I am not a fan of the cream exterior nor the natural interior on a Porsche, a Lexus maybe.

I cant decide about this interior with cream accents where I am used to seeing grey (below) post up what you think of it.

PS seller said its terracotta but I dont it is, can someone confirm?
Fist pic look terracotta.

All the others one looks like natural Brown...

Love both!

How much? Does that include Sport Plus??

Plus a $1000 + installation at the dealer for the proper steering wheel. Much easier just to find a car already equipped with what you want/need.

I love the interior (same as mine) but it does create a reflection on the windshield.

I have the same exact interior: it is the natural brown full leather interior.

+1. The interior color is noted under the ashtray. Just pull it out and take a look underneath. I was drawn to a full leather interior until now that I own one. The non-full leather interiors are far more resilient to normal wear and tear, especially on the door panels and console, and my next car will not be full leather for this reason.

Gonz, "full leather" would include the dash and the door panels and would show stitching on both (like you have on your E-brake). That's a pretty interior, nonetheless, though. As I said, I'd actually prefer this interior to a full leather one, as they are MUCH easier to maintain properly and look just as good.

Gonz, thanks

Those cream accents are the wildcard for me. Spoke to eric @ bumper plugs and they are paintable piano black which I am not sure is better with the brown, or replaceable with CF at a considerable cost which again isnt great with brown.

still not 100% sure I want to move on though... can someone please buy this car and eliminate the choice for me?

thanks

Here's my 2 cents....first of all I'd never buy a Porsche without full leather....it's a gorgeous option and it's enjoyable to me every moment I'm in the car.........a must!

Secondly, Cream White is a very cool color....old school and unusual....you never see it around....what you do see everywhere is red, black and Arctic Silver.....my God.......Except for maybe Guards Red I'd want something different....something I wouldn't see coming aropund every corner.

The we come to Natural brown....IMO the nicest Porsche interior by far....it's just lovely........look at these pics and tell me it's not beautiful.....





I like the car you're considering......Good Luck with your choice!

Tom

Respectfully disagreed. Easier to care and maintain...... Absolutely

"look just as look".... Not really... Full leather is amazing, the stiching and combination with the seat is just gorgeous. It is a lot harder to keep and you need to be careful and care for it more often but it worth it

Not my cup of tea with the white but I really like it with the black or even with slate grey.
