GTS stitching is only w Alcantara which i dont understand.

I'd have to check the sticker. I bought this off the lot, configured by the original buyer who backed out of the sale.

Ventilated seats are very nice in the summer -- I always order it, and no maintenance issues -- but I do have strict rules of no food in the cars. Porsche does a nice job with leather. Believe ventilated seats would be particularly beneficial with Black leather. Never had Alcantara.

Do wish it had the GTS stitching tho. Oh well. Im still excited!!

The only "delete" noted in my options on the sticker was for the Alcantara. As someone else posted, is possible that embroidered GTS emblem is also deleted as part of that option.

Upkeep is relatively easy with these seats. Because of the small holes, I use a soft bristle brush the shape and size of a shoe shine brush (in fact, it may be a shoe shine brush). I use Chemical Guys leather cleaner followed up with their leather conditioner. When applying the conditioner, I use a micro fiber sponge. I apply some conditioner on the sponge and rub it in to give the surface of the sponge creating a wet look, vs. the thick, creamy appearance of the conditioner. I then wipe the sponge onto the leather, using a dry micro fiber sponge to buff off the sheen. This prevents leaving blobs of conditioner in the small holes in the leather.

And while not a neat freak, I do my best to keep both the interior and exterior of this car looking good. Being a Targa, if it's not raining, the top is open, allowing more dirt and dust to get in the car, onto the leather. While it looks fresh and clean right after a full interior detailing, the leather shows very little dirt trapped in the holes over weeks between cleanings.

Don't worry too much about the little holes... I don't. Just to clarify, I haven't specifically done anything to clean them in 18 months and the picture shows way more "white dirt" than I see when I use the car...

I just got a GTS with leather and ventilated seats and it's very nice. At first I thought ventilated seats was kind of a BS feature, but I've now been converted. I also came from an RS5 with Alcantara seats.

My first Porsche was a 1972 914. No A/C, which was fine, as top was off of it most of the time anyway. Would have loved the ventilated seats back then. They are welcome addition in my Targa here in the south where the temps and humidity stay high for months on end.

I think VS are a must have for any cab. Glad I got them over the GTS AC seats

GTS stitching comes w GTS interior. I for instance do not have since I wanted standard/premium plus.

Scottykenneth

Yea man. In the same boat!

Ventilated seats in my luxor beige Cayenne and std black interior 911. Clean up on the luxor beige is easy, no issue with the little holes. The 911 is no issue either to clean. Ventilation is brilliant, it really cools your bottom and back. I traded out of my Mercedes E550 cab with ventilated seats- garbage compared with the Porsche.

Great!! Def glad I went w this option.

Leather ventilated seats are nice. I always get full leather in these cars because I don't like the plasticky dash.
