Supple Leather Seats - Good, Bad, or Ugly?
#18
As someone else said, no comfort difference. It is strictly appearance. I had supple leather on my first 996 (bought it pre-owned with under 10K miles back in June 99), and it doesn't wear well.
I wouldn't get it. I also not a big fan of the "natural" leather any longer, now that the "normal" full leather interiors in the 997's are very nice (by Porsche standards).
Just "regular" full leather for me

Points,
I like the supple leather.
I had it on my 996 which was my DD for over 3 years. They are much easier to clean than perforated leather. My seats held up well. Only about 10% of the time did I have a passenger, and after 3 years, the driver seat didn't look much different than the passenger seat.

i had them on my Cayenne turbo and they were more comfortale than the regular seats. i found you sat "in" them a bit more which was good in the cayenne as the bolstering was mild.
can't say about wear as the CTT was swapped in 6 months
