Full Cocoa in mine. But I am the second owner. Not sure I would spring for it from new.

Being the fact I got a black interior I chose partial leather. In any other color though I probably would have ditched the Nav for the full leather.

my pre-owned S has full leather and i love it.
i am a bit more paranoid about it though.
it makes the interior much richer.

woohoo! hello all. first reply and funny to be in this thread. i just put on order my first Porsche (08 Atlas C4S). I put in the order because the only 4S they had on the lot didn't have full leather. maybe it's just me and this being my first sports car. the full leather i just had to had.

btw...you guys are awesome...very helpful to the porsche newb and this site really helped in me making informative decisions.

Have you guys gotten up close and personal with a V8 Vantage? Absolutely beautiful.

That experience alone would lead me to go for the full leather in the P-car.

Raja, I have the Sand Beige full leather also on my Sun Visors too. I got many P-car friends told me if they reorder again, definite order the full leather. Just go for it

I had a partial leather interior in my 996. It was ok. Good for the overall performance and ease of maintenance of the car since it was easy to keep vinyl nice. When I saw my friends 996 with full leather, I noted how much nicer his car's interior looked compared to mine (not as plasticy).

That being said, if I had to order the car, I'm not sure what I would do. On one hand, I like a simple basic sports car, on the other hand, the Porsche is a high-end luxury sports car.

I probably would opt for other performance options rather than get full leather. Sport seats would be on the top of my list of options, then the aero kit and Bose are the options I'd pick.

Full leather is nice for sure. I skipped it. My Porsche is fierce.

In the official pic thread about 11 posts down there's a pic of full leather. Though i wonder if that particular pic is suede. Either way it looks really nice.

the easiest way to tell is to look at the edge of the upper dashboard. if u see the double stitching then it's full leather interior.

There's a reason Porsche has the highest profit for any production vehicle sold!
