Well, there is a significant difference between full leather seats and the $3300 full leather option. Full leather seats is a nice option that, as the title implies, replaces the standard hard seat back with a 360 degree full leather seat. A very nice choice I think... as it's the one I made. Still, full leather seats option leave the dash, door panels, center console side bolsters and rear console storage bin lid in the basic material which is stout, nicely done and by no means bovine hide and stitched thread.

The $3300 full leather option, and may the Lord praise the $4800 natural leather option, covers not only the seats in 360 degrees of gorgous leather but the dash, door panels, center console bolsters, rear console storage bin lid in leather and stitching... something I've experienced on the showroom floor only, I admit, but that the olfactory sensation of said option has stayed with me to this day. Awesome indeed. Still, though admittedly you did not ask, full leather seats are enough even for my tastes in a sports car as the utilitarian in me would rather transfer the $3300 as 40% of the total price of the $8000 PCCB brakes which smell even better... stitched or unstitched.

Either way, or both if you wish, you can not go wrong.

I have the full leather and I think its worth it. Not many cars even have the option for leather on the dash. Amazingly it includes the A pillar which goes all the way to the back. No stiching but its real leather. Unamazingly the console is not part of the package and it should because it looks cheap against the full leather, you can add it for something like $1200!

I've got the standard seats and I think it's fine.(it's the way the car came) IMO you'd have to look pretty close to figure out what's real and not. The only problem is you get only half the leather smell

Default This might help a bit

Here's how it works..., no dang! I forget the details and I'm not home so here's how I THINK it works:

If you want maximum leather WITH A VINYL DASH, you pay the $1500 "leather seat" option.

So if you want seats with maximum leather ONLY on the seats but with a dash (and various other panels) which will be vinyl you get the $1500 "leather seats" option.

Otherwise you add the $3500 (?) "full leather" option and get a leather dash along with maximim leather on the seats and the rest of the car. This could be wrong though, I think you can buy $1500 leather seats AND $3500 full leather without a conflict.

I also seem to remember that you can only get this $1500 seat option with adaptive sport seats, could be wrong though.

I ordered adaptive seats, and leather seats option ($1500) so I get lots of leather on teh seats but with a vinyl dash (didn't want leather dash; too many stitch lines confuse me) and other "plastic" (i.e. non-leather-covered) body panels. I hope this helps.

Maybe you could custom order the leather dash with zippers... no more stitch lines!

I got the full leather and it came with the full leather seats. So its actually just $1500 more for the dash leather. If you think of it that way, its not to bad an option, IF you already are thinking of getting the leather seats.

Sport Seats always have hard backs.

Go with the full leather. You will love the appearance and feel. It really gives the car a "rich" flavor. Also I love the supple leather as well. The seats a very comfortable, especially on long drives. Go for it, you won't regret it.
