In both my '05 and '08 STi, the Alcantara looked essentially brand new at trade-in time. It is a "must have" feature for me now; I much, much prefer it over cloth or leather. The BRZ Alcantara feels about the same as the STI stuff so I expect it should wear the same. From my experience, it's virtually indestructible under normal use and resists stains much better than cloth.

For what it's worth, the overall seat feel is significantly better in the BRZ than in the '08 STI, IMHO.
