Best Longest Lasting Crease Resistant Smudge Proof Leather seat etc in a car?
What car has the "best leather". I have alot of creases in my 3GS and also rubbed some of the leather color off of the center console arm rest and turned the tan black. Any car that is really resistant to that? Also the luxury package of the 4GS does that make the leather "better?" I know mercedes e class like a 98 the leather was like a brick and not soft at all.

My luxury package 4GS doesn't have any creases in the leather really. Its regularly cleaned and conditioned, and the foam in the bolsters and such is firm, which helps keep it from creasing. It has the semi-aniline leather which is thicker and nicer.
If I remember correctly your 3GS is a 2006? And has like 180,000 miles on it? No leather upholstery will last 9 years and 180,000 miles without creasing, discoloration, etc. Leather is a natural product, and it does wear in over time, develop a patina. If you don't like that, I might consider something like a Lexus with NuLuxe as opposed to leather.

The leather in my cls63 wore away really fast, by 60k times there was a clear sign of wear. You could see discoloration and creases on the drivers side seat. What ticked me off the most was the mark from my wallet. It looked like it left a dent.

Speaking from personal experience, my '05 RX 330 was showing signs of creasing on the driver's seat cushion (bottom). I called Dr Vinyl. Turns out that the foam padding begins to compress and wear, losing it's resiliency. This allows the leather to move and crease. For $250 he removed the leather cover and glued new foam in place. It didn't look like new but was a HUGE improvement. I imagine that if I had caught it sooner, the results would have been even better.

Right now, I think MB's Artico man-made leather is the most convincing. It feels like the real thing and looks like the real thing and because it's synthetic, it'll wear well.

My 2003 Mazda6 vented leather was like brand new even after 7 years and 110K miles. The guy who brought it from me thought I was selling a 2 year old car, but bought it anyways because everything was so spic and span, including under the hood.
