daughters 2009 RX350) whose leather still looks brand new. It's crazy that with the few miles I have on it (currently 65,000 - WAY BELOW FOR ITS AGE) that the leather already needs replacing. The leather has looked bad for over a year now so it happened with much fewer miles. The vehicle is in excellent shape other than that.
Update from May 15, 2020: We have the car detailed and keep it very clean so this isn't a maintenance issue.
