Moving to the 958 forum where it better fits.. hang on..

desmotesta

Full leather, without a question. I find it odd that $120K cars are shipped to dealers with all options and luxury, but with generic looking plastic dash.

May I ask why you are willing to pay New pricing for a 2018 Cayenne when the brand new model is coming out in mere months, with entirely different exterior and interior.
(unless by 2018 you mean the "new" Cayenne)

To each his own but just wondering why? may be you dislike the new body style....

Desmotesta is buying the new 2019 because it is the Biscay Blue color. I vote for full leather. Love it on my 13 C2S. BTW can you tell us how much of a discount you received? Which model are you ordering? The public configuration does not yet show all the interior and exterior color choices that will be available.

Two things I didn't order on my '17 where the painted black grille treatments and the soft-close doors. The weatherstripping is tight and more than a few times the last door closed doesn't quite smush the foam enough to fully close. So +1 for that choice.

I have the leather dash, along with the contrast stitching (which works for black/cohiba brown) but probably not for your color selections. I agree it looks better than the base vinyl/plastic. I didn't go for the added applied leather to the interior vents. I've seen it and it's not the same sort of improvement you notice going from base dash to stitched leather.

I disable LCA almost immediately. It only works when you use the turn signal, otherwise the sensors aren't active. Were it Lane Keeping Assist (adjust the steering to stay in lane) it might be more useful. I do have the ACC (cruise control) and it's eerily excellent to use. The way the camera is integrated into the grille could be better though, but there's requirements for what it takes to make that kind feature function. Making the choice again I might be inclined to skip it. But the new nav options might make it worthwhile.

Definitely full leather - always. Only con is cost.

Well, and maintenance...leather needs upkeep, no question. But looks, oh yeah, leather, no question!

I have full leather and carbon fiber package. I would vote for leather but not the carbon fiber. If you can get the Yachting Mahogonany Mahagany Mahogany? Get the leather & wood package, it's stunning.

wkearney99

Having seen the yachting mahogany in Steve's white Turbo, I agree, it's a nice looking option if you 'get' the teak/holly combination often used in boats.

LOL. That gave me a chuckle. I imagine a German engineer saying - "Why would anyone change lanes without using turn signals? It's an impossible scenario." But I actually agree, especially in conditions where LCA would be relevant.

The sensors on my 2017 S light up without using the turn signal for my LCA.....

porscherex

I have a 2018 Cayenne loaner today with LCA and the sensors on the mirrors light up without the turn signals on.

wkearney99

Really? I'll have to go re-read the manual on mine and check the settings. I could swear it the lights on the inside of the mirrors would light up only when I'd engaged a turn signal AND there was a vehicle in range of that side's sensors.

Hmm, the manual says:It also goes on to mention there are brightness settings for the lights. I'm betting I'd dimmed mine to a point that I don't notice them. I'll have to re-check later...

Same on my 2013 with LCA...indicator light comes on whenever a car is beside me.

I really like the full leather. I've had mine almost 3 months and i'm still discovering things that are leather-covered...like the grab handles on the front console by your knee (not sure if this is specific to the leather-only, but it seems that some Cayennes we test drove had rubber or vinyl handles). Also the suede-like material on the pillars.
