Default F sport seating creasing?

Considering a new fsport but first wanted to hear from owners about 2 things. Does it get annoying or problematic dealing with the side thigh bolster when getting in and out? Seems like crawling over a hump. Second, how badly does the leather show creases over time given the amount of crush and press the bolster gets form erring in and out over this hump? Thanks in advance

LOL. The price to pay when you have sport seats.

I do not have sport seats in my RX, but have had them in other cars.

Creasing depends on how you enter and exit the car over time.

If you sit on the side bolsters ever-time you enter/exit the car, the bolster near the door will wear and crease noticeably.

How soon depends on the quality of leather used and the thickness of the foam used in the bolster.

Infiniti cars I owned with the sport seats showed their age pretty quick in about 3-4 years.

Lexus seats may hold up longer depending on the higher quality leather used I guess.

If you are referring to the 3rd gen RX, the F Sport has the same seats as the non F Sport. It's different in the 4th gen, though.

Since you mentioned "crawling over the hump" I think you you're referring to the 4th gen RX. If that's the case, you may want to post your question in the 4G RX forum so you'll get better feedback.
