1) airbags are not on the seats...

Side airbags (aka torso airbags) are installed and deployed from inside the front seats.

If your leather seat installer does not know what he is doing....well you get the idea.

The newest type R is based on the older FK chassis. The FK chassis is the same generation as the FN and FD chassis.

The Civic X and it's hatchback you guys asked about is on the latest chassis known as FC. To wit, the latest Type R and this new Civic X hatchback are completely different cars.

Don't put the car in neutral at a stoplight is very dubious advice. There should be no negative effect from putting your car in neutral. If your car is not in neutral you have to keep stepping on the brake. So you are straining your transmission and wearing out your brake pads unnecessarily. Don't believe everything you see on the internet by self-proclaimed experts.

Watch this, where he goes into more detail about this topic. This is for a conventional AT, but the principal is the same, as long as you are using a torque converter.

In case you think he is just another self-proclaimed internet expert, spend some time and browse through his channel.

As for wearing brakes out unnecesarily.... you need to differentiate between static friction and dynamic friction.

Dynamic friction = stopping a moving car = wears brake pads
Static friction = keep a stationary car from moving = does not wear brake pads.

So, keeping your brakes on while waiting at a stop light will not wear out your brake pads.

guys, can anyone help and provide feedback for my issue ?

I have noted on my car steering wheel that there are some peeling of the leather. Anyone noted having such issues or it is me only ?
i had not purposely or accidentally scratched it as i am aware off.  Wondering if is the quality issue as i have other family honda cars with no such issue.

can feel the "scratch" feeling making very irritating.
Can anyone help?

If you did not bring this up during delivery of the car, most likely Honda will write it off as your own fault.

No harm trying to claim, though.
