Concur, how'd you keep the (seemingly inevitable) cracks on the DS seat away? Just the Chemical guys stuff?

Cleaner, mixture of distilled water and white vinegar
Conditioner, chemical guys leather conditioner.
vacuum seats thoroughly, apply vinegar and water solution on a microfiber towel clean as needed.
Apply conditioner let’s sit until dry.
buff with a microfiber towel.I do this at least twice a year following instructions on chemical guys, leather conditioner.
NOTE this process is for a preventive maintenance and will not remove the cracks on leather seats, test, the water and vinegar solution on a hidden part of your seat to determine that it will not harm your leather.

overall how reliable has your car been in its 200,000 miles? What all has needed repair? Thx.

As a veteran of the military, I did preventive maintenance on my equipment. I carried this work habits into my personal life. besides what I’ve already mentioned I had to replace a water pump. i’ve changed my engine oil every 3000 miles. replaced transmission fluid and axle fluid twice etc… preventative maintenance is the key.

that’s excellent reliability really. The replacement battery, I remember reading somewhere, has better cooling. So it should last longer.

Did you replace your lower driver side leather? If so what did you buy. Love the way yours looks!
