Default How many people didn't get full leather?....

Any regrets? The full leather with the stitching on the upper door panels and dash always seems to make the interior more complete and have the nicer overall finish. I see a couple cars I like, but they don't have this. I know it doesn't affect the driving characteristics, but still wonder how people feel about this. Good paint, manual, and some buckets are probably all you need.

No leather... Dont care in the GT4 as its not what matters for this platform (turbo, 992, GT3 yes... GT4 IMO doesnt need it...) The rubber dash/doors match nicely to the rubber floor mats!

Many will tell you a stripper is all you need. For me, I had to spec the extended leather. This is of course a personal preference like all options.

GT4 with or without. GTS needs leather.

For the price of the trim especially compared to the 911 and Cayenne, in silver stitching for me it’s a no brainer. Going Red or Yellow the value starts to get more questionable. Specific colour stitching, adding fuse coverings, dash ends, sun visors, steering column then it gets more bloated and very pricey, but I respect those who go to that length, especially if it’s their dream car.

i was going to spec no leather, but in the end i caved. Honestly i'm really happy i did. The car i drove at the experience center had no leather and the interior reminded me of my Veloster. Not quite the $120k+ experience i was expecting.

Judging by the excel sheet list of options people picked that was updated for awhile, almost no one on here did. But I know a ton of cars at my dealer were plastic dash cars, even bloat builds with over 30k in options had the plastic dashes. Those were also the cars that sat on the lot for the first year of covid and took forever to sell so there is also that...

I always order full leather even on my non-GT cars, but I skip the extended leather option.

I went with base interior, mainly for ease of maintenance. Didn't want to worry about any possibility of leather shrinking or warping in the dash, or the nice stitching getting stained.

Unless it’s a track dedicated car, full leather is the way to go. Just looks and feels more upscale.

I would have chosen no leather if the trim on the doors was the same as the dash.

No and I don't regret it, but I happily spent money on the Burmester & Lava Orange paint and am well satisfied with them.

Yeah, way too much money for plastic dash. I sat in a Taycan and the interior was not nearly as nice as my $40,000 Avalon, Leather makes a big difference.
But I agree that a track GT4 who cares.
