While Dakota leather is fairly durable, it quickly shows it's not new anymore (especially driver seat) and I tried to clean and condition with leather cleaner and conditioner twice a year but it doesn't really help much.
If you think leather is more durable, you are kidding yourself...

What does it mean, can you describe "not new anymore"? Worn out, color change, did it crease?
I don't think it is a typical experience other people had on this and other forums. Unless,of course, your use was not a typical and normal due to your activities or job or something else. For instance, some guy said he does a lot of kayaking and gets wet in his car, so I do understand that leatherette would be a better solution for him.
I've never said that leather is more durable than plastic, however, it is definitely very durable, especially Dakota, but it is undeniably more comfortable due to additional seat adjustments and a feel.
