"the car is always parked inside the garage all these years. I find the front two leather seats started to have some yellowish color on the left side about two years ago and turned worse now. It is just a cosmetic problem that does not affect seating or driving. The car is always driven by one person weighing about 130 lbs so surprised that the driver's seat now feels bumpy when the total mileage driven is only at 45,000 miles. It is still okay to sit and drive just feel not very comfortable."
