Full leather or Adaptive sport seat

If you can only pick one, what would you pick and why? Thanks!

Full leather - the interior and dash look far better with the full leather. I had normal seats in my 4S then adaptive in my PTT - I can't tell the difference - actually I think I like the nomal 14 way seats better. The adaptive ones don't do anything either - they don't inflate on cornering or anything they just have bigger bolsters.

For me full leather makes a difference.. It is much more pleasing to live with on the dash and doors than the standard stuff. I also like the 14 way leather seats, and I get enough lateral support from them when I need it

Full Leather. Not that you need Cooled Seats in NY/NJ, but you can't get them with Adaptive Seats...and when you want them, they help keep your A$$ cool.

And Full Leather also looks better, especially for the lighter interior shades. My P2S had black standard interior, and was still very nice, but I would not have bought any other interior color without it being full leather.

I think full leather in these Porsche cars makes a huge difference in how refined and luxurious they feel. I'm in an '09 C2S temporarily until my PTT arrives, and it doesn't have the leather on the dash board like my prior 911 had. The difference is big.

Thanks guys. Whats your vote for light colored full leather interior? I love the cognac but not sure why its 1k+ more than the other leather options. Luxor beige or blue/cream?

What's the exterior color? I love the blue/cream as it's so unique, but it does depend on exterior match.

I'm also a dark interior guy...black interior never shows wear and dirt like any lighter color.

Also, since your car has all the Sport Design options, you need a sporty interior. To me, that excludes any of the lighter shades that you mentioned earlier. Either Black, Black/Gray or one of those newer options. Also no brown wood. Either Piano Black, Carbon, Silver or Exterior Color for your interior color.

I think that cognac is great interior with some colors, but lighter shades always show some wear if you really use your car as a daily driver.

I stick with black, because it hides so many sins and seems to always look good..

I dont use my car as a daily driver... i've always had blk on blk on my cars... really would like to switch it up for a lighter color. I was thinking maybe cognac or beige with carbon for a stronger contrast. or yachting blue with alum or blk wood..

I think the beige is too light. My car (which I ordered in March, should have been delivered by now but was "irreparably damaged" between the factory and the port in Germany, so now I'm waiting on a 2012 which should arrive August/September) will have the cognac natural full leather. My last 2 cars had black interiors and I just need a break from black interiors...
