Interior Durability?
I now have just under 15K miles and have to say that there isn't a mark or scratch in the interior of my 991. I have Agate/Pebble Gray full leather and it has no stains of scuff marks. I golf bag lives in the back seat and there are no marks on the seat backs. I find that this interior is much more durable than either of my 997s.
So far I have no problems. I do find that the leather on the door panels smudge easily. Also, having a difficult time removing sun screen that rubbed off from my elbow onto the leather door panel.
Could there be a difference in durabillty between the standard leather and natural leather?
The natural leather is thicker I guess, because it isn't streched, so maybe it's more durable.

I think the difference is that the grain is left on with the natural leather, and smoothed off with the standard leather. So the natural hides should be "better" original quality as they do not have such processing. it seems like it they should be thicker (but not by much) rather than anything to do with stretching. I doubt there is much difference in durability or scratch resistance.
Full leather black/grey here after 20,000 miles no marks no problems. I do use the chemical guys cleaner and conditioner. The conditioner reinforces that great Porsche leather smell. A friend recently went for a ride and commented that my car smelled like a fine shoe store and quickly said "and I mean that in a good way"
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the plastic around the window switches as they are the worst, mine were scratches within a few days after delivery. It happened so fast that I thought maybe it was delivered like that to me, I went back to the dealership and looked at a few other new cars they had in the lot, all had scratches.

+1 ... my car is a week old with 300 km on the clock, same thing, and I don't even wear a watch, nor rings.
