Porsche leather, unless you special order the fancier interiors, is not great stuff. So font go by that. My Audi's leather >>> my boxster's.
Also, old leather softens and gets a patina. New leather looks like the dye it is.
But then again, my "new" car is 7 years old and my regular car is 9 1/2 years old, so what do i know?
