Personally, the steering wheel on the FR-S is the most comfortable, and enjoyable steering heel I've had; I cannot stand the hard plastic one in my mom's '05 4Runner, that makes grip incredibly sketchy if your hands are sweating at all, and not to mention uncomfortable - but again, you don't really define 'ruined'.
This is the only one I can comment on myself, but I've seen multiple 86 drivers who have the steering wheel peeling off material. Granted, these guys also all track or autocross their cars, so their wheels see more abuse. I think they all got it replaced under warranty though.
