Yes, I too noticed that all the plastic interior pieces scratch VERY easily. All it takes is a ring or fingernail. The seat belts are bound to chew bloody hell out of the seats and door pillars within a short period of time. The pillars don't bother me as much because it's not as obvious, but I'm trying to be extra careful not to scratch the door panels. Unfortunately I can't control what ignorant passengers do.
I've been lucky so far with the plastics. But I have a scratch on my leather wheel, I can only guess it's from the zipper on the cuff of my leather jacket. Makes my eye twitch every time I see it.
Ultimately, it's a car. That gets used. Shit happens, buff it out as best you can and pad the offending pieces? I know of more expensive cars with interior plastics that will scratch way easier than ours.
I don't recall seeing any scratches on mine either, but I do have a scratch on the leather steering wheel that I guess something dragged across the bottom and scratched it.
I do notice my drivers seat not as black as it used to be compared to the rest of the seats, like its fading. Its more of a medium graphite color now. I have the seats that come in the Rallye with the white stripes down the center.

Thanks! Maybe I'll try that and see how it works. I have a spot under the seat on the floor where salt stuck it (gotta love NY winters!) so I need some for that anyways.
I just had my steering wheel completely replaced, and the fabric on the bottom of my driver's seat replaced, both under warranty. Steering wheel got a bunch of cracks in the leather, and the soft fabric under the leather seat got ripped due to the hard plastic shell around the seat.
Your not alone, that portion of the drivers side is the only scratches I can't get rid of!
