I am thinking of going the leather route as the car will mainly be used for touring.

I nixed the GTS interior and went full leather & 18-way seats on my 2015 GTS as it is my daily and used for touring so I wanted heated/cooled/adjustable seats.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi everyone
I have put a deposit down today and was wondering if anyone has gone for the leather interior over the Race-Tex? If so, why and are you happy with your choice. I am thinking of going the leather route as the car will mainly be used for touring. Many thanks.
I nixed the GTS interior and went full leather & 18-way seats on my 2015 GTS as it is my daily and used for touring so I wanted heated/cooled/adjustable seats. I am also not a big fan of alcantara. I have absolutely no regrets and can easily spend all day in the seats on a long drive (e.g., Toronto to Atlanta). Try both and pick the one you like best, but I find the ability to adjust the seats slightly while underway a blessing given a lifetime of desk work. The heating/cooling is also great in summer / winter in a convertible.
Yep I have ordered all leather and not bothered with the GTS pack, because that’s the only bit of the GTS pack I wanted. I am personally not too keen on Alcantara. I also went with leather for the wheel.
Yes, i've gone for extended leather (black) as i don't like the furry feel of Race-Tex (Alcantara) and don't think it wears as well as leather.
Still awaiting my build slot
Hopefully I'll get this before the end of the year.

Yep. Two tone Bordeaux / black with the leather dash. Also added multifunction steering wheel in leather and Porsche emblem on he headrests. I left the alcantara roof lining though which I like.
I added the leather steering column and so glad I did. I now don’t really have any cheap looking plastic in my eyeline.
I also deleted the alcantara and went for the no cost leather. It is a matter of personal taste, I think. Some people like alcantara, I simply wouldn't have bought the car if I'd had to have it. I detest the stuff. I didn't make any other interior options and it feels fine to me. The only thing I regret is in deleting the alcantara, it doesn't delete it from the roof/A pillars. So you can delete that separately (which I didn't do alas). My car is Carrara White metallic, black interior, silver wheels
