Black/Limestone Beige Standard vs. Full leather?

[XLR82XS]

Is the full leather worth the $4700 upgrade? I am thinking no and that money is better spent on other options.

Worth it 100% - do it.

I think I have decided for my Gentian Blue RWD to go Beige interior based on comments here.

if you have a chance to see olea in person, i’d bet that you’ll go for it.

You guys are killing me. Just when I was about to finalize my call on standard. LOL

I recall my dealer did tell me adding the Olea added quite a bit of weight to the car, like a few hundred pounds. Not sure if there is a difference in weight with full leather vs. Olea. Don't know if I want to add a lot more weight to an already heavy car.

Sorry, but that is one of the stupidest statements from a Porsche dealer that I have ever made.

If you have decided on Olea in your head, there is no going back anyway

It's negligible. I love my full leather. If you're ever in Naples area I'm happy to show you.

I keep saying it, it's one of the few options at Porsche that you see and feel (and smell ) every time you drive. And not just while driving, just opening the door and looking at it

Does adding full leather change the back of the front seats? That looks like the biggest plasticy part in photos and would seem to affect anyone sitting in the back seat the most. Configurator says only:

• Seat bolsters (front and rear)
• Headrests (front and rear)
• Dashboard upper, front and lower sections
• Center console main storage compartment lid
• Center console side panel
• Door armrests (front and rear)
• Center door trim (front and rear)
• Door panels (front and rear)
• Decorative areas in the doors (front and rear

No, the backs are smooth. If deviated stitching option is ordered, then they are leather - stitched with color of choice.

Only with Olea Leather.

Interesting. The configurator doesnt indicate that is an affected area when you hit the "i" button.

Well you called that!! We live very close to the dealership and took a family bike ride this weekend. Basically the ride cost me $3000 as we all saw a car parked with Olea Atacama Beige and loved it!!

Previously wife hated the look of two tone seats but thought this combination looked gorgeous and wants me to get now over Limestone.

Would loved to have felt it as I hear Olea has softer seats but think it may have been someones car in for repairs.
