I have it in my 996 and love it. I think it looks a bit more upscale. If I didn't have it I wouldn't miss it, but I think I would order it again.

Just the plain standard leather in stone. I like them and I like the way they look and feel with the tiny perforations. To me, they look more "sporty."

I had the supple leather option on my 993 CS and now have it on my 997 C4S. The 997 supple option is more contemporary and not Lexus-like. This wears well and I get lots of compliments on this option and my Lloyds custom mats.

I would recommend this option.

You are too funny!

I wouldn't order it. After too many years of working a desk job, I've already got a supple bottom. Seemed redundant to me.

Default supple yes

I also have supple leather and feel it ads a great richness to the full leather interior.

I have supple and love it. It's all a matter of personal taste, just like color choice. Get what you love.

I've had it on my 996 and found it to be hotter than my perforated seats--wet butt on hot days. I live in Texas so that may be a big difference, but my seats are cooler than the supple. See them both side-by-side and you'll be done with this decision.

I have it my Cabriolet and I love it. Before I ordered my car I sat in two 997'S one with standard seats the other with supple leather. And the one with the supple texture felt more comfortable to me. Problem solved, I ordered the supple.

Pic of supple leather. Very soft and comfortable.

Yes I am. A dealer has a car comming in that has alot of what I like except the steering wheel and PSE. The car has supple leather also. I guess I'm going to have to order one exactly to my specs.

Default Link to images on supple leather...

I have supple leather in my car. Since I didn't order the car I didnt choose it but I like it -- don't have any negatives. If you go to the link below you can see images of my interior. Hope this helps.
