I prefer leather seats, but my wife prefers cloth. Her 225K mile, 18 year old CR-V’s cloth seats are pretty much mint, even after us raising two kids while owning that car (and the obviously significant overall usage).

My 2015, 24K mile LEAF has noticeably more wear on the leather seat’s bolster.

21 year old Saturn LW200 with cloth seats here. Seats are still great. I also own cars with leather and vinyl seats. I prefer the cloth.
Nissan is pure garbage compared to Honda
Funny - my 2002 Nissan Xterra still runs, drives and looks like the day I bought it. My 1997 Miata is likewise just as fit. I'll take ANY Japanese car over an American, or god help you, European car - keep them clean and do oil changes religiously and most modern cars will treat you well. The biggest thing that boggles my mind is the amount of people who have garbage they don't use in their garages instead of their cars. And then let their kids destroy the interiors with food and drink.
